Evening all!
I'm currently writing up the "rules" of magic for my world. Thus far, there are five categories. I've essentially written a thesis on the subject.
However, I have hit a small snag. Can someone provide their opinions on the difference between glamour and shape-shifting for me? Is...

A little six-year-old girl called River Greene sat perched upon her bed, a pouting expression on her face as her slightly-blurry gaze skimmed across the books on her bookshelves. With a dramatic sigh, she fell back and groaned in an oddly sing-song tone, “Bored, bored, bored!”

Sometimes the police have to deal with dragon's nesting in the city, and not the ones native to the Dominion, no. Sometimes they have to deal with illegal exotic pet dragon's that people bring in from other countries.
