The Magician is the first of the 22 major Arcana in a tarot deck. They appear in Asra's route, during chapter 3 of Book IX - The Hermit, whilst in Asra's gate into the deeper planes of reality, within his mind. They are "the communicator of all magical knowledge, the bridge between humanity and the infinite." They are the voice the apprentice listens to when they draw the card of the same name. Asra has also called them his mentor.
