Let's spread some magic by honoring our wizards, sorcerers&spell casters

Pick your favorite wizard or spell caster - no matter if Galemancer, citizen of the holy Rolan empire or your own Tav (or all of them) - and put them with all your love and favorites for them on display! Don't be shy to let us know why you like them so much and how they put a spell on your heart.
Do as much or as less as you want, tag your friends and let’s work some magic together! Answer the prompts through VP, fanfics, headcanons, fanart etc. – whatever you like! #MagicalMarch 🎇💐🎇 Reblog, No Repost
It's time for favorite VPs! I had a hard time deciding on one, but ended up going with this. I just checked, this was taken the third time I ever opened photo mode, almost a year ago. Back then, I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow I managed to capture a shot I still love. 💕

All the love to @bhaal-battle-beer-bard for another fun prompt! 🫶🏻
Here are my favourite VPs of the twins!
Saoirse 💫
Maeve 💫
Buuuuuuuuut! I also wanted to showcase some of the other VP I have with their loved ones! I've always loved movies/TV/books with ensemble casts, because I believe that the people around the main characters matter so much to the story. And the loved ones the twins keep close are wonderful, and very similar to my amazing friends! 💜
Keeping them under the cut because there's a lot! 👇🏻
Their older brothers, Cillian (L) and Tiernan (R)
Their sister-in-laws (main/Pure Magic universe) Baltana (L) and Lelith (R) (Baltana is Tiernan's and Lelith is Cillian's!)
Their best friends Zailia, Indira and Aleesia (L-R)
Saoirse with Virath and Aleesia
Maeve with Indira and Zailia
Saoirse and Gale
Maeve and Rolan (though to be honest, every single VP of them is my favourite 🥰)
In my story, the combination of an Evocator wizard and a Storm domain sorcerer is practically canonical for me. Besides, Professor Gale doesn't exist in it, so the Illusion's specialization is a nice bonus, but nothing more. Why? I'll tell you :)
This is a continuation of the story "Hawk, Night Dancer".
Want to make up your character for a photo shoot? Throw a fireball at them :)
“Gale! What are you doing? No!!!”
Mel knew he wouldn't reach him in time to stop the wizard. Down there, on the arena floor, was his sister. She had just downed one of the three massive ogres with a skillful dagger strike to the base of its skull. The other two, enraged by their comrade's death, were closing in, emboldened by guttural roars.
The air shuddered as a massive fireball hurtled down. A moment later, it slammed into the ogres, deafening them and throwing them to the ground.
Ignoring the stairs, Mel rushed down, simply jumping from the tiers. The screams of the spectators and the roar of the hungry flames drowned out all other sound. Ember was alive; by some miracle, the fireball hadn't touched her. She looked at the stands in confusion, trying to find the caster. Finally, she spotted him.
But behind her, one of the ogres began to rise, paying no mind to his smoldering flesh, charred to the raw meat.
Mel almost reached the bottom platform. He caught the wizard waving his hand at Ember, and immediately after the first, a second clot of flame fell upon the arena. This time, it was aimed with absolute precision. And the target was his sister.
“What are you doing? No! Have you lost your mind?!! You’ll kill her!”
He seized Gale by the arms, spinning him around.
“You’ve gone mad…”
The wizard’s gaze was perfectly clear.
“Mel, just trust me. Look down. It won't harm her.”
Amidst the sea of fire raging across the arena and the now-undeniably dead ogres, a small, lean figure moved like a defiant spirit of the flame in a frenzied, captivating victory dance.
The howl of the stands had changed. It was no longer indignant or hateful. They were screaming—ecstatically, wildly, fiercely. They beat out a strange rhythm against the wooden stands with their feet, hands, and weapons—anything they could reach.
“Z'ress! Z'ress! Sut nind! Sut! Sut! Sut!”
The huge arena shook with a rhythmic roar.
“What are they shouting, Mel? Do you understand any of it?”
Mel didn't hear him; he was staring at the arena, at the fire, at his sister dancing within it. In his mind, he was down there beside her. And he was laughing.
Gale shook him by the shoulder.
“What are they shouting, Mel?”
The elf turned, as if only just noticing the wizard beside him.
“Them? They’re screaming for her freedom! It was a no-holds-barred match, to the last survivor. She, and those who stood with her, staked their lives. The prize was freedom! We took too long to get here…” his smile faded slightly, “but we made it. Praise all the gods, we found her in time.”
To be continued.
Okay, I'll catch up anyway :)

Magical March - Day 3: You Won't Pass on the Right SUBCLASS
*Your fave arcane caster subclass
Thank you @bhaal-battle-beer-bard for the prompts this week! 💜
Got a little behind because of real life so I'm catching up!
Was able to get my two favorite in one go: Bladesinger and Circle of the Stars 🗡️✨ I'm going to be completely honest, it's for the aesthetic. Stars are pretty...and so are wizards carrying swords.
Thank you @bhaal-battle-beer-bard for putting together this event for #MagicalMarch You can find the original post with prompts here.
Day 1: Why them? That’s why! – Show us/let us know why they are your magic spark
Some days I still ask myself this because honestly I never expected to love Rolan so damn much. I didn't like him in game until Act 3 when meeting him again at Sorceress Sundries. Even then, I didn't fall for him.
It was like Rolan Thunderwave into my heart, totally unexpectedly. Honestly, often I've said it was/is the Rolanites and Rolan fandom that made me start seeing Rolan differently, especially @wasted-sam @wasteful-sam @cursed-nyxan Rolan posts. I delved into his storyline and personality, and found I generally loved his character more than I originally thought. Eventually at some point I admitted to myself that I loved this grumpy wizard and I started feeling like I could write him. Also, often I've heard said that many of the characters we grow to cherish have something familiar in them, and often something we can relate to in ourselves. This would also be true of Rolan for me, I can see parts of myself in him too.
Though, if you are looking for a list of things I find in Rolan for him to be my magical spark, here you go (in no order):
He is dedicated to his family and keeping them safe.
He is dedicated to his work and has an inner drive to succeed.
His grumpiness is a mood I can understand.
He tries hard even when the outlook is grim, and he keeps trying.
He has freckles.
He tries his best.
He has protective big brother energy.
He is well educated and intelligent.
He made his own spells and learned magic by being self-taught.
He can be a bit overwhelming in a good way.
He speaks his mind.
His emotions get the best of him sometimes because he feels so deeply.
He understands what it's like to make one's own chosen family.
He apologizes for his mistakes.
He takes pride in himself and his accomplishments.
Though, he doesn't always have confidence in himself, he doesn't let that stop him.
He has horns, claws and a tail.
He is beautiful.
Fireworks are pretty.
He flirts when he has more confidence in himself.
Throughout the game he has character growth moments.
He saves everyone possible in Act 2 before they get to Last Light Inn in The Shadowlands.
He values life.
He cares deeply.
My brain is not giving me all the reasons but there are several more. Basically, he is the grumpy complex unique wizard I adore.
