![[Wizard.png|400]] [[Wizard.png|Wizard]] is a small and unique Lizard pet of [[Elric Thornbrook]], the Mayor of [[Kara's Vale]], and is kept in his office at The Town Hall. > [!scratch] > ### Wizard’s Hidden Story & Secret > > Wizard isn’t just a lizard—he was once a powerful mage who was cursed into this form long ago. > > - The mayor either found him as a lizard wearing a tiny wizard hat or was gifted him by a mysterious traveler who _warned_ that Wizard should never be removed from the town. > - Wizard remembers being a powerful spellcaster, but can only communicate in frustrated lizard noises and the occasional accidental magical spark when startled. > - If the party ever removes Wizard’s hat, it might momentarily restore some of his power, but at a comedic cost (e.g., _suddenly casting Fireball at random, making it rain frogs, or teleporting everyone ten feet to the left_). > - The wizard hat is actually an enchanted relic that lets Wizard communicate telepathically—but only with the mayor. > - At night, Wizard whispers secrets, warnings, and predictions into the mayor’s mind, subtly influencing politics in Kara’s Vale. > - He seems to know more than he should about the Black Tear shard and Hadar’s growing influence, but he only speaks to those who truly earn his trust. > - At some point, a real wizard named Lizard was transformed into a lizard. > - The mayor, misunderstanding the situation, named the lizard Wizard. > - This was incredibly frustrating to Lizard, who was stuck in a lizard body, now forced to go by the name Wizard. > - To this day, he still tries to find a way to reverse the curse, but ironically, no one believes the lizard wearing a wizard hat is actually a wizard. > - The only way to restore him is for 3 different people to say his real name three times in a row without laughing.
