  1. Hedge wizard

    Unreferenced date December 2009 In fantasy literature , a hedge wizard or hedge magician is a Magician fantasy wizard of low ability, generally self taught or with a low education background as opposed to the common examples of being apprenticed to a mentor or studying though a structured educational system. Some fictional backgrounds identify them more with rural than urban backgrounds. In novels, many uses of the term are derogatory, describing a character as incompetent, uneducated, of lower social standing or of lesser power. It is similar to calling someone a hack or slob but specific to practitioners of Magic paranormal magic . In role playing game s and video game s a hedge wizard is usually a weaker wizard encountered when still at a lower level. With a limited number of spells and lacking in power they are normally easy to defeat. In the Ars Magica roleplaying game, a hedge wizard is any mages that are not of the Order of Hermes, who claims the largest monopoly on power. Discworld In the Discworld series of novels, the term hedge wizard is used to describe a wizard who specializes in the magical properties of plants. Although this does fit with the idea of a more rural wizard, it is likely to be a deliberate pun on the word Hedge gardening hedge . As it is written in the novels If you invited a hedge wizard to a party he d spend half the evening talking to your potted plant...and he d spend the other half listening to it.
