Go back in time and get Richard Harris before he passed. He's got the look and he's certainly got the acting chops.

Get his son, Jarrod to play the role.

Get W. Morgan Sheppard to play the role of McCoy, and his son Mark to play Morgan.

The plumbing might be compatible, but there would be no offspring.

yeah i had looked up necromancers and found that out, my main character is a necromancer who throws bones and calls on shades to do divination concerning, though the rules concerning undead are little different in my world.

i did not know that about sorcerers though that could be interesting.

also any gender can be any kind of magi, and non magic users can become warlocks so long as they are willing to serve a dark master. magus can be good or evil, but warlocks are the only group that is always evil.

The runes and orgham have been used by authors in the past.


Mages were fire priests from Zoroastrianism and related religions. They tended fire pits.

There is one in Yasmine Galenorn's Demon Mistress. He is a secondary character, and he is more of a shaman.

Here are some definitions:

Warlock sounds fine, as the old definition meant "liar" or "oath breaker". They could be the ones who have corrupted the ways of doing magic for evil purposes. They would be both men and women.

Sorcery, and Necromancy are types of divination/fortune telling. Sorcery is done by drawing lots, and Neromancers divine via the dead. Perhaps they use crutches, as a sorceror might have a set of runes or ogham tiles to do their magic; a necromancer might hang out in graveyards, or work in mortuaries, and draw their energy from the dead.

You are aware that gremlins were made up out of whole cloth as a propaganda exercise, yes ?

By Roald Dahl.

Nope, not completely. Look up the term "Coranied".

The "magic-users" sound too D&D/rpg-ish. The sources of magic sound fine, but they should not be so ridgid.

Here is another one, how about having one of the demons fall in love with him. This creature is not under his complete control, and it causes trouble to get his attention.

One theory about ghosts is that they are psychic recordings, perhaps he can manipulate those, or drain them of their power and use it for himself. Maybe he can lessen the effects of fear.

How about an obcessed collector who wants the rings/knowledge for their collection?

The head of a "employment agency" that deals with the supernatural creatures and people. He/she offered your hero a job, and the hero turned them down. This person doesn't take "no" for an answer, and has decided to send their best contractors after the hero.

In Jewish and Islamic legend there is a group of people called Ibdals/Abdals. There are about 70 of them in the world. They are mortal, but if one falls, another rises.

How about a person who thinks that your hero stole their rightful prize, the Rings of Solomon?
