This egg is perfectly round.
In the wild, the behavior of these fragile butterflies changes drastically from those individuals who have bonded to a magi. Unbonded glass butterflies migrate year-round, never staying long in one place. The butterflies appear to make it their goal to explore the entire world, and once an individual has visited somewhere, it is incredibly unlikely they will ever return to the same area. The more places they have visited, the more colorful their wings become, with deep greens, blues and pinks visible on the wings of the oldest members of the species. These creatures have a keen sense of magic and can sense its presence, no matter how small. These butterflies do not eat, and receive sustenance instead from magic itself. Butterflies who have not bonded to a magi will absorb wild or untamed magic in the world, and it is thought that they prevent catastrophes or imbalances in nature from occurring by doing this. Unlike their lives as hatchlings, glass butterflies absorb magic permanently, removing it entirely from whatever area or object the butterfly chooses. When a wild butterfly dies, others will flock to the body, burying it and absorbing the magic the butterfly leaves behind. However, if the butterfly dies violently, a small explosion of magic will be easily sensed by those sensitive to it. When these butterflies migrate through an area, magi do their best to protect the creatures from people who would harm them or use their absorbed magic for nefarious purposes. Perhaps due to the effects of magic they absorb, or merely their sensitivity to it, the wings of these butterflies are both as hard and brittle as glass.
