The quintessential wizard is Gandalf, in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], who is revealed to be the Maiar Olorin, an angelic being sent from the far West with a human body and the power to inspire the good people of Middle Earth to great deeds resisting the evil of Sauron. In the [[Harry Potter]] books, all males with magic powers are called wizards, but the head schoolmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, is a classic wizard who resembles Gandalf in many ways. In the science fiction Gaean Trilogy by John Varley, Cirocco Jones, although female, is the Wizard of the living world of Gaea, with powers of life and death over the Titanides.

==Wizard's Sleeve==
The phrase, Wizard's Sleeve is derivated from the loose sleeves traditionally found on a wizard's robe. In popular parlance, phrases such as Clown's Pocket or badly packed kebab have the same meaning; that is to say, that the object being described is loose and floppy.
An example of this phrase would be "after their latest gay wolfbagging session, Assfly had left Eddie-poos with an asshole like a ''wizard's sleeve''.
