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.

Magrat is a 'bookish' magi dragon. She loves to read and believes that many wisdoms can be found in the pages of ancient tomes. In itself this wouldn't be a problem but Magrat's respect for books is bordering on Faith with a capital F. She listens to books more eagerly than to her teachers and any statement gains worth in her eyes simply if it's written down.

This has helped her to become the expert on healing magic in Delirium's academy since she devoured every book on herbs and healing that found its way to her. Yet her knowledge in other magical areas is pretty restricted and her skills (and her attitude) are similar to that of most white dragons.

Magrat seriously thinks of leaving Delirium's academy to join the cloister of whites following Pax Ninetynine.
