Sprites and wizards
Magical beings are creatures with supernatural powers or origins—fairies, wizards, dragons, demons, and the like.
The term appears in fantasy fiction, folklore studies, and children's literature: The forest was home to all manner of magical beings.
It encompasses both benevolent entities like guardian spirits and malevolent ones like witches or goblins.
