Sacris crystalwing hatchlings are small enough to fit in the palm of a magi's hand and grow over the course of a year to their full size, which is still small enough to comfortably sit on even a child's shoulders, draped loosely around their neck like a slightly sharp scarf. They hatch with both the crystal feathers that tip their wings, and with the ability to calm the agitated emotions of anyone nearby. Magi actually avoid having too many sacris crystalwing hatchlings together simply because they can cause such calm that everyone who enters the area falls asleep. That doesn't mean they aren't active hatchlings, however; sacris crystalwings are curious creatures and their small size allows them to crawl into tiny nooks and crannies. They tend also to be fearless and will happily make friends with any creature that lets them, big or small.
Legend states that the first sacris crystalwing was born from a broken stained glass window, after it was smashed during a time of war. Despite their violent beginnings, sacris crystalwings are renowned for their kindness and benevolent nature. They're creatures of sunlight and colour, and can often be seen dozing in sunny spots, where the light can catch the crystal feathers at the tips of their wings. Too delicate and small to be of use in a fight - and a sacris crystalwing would never show any violence - they can still be a calming influence with just their presence. Many magi take them along when expecting unfriendly encounters with man or beast, letting the sacris crystalwing ride on their shoulder so it can enjoy the light and spread its calming influence over anyone nearby.
