If you want me to change it or make something for you, just ask directly on Instagram @boris3dstudio https://www.instagram.com/boris3dstudio/ A wizard is someone who uses magic from supernatural, occult, or arcane sources. They are common figures in fantasy works like literature and role-playing games, and have a rich history in mythology, legends, fiction, and folklore. In medieval chivalric romance, wizards often appear as wise old men and act as mentors. Merlin from the King Arthur stories is a prime example of this. Wizards like Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings and Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter are also featured as mentors, with Merlin remaining prominent in modern works of Arthuriana. Other magicians, like Saruman from The Lord of the Rings or Lord Voldemort from "Harry Potter", can appear as hostile villains. Villainous sorcerers were crucial to pulp fantasy that the genre where they appeared was dubbed sword and sorcery. Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea explored how wizards learn their art, introducing the role of the wizard as protagonist in modern fantasy. This theme has been developed further in modern fantasy, often leading to wizards as heroes on their own quests. Such heroes may have their own mentor, a wizard as well. Wizards can be cast similarly to the absent-minded professor: being foolish and prone to misconjuring. They can also be capable of great magic, both good or evil. Even comical wizards are often capable of great feats, such as Miracle Max in The Princess Bride; although he is a washed-up wizard fired by the villain, he saves the dying hero. Appearance Wizards are often depicted as old, white-haired, and with long white beards majestic enough to occasionally host lurking woodland creatures. This depiction predates the modern fantasy genre, being derived from the traditional image of wizards like Merlin. In the Dragonlance campaign setting of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, wizards show their moral alignment by their robes. Terry Pratchett described robes as a magician's way of establishing to those they meet that they are capable of practicing magic. Limits To introduce conflict, writers of fantasy fiction often place limits on the magical abilities of wizards to prevent them from solving problems too easily. In Larry Niven's The Magic Goes Away, once an area's mana is exhausted, no one can use magic. A common limit invented by Jack Vance in his The Dying Earth series, and later popularized in role-playing games is that a wizard can only cast a specific number of spells in a day. Magic can also require various sacrifices or the use of certain materials, such as gemstones, blood, or a live sacrifice. Even if the magician lacks scruples, obtaining the material may be difficult. A.K. Moonfire combines these limits in his book The Aubrey Stalking Portal. The magician expends power to fuel his spells, but does not replenish that power naturally; therefore, he must make sacrifices to generate more magical power. The extent of a wizard's knowledge is limited to which spells a wizard knows and can cast. Magic may also be limited by its danger; if a powerful spell can cause grave harm if miscast, wizards are likely to be wary of using it. Other forms of magic are limited by consequences that, while not inherently dangerous, are at least undesirable. In A Wizard of Earthsea, every act of magic distorts the equilibrium of the world, which in turn has far-reaching consequences that can affect the entire world and everything in it. As a result, competent wizards do not use their magic frivolously. In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, the Law of Conservation of Reality is a principle imposed by forces wanting wizards to not destroy the world, and works to limit how much power it is humanly possible to wield. Whatever your means, the effort put into reaching the ends stays the same. For example, when the wizards of Unseen University are chasing the hapless wizard Rincewind in the forest of Skund, the wizards send out search teams to go and find him on foot. The archchancellor beats them to it by using a powerful spell from his own office, and while he gets there first by clever use of his spell, he has used no less effort than the others.
