This is shown when he turns a mage gone bad (a former friend at school named Tristan Staghorn) into a tree after he, (Tristan) tries to hurt Daine. He is one of the seven 'black-robe' mages in the world, and though is usually mild-mannered and awkward, can be extremely emotional at times. Numair Salmalin: A brown skinned, very tall, very powerful mage with the ability to shape shift.Daine (along with other characters of the series) also appears briefly in the Protector of the Small and Daughter of the Lioness series. She even develops a tentative friendship with a Stormwing named Rikash. She is shown to hate Stormwings, magical creatures who prey on fear and warfare, in the first books, but later changes her mind when she realizes that Stormwings are simply what they are. Despite her original fear of her wild magic overpowering her, she learns to control her power. Born in the village of Snowsdale in Galla, her father is Weiryn, a minor god of the hunt who fell in love with Daine's mother, Sarra.
