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.

Brightmage, son of Lightbearer, has a personality similar to his mother's, having been raised almost exclusively by her. He is determined, and when he wants something, he usually gets it. He is, however, careful about choosing what it is he wants—he'll only try to do or obtain something if he's absolutely certain that it's the best choice possible. Some of the other dragons find him a bit unsettling, as he is prone to staring at those around him as if he knows precisely what they're thinking at any given moment.
