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.

In hindsight, the other dragons have decided that giving Beryn a fancy title like "Lightmage" was a rather bad idea indeed. Like an alarming number of dragons in his flight, he is an incurably lazy dragon, often using his rank to get out of doing as much work as possible, instead delegating tasks to the younger mage dragons. As a lightmage, he is quite skilled in conjuring illusions, though he rarely uses his talents for reasons other than making it appear as if he is not in his study when the other mages come knocking.
