The Roman Magus was a powerful
human wizard in ancient
Rome and an advisor to
Caesar Augustus, Rome's first Emperor (27 B.C. - A.D. 14). This "Original Magus" was the author of the
Grimorum Arcanorum. At Augustus' behest, and combining several magical artifacts to do it, he cast a
Spell of Humility over the entire
gargoyle species that caused their clothes to turn to stone with them during their
stone sleep, a spell which lasts to this very day.
The Roman Magus was the first person to combine the Grimorum Arcanorum with the Eye of Odin and the Phoenix Gate, a feat later repeated by the Archmage.[1]
Tidbits
Presumably, the Roman Magus would appear in the TimeDancer spin-off at some point.
When asked about the amazingly powerful Humility Spell, and how the Roman Magus was able to achieve it, Greg Weisman joked that he "must have had the backing of ALL of Rome's Standard's and Practice's Executives". [2]
