Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Famous Wizards of Greyhawk

- So who are all these wizards who have spells named after them in the Players Handbook? Let's find out!
NOTE: In the early days when D&D was forming its lore, player characters were often behind the spells which had names attached to them. In the early days, the game setting for a lot of them was Greyhawk, so, that is where the majority of the spell names originate. There are a lot of famous wizards from other worlds, perhaps one day I will make videos about them as well.
Karsus 0:29
Tenser 3:01
Mordekainen 3:52
Rary 6:20
Mystal 7:55
Melf 8:51
Tasha 10:10
Leomund 11:44
Evard 12:57
Otiluke 14:00
Bigby 16:12
Drawmij 18:17
wow no Elminster
Also no Raistlin.
And no Harples
No Abi-Dalzim too
the real crime is no Fizban
In the comic strip "Nodwick", they refer to the spell "Bigby's extended middle finger"
I believe in Order of the Stick it's called Bigby's Expressive Finger
I think it was Bugsby's Expressive Single Digit.
If I was a wizard I’d make the spell “call brew” summoning a tidal wave of the drink you used as the component in the spell.
lol
My Dwarf Wizard will attempt this, a powerful spell indeed.
8'th or 9'th level at least
This clever sort ov magic is what makes people into Gods, I am just saying.
This is a great spell idea.
"I don't care if no one will ever use the spell, it has a really cool name!" - Mordenkainen
"Did I forget something?" - Rary
"Can I lend a hand?" - Bigby
LOL!
Tenser------"you wouldn't like me when i'm angry!"
Mordenkainen disjunction
epic!
"I know everything" Elminster
We had a homebrew spell called "Bigby's vibrating fist" when cast on a target such as a tree, person, or wall it would vibrate the target for one turn doing 5d6 damage and stunning any living target such as the person. Several mages could combine their spell and try to weaken a castle wall for siege damage. Wal really fun to cast it on a person and shake them out of their armor or see the contents of their bags shake onto the ground. Yes we were about 12 when naming the spell.
I really appreciate that you dive into the Greyhawk lore. Greyhawk is my favourite setting and its been really neglected since 2008 and the end of Living Greyhawk.
Daleksaresupreme1 greyhawk is the birth realm of d&d, it will NEVER die!
Greyhawk is like a club that only some of us can say we have been.
I started as an adult in 1979, definitely a member of Greyhawk.
First D&D TH-camr I've heard to mention Discworld. You won my affection.
Mordenkainen can get a cameo in _Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus_ - by befriending a bearded devil who suffered a brain injury that turned him chaotic good, he will lead you to a great plane-hopping tower where the archwizard resides, and you can meet him. However, Mordenkainen himself is hiding safely in the heart of the tower to avoid Zariel's assassins, so you only meet a simulacrum of him. Still, it talks and acts exactly as he would, right down to his belief in The Balance.
In that situation, if any PCs mentioned anything about redeeming Zariel in order to liberate Elturel, Mordenkainen would immediately try to dissuade them from doing so, and to choose another method. Of course, he wouldn't actively try to stop them if they choose to remain on that course.
I recently finished reading all the “Wizards Three” articles by El Greenwood where Mordikanin, Elmanister, and the drow Wizard from Krynn/dragonlance would meet in his home ant talk magic. And it seems what all archwizards have in common is that pompous arrogance and self-importance for sure no matter the world or fun background. Woe be the day if a humble one is ever uncovered. But I guess it fits with the whole, “Scholarly know-it alls that can break reality” motif of wizards.
Oh my god, I have to get my hands on this immediately.
The humble ones accomplish as much without anyone knowing
Dalamar
"So are you going to cast arcane shredder on that Orc guardi-"
"*AHEM*"
"Ugh..I'm not going to attach your name to every spell you tweak, Bolcar"
"Then no Bolcar's arcane shredder for you. Shred your own orcs using your own arcane energies. OH WAIT YOU DONT HAVE ANY"
Melf was played by Gygax's son and due to a crime against nature he committed in a game was condemned by the elven council to sing a poem about how much he loved trees every day after awaking from trance
Song of Reverence
I'm a good friend of the wizard Nystul (misspelled Mystal in the timestamp post). He is quite a wonderful person.
I personally Love Mages/Wizards/Sorcerers etc.. and this was fabulous! Thank you for putting it all together. Keep up the great work! :D
Most welcome!
I didn't know until recently that Melf was actually Luke Gygax's character.
Sweet sweet learnings :)
Yep. Melf had to sing a song about how much he loved trees due to a crime against nature Melf committed during a game
Love how much effort is put into every video, can tell there is love put into these. Thanks again
I only give what I get back :)
"... he is willing to enforce his will upon others in the name of lore..."
So basically this magician is a slave to the plot...
I remember playing in The World of Greyhawk campaign setting when I was a teenager.
My imagination never soared higher.
Great video, thank you !!!
Most welcome!
I'm running a campaign in the Greyhawk setting next month
My friend and I split Greyhawk in half. He was the DM for the Western map and I got the East.
Vecna was my original BBEG
Love these. They've become a new obsession. Just putting it on in the background and letting it auto play while I draw is perfect. Can't wait for your Genasi video:D
So... wizards are constantly discussing 42? Another great vid! Was a bit surprised to not see a few wizards, but they didn't have spells named after them! KEEP IT UP!
O-Earth. and Moderkainen predates Elminster by nearly a decade, being one of Gary Gygax original characters, first from the Citadel of Six, then the Circle of Eight.
Loved the bit about Tenser also being the creator of the cone of cold 🥶 🤘
Tasha is easily one of my favorite NPC characters in any fantasy setting, ever! I very much look forward to the day when she has het own video (hint hint!) :) Rary is pretty awesome too! Rary The Traitor is one of my favorite modules. Its my all-time favorite outside of the Ravenloft setting.
Could you make a video about the biggest and baddest villains of D&D history?
Well, I just talked about one of them. Did you mean just the mortal, humanoid villains, or did you include Vecna and Cyric and such in there?
AJ Pickett I think he means anyone that would be world breaking if they so chose and at least once mortal.
Like Bane?
Basically everyone
Evil spellcasters and liches, warlords, evil gods and fiends, legendary dragons and various other monsters with their own distinct personality and backstory.
A rogues gallery. hmmmm.... *makes notes*
Is there a chance of a part 2 that covers the famed mages of other settings? Elminster, Raistlin Majere, Strahd von Zarovich, etc... ?
Yes. This video is actually far more popular than I ever expected it would be.
Man I grew up on dragon lance books. Raistlin was an awesome character
Is Strahd a wizard though? He has powers but I thought it was due to his vampirism and his rulership of his domain on the Demiplane of Dread
Kelbon blackstaff?
@@nicholasmangialardi1618 - his fall was tied to the discovery and use of a Necromantic tome. And his existence as a vampire has been replete with the study and mastery of powerful necromantic spells. He's a Necromancer with a background as a soldier.
Man, you're really inspiring me to throw one of these wizards into my game as a quest-giver, or something.
Such as... PC, you have a friendship with this hermit by the name of Drawmij, perhaps he could lend you some sort of aid with this predicament you're in... if he isn't too busy with his obsessions.
And then only provide magical help in the form of unusual items granting a spell he was (secretly) known for creating.
The people I play with would never have heard of half these wizards, which makes it an even better resource to use.

Macros the Black and Elminster ask Raistlin to be silent while the grown ups talk. No im kidding love your comment.
Fun fact: Drawmij is the name of his player written backwards, TSR alum Jim Ward - who also created the Metamorphosis Alpha game/ setting.
Really cool vid!!! I look forward to your weekly contributions! Greyhawk for life!!!
Melf was just the character's sex and race: M Elf for Male Elf.
Melf's wife would then be Mrs. Male Elf?
Gregory Floriolli you're probably right.
Saw an interview with one of Gygax's sons and apparently Melf was based on one of his early characters gaming with his dad. Apparently all of his kids are somewhere in the games lore!
AJ Pickett He is right,that was done deliberatly 😁
@@GringatTheRepugnant Wouldn't Melf's wife just be called Felf? :)
I’m glad you mentioned Karsus. Although I wish we had so much more. I’m building a campaign around him. We need a stat block!!!!
Wow, You want anyone to FIGHT Karsus?
eeeee...
kapitan19969838 Well, yeah. But he isn’t your average guy. It’s also in 3.5.
@@insidethemachine Yeah, exactly. He IS NOT an average guy; far from it. I'm curious, how do You imagine a fight between a group of ragtag adventurers and Lord Karsus himself?
kapitan19969838 The campaign is actually to stop him from being resurrected. I just want the stats in case they don’t prevent it.
I could listen to dnd lore for ages. I hope there was a tvshow like game of thrones, that shows all the lore of dnd from wizards, dieties, outer plains, far realm....oh how I wish there was .....
It will happen, maybe not in the form we expect.. some sort of VR environment maybe?
FANTASTIC legendary wizard review/info!!!
Thank you kindly!
Leomund’s secret chest is quite possibly the best wizard spell. It has saved my skin more times than I can count.
Have you considered tackling psionics?! That would be cool.
First time viewer. Long time Realms fan. Love your name.
Thanks Dale, your name is on point for the setting as well :)
Awesome! I was just thinking "who is bigby? who are the other guys?" Good video to satisfy that curiosity. Never heard of you before, but glad I have now
Lesser-known creations of Mordenkainen include a gift to Baba Yaga.
"THE BEARDED STAFF! It lets you fly!"
very cool video!!! some of these deserve their own video
Very true, the story of Iggwilv and the many adventures of Mordenkainen would keep me busy for a few days of research.
This came at the perfect time! Im currently writing a Mage University campaign inspired partly by Harry Potter and The Kingkiller Chronicles. Now I have excerpts for ‘history class’
Excellent! Sounds like a fun game.
If you haven't checked out his other videos on wizards, you definitely should take a look as they give great ideas for how such a university might appear. Also if your campaign is placed in Toril, Volothamp Geddarm make an excellent stand-in for Gilderoy Lockhart. Who I'd assume be teaching at the university purely as a publicity stunt to sell his latest book, haha!
OOoo great idea! Volo would be perfect for that.
Gromph from the underdark
I was going to say Gromph Beanre as well....
On his other videos of CR for various things... he mentions so many things, so many persons, even Elminster..... but zero mention of Gromph Baenre?
I wonder if he has a secret, underlying dislike for the Archmage?
This was a awesome video AJ
kiara sanders thanks :)
Rary being one of the only wizards to have created a spell that can be cast in the same round as another spell. Rary's Superior Spell Enhancer. Greyhawk Adventures p128, Wizards Spell Compendium p730
Thank you Hexus!
Aj, was it just me or were there others asking for this video? Thanks for making it btw, it was great.
The requests just go into a physical note book I keep close by, and I grab it and choose what to do next, most of the time it is one of the suggestions from the comments community, but yeah, I lose track of exactly who asked for what or when, there are a LOT of requests :)
I know it's not THE most important thing in the world (or in the video, for that matter), but I think that Oerth should be pronounced to sound almost like "Earth", but still be different. :)
I love your lore videos, they're proving quite useful for a beginner GM like me. Keep rockin'!
Gary gygax looks exactly like what i expect someone of his ... uh "temperment" to look like
AJ Pickett please keep adding to the finest of D&D video libraries..Sam Witwer played a great Mordenkainen with The Waffle Crew In Curse of Strahd =D
Oh man I would love to play that character, though Gary took his original character details with him, as is fitting.
your'e right this is easy listening i love it. i also like how you dont get all judgy with details or things you might not like.. but hey whats not to like! nice work, im new
Otiluke was so in love with bubbles you cannot convince me he's anything more than Spongebob playing a D&D character.
im a fan of taern "thunderspells" hornblade and how he uses potions of longevity to live a long time
I need a full video devoted to the awesomeness of Iggwilv
Had to go back and listen to you say "decades" because I heard Dickheads the first few times haha
When you get the chance, do one like this for all the Forgotten Realms famous wizards! :)
There's also the level 0 spell "Bigby's insulting hand"
I'd love to hear more about Rary. He was another early D&D character. He had a kingdom in the Brightlands (I think) in 3e.
This was a fun video I like the idea of just hero lore videos like the famous characters of the creators of this the best game ever made
There's some junk in the script of Planescape Torment that suggests that bigby is one of the nameless ones previous incarnations. Crazy right
Wizard is my favorite class, so hearing about several of the original archmages, especially those who were to some degree played by the founders of the game, is great! Not to crap on any that were just made as NPCs, or authors' self-inserts; I write those up in between campaigns regularly, but it's cool to see those who actually experienced the game; the events of whom were conducted by a Dungeon Master, and the results of dice, and role-playing, instead of just the power of the pen to say "because I wrote it that way!" It's also fun how some Wizards can literally change their worlds, but their spells are what survive them, and keep them living on in our memory.
I sometimes look at spells with their creator's name in it, and wonder what provoked them to make it? It might be a spell you can only cast once, and so you never even got to enjoy it, or cast it to be certain that it worked. One of my own favorite such 2e spells was Mycontil's Last Resort. Basically, it works like the retributive strike of a staff of power, but in 9th level spell form, converting all of your remaining spell slots into energy, and blasting you, and everything around you, in a monumental explosion. You just die, and are obliterated, do you probably aren't coming back, and everyone else takes a boatload of damage, though why you'd cast this spell when you still have numerous spell slots left I don't know. To dip vack into FRCS, I also liked several Elminster spells, but was particularly fond of Larloch's devastate undead, which obliterated one of his minions, of which he had plenty, and regained him health, which undead can now find tricky to do, in 5e.
Yeah, Larloch is one hell of a lich, the Sage had some experience with him.
Can you cite a source for the bit about Tenser inventing cone of cold? Not doubting, would just love to see it. Thank you! Great video
No Elminster, no Raistlin Majere, no Jallarzi Sallavarian, and the list of "the forgotten" continues.
Raistlin is in Kryn, Elminster is in the Forgotten Realms, not sure the other Wizard…. This particular list is Greyhawk so they wouldn’t be there.
@@VikingMale Jallarzi Sallavarian is Greyhawk and the most powerful female caster. And he started by saying "One wizard who everyone who plays in the setting of the Forgotten Realms should know is Kasus." 0:25
Greyhawk is no in the Forgotten Realms. So his title was just click bait.
I imagine Bigby started making those handy spells while he was going through puberty. Someone should introduce him to Howard from Big Bang theory next time he’s on earth. I’m sure they could share a story or two💁🏻♂️
Bigby's badly animated lady bumps.
The way I pronounce Oerth is like "or Earth" run together as a single syllable - Orth
Great video! Can you do a video about famous warriors next?
You know what you have to SING when you see Bigby "BIGBYS HAND"
I know a Smelvin? He's the product of a "very" high elf, who was captive at the time Gargermel created Smurfette. But do to his coloration, markings, and magical abilities we usually thought of him more as some sort of creature of air...
some really frustrating thing in d&d is that we see all those famous wizards that prolong their lives with magic but the only option we see in games are crazy or extreme withs like lichdoom. Exalted there is the trafic of drugs that starve off old age, by half so if you take all your life you can double your lifespan and this is just the most common and cheap in the Age of Sorrows. There is ways to introduce such options without making it commonality even in high fantasy settings; there is a 3ºparty necromancy spell of the 5th circle that must be cast daily and have as component a drop of blood of a creature of young age. Even if you think of necromancy as innately evil and want to impose drawback in those circunstances, at worst the creature who's blood is used is aging in your place will lose what, one day of its lifespan? You are commiting one of your 5th levels spells but for a wizard it is acceptable in his day to day bases and it can be seen as a subtle poison, higher levels versions of it take weeks then years and finaly outright kill it to reinforce the caster's lifespan and regress aging for some years. I ordinary talented wizard toke 30 years to reach level 9, to extend his lifespan he resorted to this spell and openly present this spell to his fellows and search for voluntiers, rewarding them with a single gold coin wich is more than a commoner make in a week, for a single day of his lifespan that he will not even get to expend in such a violent world. Even if there is resistance against necromancy this spell is so harmless and tempting for wizards and those able to pay for such services, wich would be significantly powerful people, that only the more zealous of societies would be able to censor it. But slowly those wizards will become more powerful with a extended lifespan and more busy, cast it daily is a chore, so they use more powerfull versions of it, but even then days slowly slip by until finaly they are at the end of their lifes...now I ask you this, how much the life of the plebe is worth to a level 20 millenia old arcmage? Lichdoom would fall out of popularity among human wizards and the number of powerful and ancient spellcasters would increase making a interesting implication for human society. It also would be in the interest of society to keep powerful once in a generation warriors that achieve max level, they would be national assets.
Please edit your statements with paragraph format.
How to extent your character's life span. Make a really good deal with a Efreeti fire genie for a well written/ spoken out " Wish." foe an elf life span.
SO... Otiluke has a thing about.. balls? :P seriously though, epic info, sir!
Mandatory sarcastic "Well done Karsus"
We need a follow up video of greatest wizards both good and bad and in between
We do huh?
@@AJPickett indeed the wizards deserve it
You forgot Vecna
Vecna erased his name from this list.
Vecna deserves his own video and I've seen it
Great job btw
I thought vegan was a priest not a wizard.
@@codeofthewolf224 Vegan is a druid
Harkle Harpel's version of the hand spell, Bigby's thumping digit
You didn't even mention Elminster?!? 😳 Or the 7 sisters? Black staff? I'm hoping there is another famous mages?
Famous mages of Greyhawk (the original setting for D&D).
@@AJPickett - I haven't played in a while but I didn't know Karsus was in Greyhawk. I didn't know Greyhawk was in Forgotten Realms either.
@@redfaux74 guess I'll just archive the video and make another one sometime.
Pharuan mizzrym and gromph baenre
Raistlin Majere without him the list means nothing.
Amen brother..
Agreed.
Are dragonlance books still in print? Maybe op never read them as it is not a current campaign setting.
Guaranteed @AJPickett has read dragonlance.
Agreed Harold..... Very much so.....
Hey AJ! I can't find your Lore video on Halflings. Have you made one??
Not yet, they are on the list though.
"...he coined 'Leomunds Secret Chest-"

"Secret has you covered! For all day protection use Secret! (Deodorant commercial)"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥
You missed Jim Darkmagic of the newhampshire Darkmagics and his famous “Jims magic missile”
His ray of doves is also something spectacular to behold.
I play Neverwinter online, and every time I see Jim Darkmagic, I get irrationally angry, since in the game he's a tremendous douche that all of my characters want to destroy.
You're welcome and maybe you could do a infamous wizards vid when you can
Oh, there seems to be a keen interest in one, so, happy to oblige the viewers!
I would love to see your work on a warlock. I have recently joined a group in 5th edition but havent played since 1st and used to mainly play a rogue or fighter. Now trying something different with a warlock hobgoblin. I may have missed it if you have already done so but id really appreciate your time. Also your video on hobgoblins was particularily helpful for me so thankyou very much
Most welcome Troy, I have not done any more class vids yet, I am waiting to get my hands on Xanathar's Guide to Everything to explore all the new sub class options.
I honestly did not think you would see my comment, thank you! No pressure just thought id ask. Thankyou for your videos and your response, your awesome
I thought Elminster would be up there?
Greyhawk
Elminster is in the Forgotten Realms and came a decade after these wizards.
Will there be a famous sorcerers video?
WARNING: a fairly longwinded recollection of games past...
A couple years ago, in the campaign I run, the players (well, their characters) walked into a tavern to see four men arguing. Two had pointed hats, of which one of them gestured wildly with a long smoking pipe. the third was bald with a pointed black beard, a look of intense seriousness on him. He and the pipe smoker were on their feet whispering loudly and gesturing towards the last. The last was seated with a kerchief wiping away something near his mouth with one hand while holding a staff with his other. He seemed odd, with discolored skin and eyes that seemed off but, none could say exactly why (failed their perception check). Had they seen his pupals, they might have run out screaming. Words such as "Weave" and "fundamental" and "reality" were overheard. The Bard of the Player's group (a first time player only on her 4th game) knew they were all wizards though. After all, the fourth member of the group, the one studiously ignoring the argument and picking plump sausages off the plate between them all...His hat said "Wizzard". The group didn't approach, as the business of Magic made most of them a little nervous.
After that night's game, the new player asked me if that was Rincewind. She was a huge Pratchett fan. I nodded and inwardly chuckled that the other 4 members of the group, professed encyclopedias of D&D didn't pick up on anything. I made a new player giddy with laughter, though, so I call the entire scene a definite win.
Ha ha ha! Excellent, oh to be a fly on the wall in a heated debate between Elminster and Mordenkainen!
Particularly in an argument with Raistlin concerning magic and godhood :) RW, conversely, was just happy to be eating a palatable sausage.
Could you do a vid on crazy magic items?
Bob Prowers my specialty!
Otiluke the Defender.
Your info is very cool 👍Just curious, there is a super nasty brutal creature called a Braxat, would be interested in what you think if you're familiar them. Post worthy?
Brutal raiders from the world of Athas? I can have a look into them for you (added to the list)
What about Bigby's Expressive Single Digit from Rich Burlew's comic "Order of the Stick?"
Tenser's Floating Disk it functions similar to a flying carpet vut us transparent. My vard committed its xreation so she could fliat over the crowd during concerts. Also handy for a quick getaway when things turn against the adventures.
She chooses not to investigate the details of its creation because the name is cool.
What about Bigby's Pimp Hand?
Otiluke's Irresistible Dance
Thank you AJ
I have to correct you AJ, Elminster is the Forgotten realms version of Mordenkainen. Mordenkainen and The Circle of Eight came well before Greenwood had ever conceived the idea of Elminster. GreyHawk is the original Dungeons & Dragons setting.
Honestly it's whoever you knew of first that you think of... so if he knew Elminster first then Mordenkainen's came 2nd
Bigby insulting hand cantrip that forms a large glowing hand in the sky flipping people off
Damn A.J. you of all people should know its the mage you've never heard of that you need to worry about! Great vid though! Hope alls well with you kiwi! Here,have some cheese! 🧀🧀🧀
Vecna would be amazing, and youve mentioned a possible video of him in the past! Must admit, its a bit of a selfish request on my part (my game is centered around his artifacts and the buried ruins of his empire)
Vecna is coming, can't tell you when... it's a secret.
I think I can handle that. Though whenever these secrets get told, if you could, it'd be cool to hear about both before his ascension to godhood as well as the effects he left on the world after his ascension. Things like his clergy/priests, any formal temples or religions centered around him, etc etc.
Any reason why you left out Elminster? Isn't he like THE most renowned archwizard in forgotten realms, basically akin to Gandalf in LOTR?
I've heard so many references to him in various games and such, but never really knew his backstory.
TheStigma I mentioned him, but, he has no spells named after him, and that was the focus of this vid.
Elminster had two spells Elminster's Effulgent Epuration and Elminster's Evasion. :)
Heh, OK, I promise to do videos on famous wizards who don't have spells with their name on them in the 5th edition players hand book.
Should Vecna count as well? Can't think of any spells named after him, but he did sort of become a lich god, depending on the source.
Well, parts of his body became powerful artifacts, so, yeah, that counts.
Should try doing a top ten most powerful. Where Raistlin should rank very high
High… he destroyed the Kryn universe, killed the deities including Bahamut/Paladine, Tiamat/Takhisis, and then reset the timeline. When he died the hells and pits couldn’t condemn him for his crimes so they ignored him as long as he slept in the tower of high sorcery. He would literally be the most powerful mage in all of D&D.
@VikingMale Oh I agree, But there are many who say Otherwise
All of these fellows are quite slight in build, according to their height/weight stats. Makes me wonder if a) something about the creation of magical effects has an effect on one’s metabolism, or b) the creators of these individuals were all heavy-set and wanted to play people who weren’t.
Exploration was a big deal in the early days. Walking 12 plus miles a day tends to keep the weight off. Also the skinny nerd stereotype was common during that era.
Even though Cadderly the Cleric technically is a Cleric. I feel he deserves a mention considering he is a Cleric of the domain of magic.
*Domain of knowledge, there fixed it for you
Could you make a video on just elminster
OK, where to start...Karsus and Mystal are from the Forgotten Realms setting. Then you omit Zagyg, the most influental mage in Greyhawk (by far).
So is psionics in magic spells just msgic replicating psionics?
my favorite famous wizard is of course hallister blackcloak, the mad wizard and creator of undermountain.
trenton maloney oh yeah, he would have to on the list of great D&D villains
now that might be a list worth viewing.......
AJ, I'd like to see a video on either of those wizards.
