Seye

---

Seye — short for “mind’s eye” and pronounced “sai” — specializes in a special combination of magical arcane properties and technology, called “magitech”. She’s a bit eccentric, and is usually found zipping around her den with her arms stuffed full of various gadgets and gizmos, ready to be enchanted. She’s very chatty, and talks to herself as she works. She talks a mile a minute, making it very difficult for other dragons to understand her. Those who can understand her speed-talking will usually find that what she says as she’s working is mostly gibberish and jargon anyway.

Despite her odd behavior, hyperactivity, and difficulty communicating at a pace other dragons can understand, Seye is extremely intelligent, and her inventions are extremely useful to the clan. Cadfael turns up his nose at the idea of combining magic with technology, — with the exception of possibly cheating and using his Lightning magic to charge something — and so Seye’s magitech fills in that niche. Sometimes, there are things that normal technology just can’t achieve, and they need the little extra kick that Arcane magic can provide.

Even though Cadfael personally dislikes the idea of magitech, Seye has become one of his biggest supporters. Cadfael is one of the few dragons who can understand her speed and her technology jargon, and Seye loves bouncing her invention ideas off of him. In exchange for her support, Cadfael has slowly come around to some of the applications of magitech, and has reluctantly agreed that it does have its uses. They even collaborated in the act of building Seye’s robot assistant, Starseed.

Because of the strange combinations of magic and technology used in Seye’s work, those in the clan who work to repair technology are baffled by her work. In Seye’s case, it is literally magic, so when she winks and grins and cheekily declares that “It’s magic!”, frustrated repairdragons like Diago can only huff, roll their eyes, and leave to let her fix her own work. Since Seye has to do her own repairs, she might actually spend more time fixing her inventions that have already reached public use rather than inventing new things.
