Magi are {{Humanoid}} spellcasters. They wear white robes with the bat insignia of the [[Children of Hargon]] on the front and a green and red triangular pattern at the ends of their sleeves, a long green cape around their necks with a red jeweled brooch, and red shoes. In their right hands, they wield a tall scepter topped with a green crystal orb. | Magi are {{Humanoid}} spellcasters wearing masks that completely obscure their faces. They wear white robes with the bat insignia of the [[Children of Hargon]] on the front and a green and red triangular pattern at the ends of their sleeves, a long green cape around their necks with a red jeweled brooch, and red shoes. In their right hands, they wield a tall scepter topped with a green crystal orb. The magi specialise in casting [[Sizz]] on their opponents. Like many other humanoid monsters in the series, they are now depicted with five fingers on their hands in modern appearances instead of four. According to their descriptions in ''IX'', the magi are formerly men who sold their souls to evil in order to acquire magic power. | ||
