Animus magic is a rare ability found in some dragon tribes. Animus dragons are able to enchant objects or living beings to change their appearance or behavior, or to instill magical properties into enchanted objects. The only known limit to animus magic is that it cannot bring a dragon back from the dead,[1] but it may have negative effects on the user.
Animus magic is genetically inherited. The genes for animus magic are currently present in the NightWings and SeaWings, and possibly the SandWings. Animus magic was formerly present in the IceWings and SkyWings.
As of the end of arc three, there are no current animus dragons, due to an enchantment made by Jerboa III.

Remember this is powerful, powerful magic. It can go wrong very easily. It’s so powerful that you can do almost anything, except bring a dragon back from the dead.”"
