Wizard Classic: Difference between revisions

* '''[[Robe and Wizard Hat|Traditional Wizardly Attire]]''': Wizards are known for wearing long robes, especially in blue or grey, and pointed hats, often floppy and without brims. Sometimes the hat is omitted, but rarely the robe. They also have a long [[Wizard Beard]] that's usually white.

* '''[[Magic Staff|Carry a Magic Staff]]''': Wizards are known for carrying staffs which they use as a device to aid in casting spells and for a walking stick. They are heavily associated with wizards over any other type of magic user.

* '''Wizardly Habits''': Wizards are very often solitary folk who live alone in far off, difficult to reach places, studying in seclusion. They also tend to live in tall towers, the better to be closer to the stars. They have been known to enjoy [[Walking the Earth]], however, and people seem to stumble upon them at random...or is it fate? They also tend to have apprentices hanging around. A Wizard can be a [[Court Mage]] but even then they tend to have their own areas and act aloof. If they have a pet, it's usually a bird of some kind, like a crow or owl. A degree of [[Eccentric Mentor|eccentricity]] is quite common, be it real or feigned, which masks the wizard's considerable power.

* '''Mostly Male'''; Wizards, when the title is not just a term for 'male magic user', are still often shown as being [[Always Male]]. This may have more to do with males being the more educated of the sexes in historical times when even wealthy and noble females were rarely even taught to read. For this reason alone the possibility of a female wizard would be unlikely. However, if wizards ''can'' be either gender, and are different from a witch, it is common for the female variety to be called a ''Sorceress'' or have some other term applied to help with the differentiation. Strangely ''Wizardess'' or some other variant of the word "wizard" is practically non-existent as a term.

 

A Classic Wizard is not always a [[Squishy Wizard]], but it's common. The same with a [[Kung Fu Wizard]]. See also [[The Archmage]].
