Hi,
I've always quite liked owls so the thought of them as maneaters seems a little off to me. A hawk or an eagle I'd understand more. The shriek I like - it fits with an animal attack. But the lighning cast doesn't seem to me to work so well. The strix are still animals and so in my mind shouldn't be able to cast magic. That takes some sort of intelligence. Having magic on the other hand that you don't need to cast works better. So maybe lightning sometimes flashes from their talons when they strike - that sort of thing? Magic that is in keeping with instinct etc.
Cheers, Greg.
