The Vis mager is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in the original Dragon Quest. It is a high-ranking sorcerer in the Dragonlord's armies.
Vis magers are Prestidigitators with yellow robes that carry a golden staff topped with a red orb. They are the most powerful sorcerers in the original game, second only to the Dragonlord himself.
The vis mager first appeared as a common monster during the limited Dragon Quest I event held between September 19th, 2019 and October 24th, 2019. It can also be scouted as a recruitable monster.
Vis mager is a combination of vis major, a Latin term which means an overwhelming, unexpected, and unpreventable event usually caused by a natural disaster and mage, a term for a spellcaster.
