Magician

Magicians in The Kane Chronicles are those with magical powers and trained in the methods of Egyptian mythology and magic. Magicians are members of the House of Life and are trained by them. Since the end of the Egyptian dynastic period members of the House of Life have been tasked with hunting the gods and trapping them, preventing them from having any contact with the mortal world. This is a stark contrast to previous actions by the House of Life, as they worked with the gods to better Egypt.
