Homebrew Wingly Species Details

Winglies are known by their platinum hair, and ability to fly short distances on wings that appear at will. The Winglies of present day are less powerful than their ancestors, as they can no longer fly vast distances. However, they continue to have lifespans exceeding a thousand years. 

Winglies are adept at magic, and this is likely due in no small part by the Spartan practices of the long-past Wingly regime of Melbu Frahma. Part of the work of Deningrad's Birth City was killing Wingly babies that showed no aptitude for magic. With a talent as subtle as magic, this was undoubtedly an even more severe practice than deadly and brutal trials of strength were for the Spartans. Additionally for a Wingly, education and upbringing are nearly as important as an affinity for magic.
