General
Elemental crystalwings are strange creatures. Unlike the most well-known (if not most commonly seen) crystalwings that are creatures of earth and air, they display strong affinity for a specific element the moment they hatch, and actively seek out magi with similar affinities to partner with. Sometimes if an elemental crystalwing does not find a suitable magi, it will even seek out a creature with similar powers as a companion instead. This is uncommon, as elemental crystalwings are highly useful magical companions, making spells of their corresponding element far easier to cast in their presence. Magi speculate that elemental crystalwings seek companions so readily because they are rarely seen manipulating their element themselves, seemingly preferring to help exert their will on the world by helping a companion do so instead.
Egg
This egg is so bright it hurts to look at.
Hatchling
Elemental crystalwing hatchlings are immediately inquisitive upon hatching, if a bit lethargic. They spend the first few days of their lives exploring their environment, seemingly subsiding on the ambient magic that makes up the world, as they do not eat, and everything around them relating to the corresponding element gets just slightly duller somehow during this time. Elemental crystalwing parents will watch the hatchlings during this period, but the hatchlings grow independent very quickly and soon venture off to find a suitable companion.
Adult
Light elemental crystalwings shimmer wherever they go, even in the darkest of caves, and exude a reassuring aura. They are particularly beloved by scholars, for their light allows studying deep into the night, well past when a candle would have burned itself out, and their presence has a tendency to sharpen a person’s focus, illuminating what once seemed obscure. Crystals from light elemental crystalwings, unsurprisingly, shine with their own light for years, and larger ones make excellent lamps. They are also often used as statement jewelry, as well as in investigation rituals.
