A history of magicians.

Magicians have excited in human society ever since the beginning of human civilization.  Magicians lived in Sumer, Egypt, Babylon and all the ancient kingdoms, the greatest of the old magi are: King Gilgamesh (2630-2504 BC), Se-osiris, and Egyptian wizard, who destroyed the monster Ba, King Solomon used the Key of Solomon,his magic tome, to banish demons from Israel, and Zoltan of Urkosett (150-97 BC), a very powerful sorcerer, who made the Staff of Curses.  Magicians really started to gain fame during the early middle ages, with the wizard Merlin in Britain who's famous for many things, including the forging of Excalibur and writing the Book of Merrlyn, Baba Yaga in Russia, the alchemist Paracelsus (1493-1541 AD) in Austria who advanced the study of the Philosopher's Stone, Tictallic the Black (1463-1519), who wrote the Sun Codex, in Central America, Wise wolf the One-eyed (1600-1700) in North America.  The greatest mages of today remain to be Grigori Rasputin (1859-  ), a powerful sorcerer who made himself a liche, so he does not die of age, and Theopolis J. Gibson (1746-1833) who played a key role in the American Revolution.  Though magicians usually learned through the master-apprentice system, magic schools have become popular over the last century.  Another thing that has changed are wizard robes, which in the 1800s were replaced by formal suits, but in the 1970s, T-shirts and jeans are the new robes.  The three most prominent schools in America and Europe are: Oakbrook University in Massachusetts, Faeriebarrow Academy in Britain, and Secreti Mundi Ludus: the academy of the learning of ancient spellcraft, in Rome.
