court wizard
Palace magic advisor
A court wizard is a magic-wielding advisor attached to a royal household, a stock figure in fantasy fiction and role-playing games.
The court wizard counsels the monarch, provides magical protection, and handles supernatural threats to the realm: The court wizard warned the king against the alliance.
The role suggests both privileged access and precarious dependence on royal favor.
