“Go on…. Try me.”
When Marvin is using his “card magic”, the suits from his mask will appear on his forehead, glowing teal.
This happens to “tie his energy” to the cards in a symbolic way. Think of Marvin like a power outlet- by himself he can cast a few spells at once just fine.
However, as he needs to cast more then one at a time, that’s where his cards come in. The cards are like those power strips you plug into the outlet. Now, he has more “outlets” for his magic, allowing him to cast more spells at once!
Marvin with his “familiar”, Lizzie Jr.! (Sliiightly old drawing so sliiightly old design, aka the cloak doesn’t have its hood/cowl or the suits buttons ^^;;)
Magicians are all at the age of 18 able to summon a “familiar”. The familiar of which resembles the caster in some form, and are the most loyal companions to walk the earth.
Where Marvin is from, magicians would summon a single creature only once- a physical entity who would join them the rest of their life. Due to circumstances however, Marvin is only able to summon a ghostly “spirit” form of his familiar for extended periods of time.
Lizzie Jr. was named after Marvin’s Mentor, Elizabeth, or “Lizzie”, who was a skilled and powerful magician. Her own familiar was Merlin, a small red fox who was as cunning and clever as she was, yet also shared her gentle heart.
Marvin’s familiar represents a Fennec Fox- small, playful, energetic, loyal and almost annoyingly intelligent for its own good. Due to her spirit-like nature, she possesses an ability other familiars don’t- she can’t die.
Familiars in his area can be killed and have been for years as sport. Due to magic in his area being illegal to practice, magic creatures and magicians alike were hunted and “prized” when captured and, eventually, killed.
Lizzir Jr. (or “liz”) however, can’t be harmed or killed off. Thanks to this, Marvin has found numerous ways to include her in his shows and even his fights, using her “flames” to trap his opponent or distract them.
Their bond is unbreakable- Lizzie Jr., although a caring and friendly nature, would never come to respect or live someone as much as Marvin. And Marvin (with the exception of Jackie ;3) would never find a more loyal and outstanding companion.
