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.

To say that Duharo isn't one of the Goldenmage Assembly's most successful trainees is a vast understatement.  Half the time, his spells either don't work or, worse yet, fail spectacularly, like the time he botched a re-shelving spell and scrambled the text on a couple hundred scrolls (the last time Ilnejal allowed him anywhere near the library).  Realizing that the Goldenmage Assembly was spending more time cleaning up after Duharo's failed spells than training him, Tynef and Dahoi finally appointed Duharo an information-gatherer.  When not using magic, Duharo is quite competent and he's very good at ferreting out information, so he's actually more use to the Assembly this way than he would have been as a teacher or researcher (if he'd actually managed to complete training).
