Notes:
This list is tentative and subject to change. More will included as necessary. If you are viewing a reblog, please check the original post for an up-to-date list.
The list discounts Saints and other Christian Holy Persons (such as Galahad). It also discounts characters with "superpowers" (such as Kay and Gawain). In general, the focus is on "Spellcasters"/Magic as an art or skill (Admittedly, the line is very murky).
Fairies (and Goddesses) are included due to the Medieval writers' efforts to rationalize such figures as enchantresses and sorceresses
