Also Called[]

  • Male Witch/Witch (Varies; modern term)
  • Sorcerer
  • Warlock

Properties[]

The user is a wizard, a man who has magical powers, especially in legends and fairy tales. In various mythologies and forms of media they've been portrayed as wise, elderly and long-bearded men with great supernatural power. They've been known to use wands to execute their magic yet are also known to use magic without the use of wands, staffs or other mediums. These male magic users have also been labeled as warlocks, male witches, sorcerers, mages, enchanters, etc. No matter their title and whether they've been known to practice wizardry, witchcraft, sorcery or simply just magic, these males are known to be able to cast spells, brew potions and possess many other magical abilities. In some worlds, wizards and witches are simply the male and female counterparts of the same archetype.

In various modern interpretations, wizards are often distinguished from other magic users in their abilities often being portrayed as a studied craft resembling a form of art or science and that is often associated to the culture of the beings that utilize it, though their ability to access their power may still be related to innate potential, which can also lead to some wizards possessing more extensive or potent capabilities than others within their world. Their knowledge of the supernatural may extend beyond their capability to utilize it to produce effects or influence phenomena through various means, making them comparable to an occultist.
