The Lore of Magus Zane of the Marsh

Magus Zane was always considered an odd duck in the wizarding world. No familiar, no rune, no hair either. And a nose redder than Rudolph the Reindeer's during peak allergy season. He also has a very peculiar dress style: always all white, all the time, which is probably why he never gets invited to weddings anymore. Zane has always had a hard time with the whole socializing thing...he doesn't understand other people, they don't understand him, and generally he prefers a solitary existence in his little hut in the marsh with no one and nothing to disturb him. Life is simpler and more peaceful that way, he has found.

Unlike most wizards, who are constantly obsessed over finding new ways to use their magic to burn, electrocute, petrify, or poison their enemies, Zane is a complete pacifist. He abhors violence of all sorts, and to date has never killed a living thing of any kind, not even a plant. He meets his daily caloric needs from a spell he invented that conjures food out of thin air. He probably could end world hunger in a single stroke if he shared this spell with the larger wizarding community, but the thought of using his magic to solve profound social problems never even occurred to him. Zane has always lived in his own little world, and that's just the way he likes it.

Magus Zane could also tell the future. He is one of the Forgotten Runes' leading experts in divination magic, which is likely the reason he has always had a difficult time interacting with others...it's hard to relate to people living in a mere three dimensions when your mind is constantly crossing over to the fourth. For Zane, past, present, and future are just as integral and natural to his perceptions as left and right, front and back. Other more ambitious wizards might use this ability to win the lottery, or avert a looming catastrophe of some sort, but so far, Zane has mostly used his divination for conveniences like bringing an umbrella in advance when he knows it's going to rain while he's out, or packing an extra lunch when he foresees a seagull zooming down from the sky to swipe the one he will eat later that day.

One day, maybe Zane's extraordinary abilities will be discovered by the outside world, during which time he will probably be dragged into machinations of the extremely troublesome variety against his will...but for now, he's perfectly content living the most boring life of any wizard in the Runiverse.
