evil sorcerer

Malevolent spell-caster

An evil sorcerer is a stock character in fantasy fiction and folklore—a magic user who wields supernatural powers for malevolent purposes.

The phrase evokes robed villains in dark towers, casting curses and commanding dark forces: The evil sorcerer had cursed the kingdom.

In games and stories, evil sorcerers typically serve as antagonists the hero must defeat.
