特徴 | Characteristics | |
---|---|---|
魔法に魅入られた者で、既に魔法が体の原動力となっている妖怪が、魔法使いである。 | One who has become possessed by magic, such that one's body itself is powered by magic; this type of youkai is known as a magician. | |
魔法の研究を生業とし、日々新しい魔法の事を考えている。 | Their livelihood revolves around magical research, spending their days thinking about new spells. | |
妖怪の中では最も人間に近い。 | Among youkai, they are the most similar to humans. | |
魔法使いには二種類あって、生まれながらにして魔法使いである者と、人間が魔法使いになる者がいる。 | There are two types of magicians: those who were born as magicians and humans who became magicians. | |
完全な魔法使いになった時点で成長(老化)が止まる(*1)。 | At the point when they completely become magicians, their growth (aging) stops (*1). | |
生まれながらの魔法使いも、最初から魔法が使えるだけで人間と同じように成長、老化し、寿命を迎える。 | Those who were born as magicians, from the start, are only able to use magic, and just like humans, they grow, age, and have a limited lifespan. | |
それ故に |
Then, when they learn "abandon worms" magic (*2), they become long-lived, complete magicians. | |
元が人間の場合は、魔法の修行を続け、 |
In the case of those who were originally human, in continuing their study of magic, it is when they learn "abandon food" magic (*3) that they become magicians. | |
後は普通の魔法使いと同じである。 | After that, it's the same as for normal magicians. | |
いずれにしても、魔法使いという種族になるにはかなり時間が掛かる。 | In any case, becoming a member of the magician race takes quite a bit of time. | |
それまでの時間は人間と同じ様に成長し続ける為、一般的に魔法使いや魔女は老人が多い。 | Since they continue to grow old like humans up until that point, in general there are many aged wizards and witches. | |
だが、幻想郷では魔法の研究が進んでおり、魔法の習得も容易である。 | However, in Gensokyo, magical research is more advanced and learning magic is simple. | |
だから、幻想郷では若い(幼い)魔法使いも少なくない。 | Thus, there are more than a few young (childish) magicians in Gensokyo. | |
姿は人間と区別は出来ない。 | There's no way to tell them apart from humans by their appearance. | |
体は殆ど人間と同じで、他の妖怪に比べると脆弱である。 | Their bodies are nearly the same as humans', so they are frail in comparison to other youkai. | |
一般に頭が良く、知識も豊富で勉強家であるが、家の中に引きこもりがちである。 | They're generally intelligent, studious people with a lot of knowledge, but they tend to be hikikomori and not leave their homes. | |
被害内容 | Potential Harm | |
生け贄、盗難、誘拐、詐欺 | Sacrifice, Theft, Abduction, Fraud | |
特に被害が大きいのが家畜泥棒である。 | The most likely cause of harm is theft of livestock. | |
生きた家畜は大きな魔法の使用に欠かす事が出来ず、魔法使いの間では深刻な家畜不足に悩まされているらしい。 | Living livestock is necessary for large-scale magic, and it seems there is a serious livestock shortage among magicians. | |
他にも、酒類を始めとする食料や、月の石など珍品が盗難に遭いやすい。 | In addition, they often steal food and drink (especially liquor), and curios such as moon rocks. | |
酷い時は幼児が攫われたりする事もある(*4)。 | At worst, they might even steal children (*4). | |
また、その手品の様な魔法を使って、詐欺行為を働く事もある。 | Also, they can use magic which is similar to sleight of hand and commit fraud. | |
魔法にはお金が掛かるのか、どうにかして資金を調達しようとしているのである。 | Perhaps performing magic requires money, but they will take any means necessary to raise funds. | |
道ばたで、いかがわしい手品グッズを売っていたりしたら要注意だ。 | Be particularly cautious if you see someone selling shady magic props on the roadside. | |
対処法 | Countermeasures | |
魔法使いを信用しない事が最も重要である。 | The most important thing is to not trust magicians. | |
幸い、相手の身体能力は高くなく人間並みなので、逃げるのは簡単である。 | Fortunately, their bodies are only about as strong as that of an ordinary human, so running away is simple. | |
準備が十分である魔法使いは、如何なる妖怪でも歯が立たないくらい強い。 | A magician who is properly prepared is so strong that they can take on any kind of youkai. | |
だが、不意打ちに弱く、さらに接近戦、長期戦も苦手である。 | However, they are weak to surprise attacks, and are not good at close combat or lengthy conflicts. | |
一番の基本は魔法使いの罠に掛からないように注意し、相手のテリトリー内に入らない様にする事。 | The most fundamental thing is to be careful not to fall into a magician's trap, which will not happen without entering their territory. | |
もし踏み込んでしまった場合は、すぐに逃げるか、思い切って近づいてみるのが良いだろう。 | If you happen to do so, your best options are either to immediately run away or to boldly approach them. | |
*1 自分に若返りの魔法を掛け続ける者もいるが……。 | 1: There are those who repeatedly cast magic to restore their youth, but... | |
*2 成長を止める魔法。自分にしか使えない。 | 2: Magic to stop one's growth. It can only be used on oneself. | |
*3 食事を取らなくても、魔力で補えるようになる魔法。自分にしか使えない。 | 3: Magic that allows you to compensate for not eating food via magic power. It can only be used on oneself. | |
*4 幼児はそのまま魔法使いの弟子になってしまう事もある。 | 4: Sometimes the children become the magicians' apprentices. |
