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.

Zigal Phoenixmage inherited his mother's fascination with fire magic, but his interests run more toward pyrotechnics.  His experiments are often accompanied by loud, violent explosions, and everyone is convinced he'll blow himself up someday, to the point where there's a betting pool on just how long it will be.  For now, though, Zigal's ability to walk away unscathed from even the worst explosion has earned him the surname Phoenixmage.
