You find yourself at a mysterious stream. Floating down it are beautiful eggs, unlike any you've ever seen or heard of, decorated with odd scales and extraordinary colors. Some are already hatching, and you can see hints of what they might become. The water glows, almost beckoning you forward, and the trees seem to lean inward, as if by some enchantment. You have made an amazing discovery, and wish you could take an egg or two. These rare eggs can be raised into adults, if nurtured and raised well. If grown to adulthood, they can become beautiful and potent allies for any magi.
Magi are magic wielders, students and teachers from all corners of the world, who spend their time traveling to distant lands, learning and experimenting in all forms of sorcery. Rare eggs help greatly in their travel, both in wizard wars and as steeds. Will you join the ranks of these wizards, and take on the responsibility and adventure these creatures promise to bring? Choose your own egg, and begin the journey.
Simply click one to take it as your own. Don't see anything you want? The eggs you see are automatically updated faster than you can refresh! Eggs that are no longer available will be instantly replaced with new ones. Can't seem to find the egg you're looking for? Try the shops.

Magistream Monthly Newsletter - September 2024
The Magistream Newsletter contains information on what we're currently working on and planning, what technical issues have been fixed and are being worked on, as well as information of upcoming events or happenings in the near future. We'll also gladly hear if you have other topics you'd like to be included in upcoming newsletters! Feel free to discuss these ideas in this very same thread.
Introducing our user groups and team a little bit!
At the bottom bar of the site there's a link "The team" represented by a shield icon. Clicking that shows you the list of site administrators, moderators, artists, advisors, and writers. Today we'll describe with a bit more detail what each usergroup does. This information will also be included later on in the new version of the FAQ that we are currently working on. On the October Newsletter we'll be covering the different user groups of regular users.
Administrators
User group: Administrators
Administrators on the site have access to a lot of site maintenance features provided by the phpBB forum platform. You can recognize Administrators by the dark blue username, or a curry-colored username in case of Rosehill.
Raneth - Raneth is the owner of the site. He takes care of all the financial and business side of things and partakes in coming up and planning for ideas to develop the site. He handles username changes, and any troubles if you don't get your shards when you donate. He does not do any technical stuff. He gets the last say in what gets implemented in case the team is indecisive or divided, which rarely happens.
Rosehill - Rosehill is the site coder. She handles all the technical stuff, fixes bugs, makes new features happen, puts in new releases, etc. She also takes care of the Newsletter and makes sure that release posts are published on social media, and that planned releases and features and events are scheduled and put in motion along with planning and throwing out ideas for new stuff. If you encounter technical trouble on the site report it in the Report Site Errors thread, and Rosehill will know to take a look.
Madd and Morgaln are currently mostly inactive, so please only contact Raneth or Rosehill on site related issues.
======================== ======================== ============================
Site Moderators
User group: Moderators
Site Moderators have moderation privileges on all forum boards. They take care that the site rules are followed, possible spam account posts are deleted and spambots banned, help new and old users alike with the site's functions, and help users with non-technical site and trade issues (e.g. trading partner hasn't confirmed their side in two days). You can recognize the Moderators by their dark teal usernames and the title of "Site Moderators". The Site Moderators take part in the discussions and brainstorming about new releases, and features, and event planning. The Site Moderators are sometimes referred to as "tealies" due to their username color.
NyxNoire and Sochitelya are currently active, and PKGriffin and ShaiNeko mostly inactive, so please only contact the first two.
======================== ======================== ============================
Forum Moderators
User groups: Hall of the Speakers moderators, Hall of the Arts moderators, Tea House moderators, Merchant District moderators, Reindeer Games moderators, and Roleplay Stage moderators.
Forum Moderators have moderator privileges in certain forums, indicated by the user group name. Forum moderators take care of their own forums in the way Site Moderators take care of all of all of the forums, and help new and old users alike in using the forums. You can recognize them by their orange usernames and Moderator titles. The Forum Moderators are not part of the discussions of new releases and features, so they do not have any advance knowledge of what is going to happen and when.
======================== ======================== ============================
Artists
User group: Artists
The Artists are the ones who create pretty much all of the sprite and digital images used on the site. They also take part in the discussions and brainstorming about new releases, and features, and event planning. The artists also have similar moderator privileges to the Site Moderators, and can thus moderate any forums on the board. You can recognize the Artists by their dark green usernames and title of "Site Artist".
======================== ======================== ============================
Writers
User group: Writers
The writers take part in the discussions and brainstorming about new releases, and features, and event planning, and are the ones who mostly take care of writing creature descriptions. On occasion other people will also write creature descriptions, but the writers handle the majority of them. You can recognize them by their light blue usernames and the title of "Writer". The writers do not hold no moderator powers on the forums.
======================== ======================== ============================
Advisors
User group: Advisors
Advisors take part in the discussions and brainstorming about new releases, and features, and event planning. They represent the views of the regular users and user game play. you can recognize them by their bright light blue usernames. The Advisors do not hold any moderator powers on the forums.
======================== ======================== ============================
NPCs
NPCs, a.k.a non player characters, are accounts that serve a certain function on the site. Some are operated by members of the team, while some are not, and are automated instead. The NPCs are meant for "in-game" interaction, serving as merchants, informants, chaos bringers, and other more role-playey elements on the site.
A few prominent NPCs on site:
Thane - High Archmage Thane is the benevolent but no-nonsense leader of the Keep. He welcomes new users, and usually brings news, gathers people for bigger quests, and is otherwise involved with the magical happenings at the Keep and surrounding areas.
Master Belmos - Master Belmos is the undisputed merchant king. He grows and takes care of a lot of creatures, and offers them up for sale in his own area "Nursery Shopping Front" at the Merchant District. If you have creatures you wish to get rid of, especially frozen eggs, Master Belmos is glad to take them. In that case please send them to NurseryHelper. Master Belmos and Nursery Helper will unfreeze and unname creatures sent to them, and then offer them up for sale. Do note, that it is not guaranteed that you could get back the creatures you send over to them.
Talyn - Talyn usually means either trouble or adventure, depending on who you ask. He invokes and brings chaos with him with whatever he's pursuing at any given moment, yet his endeavors often also lead to new discoveries, or at least fun times.
New features and happenings since the last Newsletter in August:
A reminder that known bigger issues are listed in the Report Site Errors thread's first post. They are now also put approximately in order of which fixes will be worked on first.
