Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Wiritin might have fewer near-death experiences than his mate claims to have had, but he's still lived a life of quiet heroism. Like his parents, he works to preserve spell variants and local knowledge that would otherwise be lost when an isolated weyr perished or was absorbed into a larger colony. He might not be risking his life fighting vampires, but he has resurrected several lost spells, which in his mind is just as important.
