Magic-Users in Popular Culture and Media[edit]
- Mission Statement
Many pieces of popular culture include mention of or characters that are magic users. The words used to describe them often vary and it would seem no one can seem to decide what sets one magician apart from another. The goal is not to create a universal definition for each magic user, as we can never truly come to a conclusion that is distinct and agreed upon, but instead to compile the different instances in which they appear, and compare them to one another. This page is open to edits by all, to add additional characters or improve the information appended to those here.
If you choose to add a character, please do so under the appropriate heading. Be sure to include the character's name, what property they belong to, and anything we know about how they do magic, how they learned magic, or anything else of interest.
With your help, our tome of collective knowledge can grow.
