Canon: The Magicians Character Name: Eliot Waugh / Nameless Apparent Age: 30 Actual Age: 30 / 1000+ Canon Point: Post Series, generally. Let me know if you're interested in something else!
A classically trained magician that learned at Brakebills University. Magic in the series is sourced from a Wellspring located in Fillory - a previously believed to be fictional world - that all magicians draw energy from. Spells are typically cast using a combination of spoken words and hand tutting but can have varying levels of complexity, difficulty, rules, and limits.
As one of the Physical Kids (magicians with a special discipline in physical magic), Eliot is most well known to possess telekinesis. This first manifested for him when he accidentally killed his high school bully, with a bus. Physical Kids are capable of a wide array of talents, as the magical discipline is centered around the ability to manipulate the nature and properties of matter and energy. The many disciplines that branch from this group allow Magicians to manipulate heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, gravity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
Eliot is a natural diplomatic leader, patient and even-tempered. He's a skilled negotiator and knows how to talk people into giving him what he wants, as demonstrated several times throughout the series. He talks himself out of a duel with King Idri, in which they agree on a compromise. He's naturally charismatic, impressing a number of characters throughout the series, including the Dark King, going so far as to become his confidant.
He has skills in agriculture that he'd rather forget, due to his farmland upbringing.
Even without combat training, Eliot is capable of shooting off battle magic under duress. Later, using emotion bottling, he's able to fine-tune that skill into something more focused and controlled thanks to the help of Kady and lots of training.
An offhand comment is made later in the series that Eliot has actually become proficient with a broadsword, and is now a skilled swordsman after his duel with King Idri.
Mixologist: Of course, the skill Eliot is most famous for is creating the best cocktails at Brakebills University, inventing the Physical Kids signature cocktail being one of his notable talents.
