WizardThe word wizard came from the word wise and used to mean a sage.In Lord of the Rings, wizards are a group of immortals with magical powers. They are incredibly ancient, wise, and powerful. The most well known of the wizards was Gandalf. Gandalf never displayed a great amount of his power, but probably restrained himself and resorted to wisdom. Gandalf revealed his true power by battling in hand to hand combat with a balrog (powerful demon) and surviving. |

Wizards are usually meant to be spell-casters, like magicians, but are usually more powerful. In Dungeons and Dragons, "wizard" is the title given to the most skilled magicians. In Dragon Quest, wizards are the most powerful spell-casting villains, other than the Dragonlord. |
