Line 35:

Instead of providing bonus areas, the Magician now helps Rayman to solve the many problems (spelling and mathematical problems for the young player) throughout the journey. When Rayman starts a level, the Magician will give him an overview of the specific tasks he needs to do in order to complete it. After that, his hat will appear several times, and each time Rayman passes one, the Magician will either ask a new question or remind him of the level's task. At the very end of the last stage in the level, he will appear somewhere once the final task is done, and when Rayman finds him, he mostly does a different performance, such as doing a dance or rapping 90's style, while praising Rayman for what he has done.

===''Rayman Origins''===

The Magician ~~returns~~ in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He is first encountered at the beginning of the game: he is found inside his distinctive top hat, which is sitting on the ground outside [[the Snoring Tree]]. Each time one of the players jumps on the hat, the Magician offers a few words of advice. The hat appears in many places throughout the game, and the players can jump on it at any time for tips relevant to their current situation. At the end of each level, he is seen holding a test tube which he uses to count the number of [[Yellow Lum]]s collected by the players. Certain numbers of Yellow Lums will unlock further Electoon [[cage]]s. In these post-level screens, the Magician can be seen fully: he is revealed to be a ~~teensy~~ rather than a member of Rayman's species, and his hair is grey rather than blonde.

The Magician makes his first chronological appeareance in the prequel game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

After a certain number of events, Rayman and his friends discover that the Magician was [[Mr Dark]] the whole time, and he was using the energy taken from the Lums that he took from Rayman to produce energy for his steampunk empire.
