Revision as of 00:19, 12 February 2020
  |
This article contains canon information corresponding to the Tales of Arcadia franchise. That means all information in this article is true and has appeared/been validated officially on-screen. |
Wizards/Witches (also called sorcerers/sorceresses, mages, etc.) are ancient beings who possess a large variety of magical powers.
So far, the only known true wizards to appear in the franchise are Merlin and Morgana.
Physical Description
Wizards take on the common appearance of humans. They are usually seen wearing armor (regardless of whether they are in battle or at ease).
Civilization
TBA...
Powers & Abilities
Wizards and witches are well known for their capability of performing enormous feats of magic. A few wizards have a gift of precognition (glimpsing the future), yet they are not always clear.[1] They are also immortal, thus they can live (as well as sleep [1]) for thousands of years without dying, and no mortal weapon can kill them (especially a few magically-crafted ones).[2] Powerful wizards are also able to absorb the magic of others.[2][3]
Wizards also appear to be stronger and faster than ordinary humans, as well as possessing invulnerability.
Weaknesses
Despite their nearly-unlimited power, wizards are vulnerable to having their magic depleted if they use too much of their power all at once. This leaves them losing most of their magical powers and being unable to use magic beyond simple parlor tricks (if they have some magic left in them).[1]
