Mage of the Lapis Circle

The myth

For the Egyptians, magic, heka, was a real force that let the gods act and let humans commune with them; the god Heka was its personification, and physicians were called priests of Heka. Among the protective symbols was the shen, a knotted loop of rope forming an unbroken ring that stood for completeness, infinity and protection. The Mage of the Lapis Circle, who draws blue circles on the ground that nothing can cross, is a MYTHENOR creation inspired by these symbols.

Why it has this power

An uncommon level 5 Spellcaster of Light with 1700 ATK and 1600 DEF, nearly balanced, like a circle. Sun beats Moon and Fox beats Hammer. With the Lapis Serpent Staff, +700, it reaches 2400 ATK and 2300 DEF, a true wall of magic.

Did you know

The god Heka was depicted carrying a staff entwined with two serpents.
