Naming a half-elf wizard
A half-elf wizard carries half-elf naming tradition into the wizard's calling. Half-elf names sit between two worlds: the flowing vowels of elven naming softened by the plainer, grounded sounds of human tradition. The result feels familiar and slightly exotic at once. A wizard — a scholar who bends reality through study and formula — tends toward learned, slightly formal names that suit the spine of a spellbook. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
