Rincewind, from the Discworld series, only knows one spell. And that's only on an unconscious level. It has the power to turn the world upside down. For me, he's still the best wizard of all.Gizmo1990 said:
Not because of his magical abilities...but because he can escape the Dungeon Dimensions armed only with a sock full of sand.
I think he should count. Also seriously. He managed to replace a city that was probably as big as any major city of today with a big hole in the ground while not using his power to attack it. When the effects of the surroundings of where it can be used are that vast I think he qualifies to be one of the best.tippy2k2 said:
Sauron.
Even mighty Gandalf trembled when Big "S" name was spoken. And yea, he is a wizard.
Also : Bigby. Dem Fistz of Fury and their unconventional usage...

Zedd from the Sword of Truth series.He is actually one of my favorite characters of all time.He always seems to have a trick up his sleeve. I wasn't to found of him in The Omen Machine though.
I'm not really invested in wizards all that much, but I guess Miraculix is my favorite because I love the art.
Is this really a contest? It's Rincewind from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.Gizmo1990 said:

Hmm, I've always thought the Harpells where a hilarious lot to have around, though not sure if they'd fit under best wizard. So, with Gandalf being the obvious first place, I'll put Raistlin Majere in second. I mean, he's so awesome Blind Guardian has a song for him.
^ this guy wins. /threadVhite said:
Dumbledore is by far the most powerful wizard in fiction, let's be honest, gandalf doesn't do much magic. he sets some pine-cones on fire and makes beams of light that may or may not cause damage to what they hit. Not that impressive. He's more of a facilitator than a wizard, his main awesomeness comes from bringing people together to work for the same cause.
On the other hand, Kvothe is just absolute pure win. He can play a lute with 2 broken stings, he's smart enough to become functional in a language in a day and a half, he can split his mind into 8 distinct parts in order to work on 8 problems at once.
As he says:
"My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.
But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant "to know."
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me."
Damn Rincewind ninjas! He's the best wizard to have a whole sequence of wild adventures while knowing only one spell, which he could not even remember.
I also love Asterix' druid. But he's a druid, that's a whole other class. His Hit Dice is d8 =P

Gandalf is the wielder of the Flame of Anor. He single-handedly beats the Flame of Udûn Balrog. And you tell me he doesn't wield much magic??spartan231490 said:
