Sorcerer Ra

Sorcerer Ra is a mage who lives in the third, forested level of the Trial Dungeon outside Toushin City. Known as a teacher of young mages, Sorcerer Ra can unlock one's innate magical potential in an instant, but only if they complete his arbitrary and complicated trials. Even that gift is little more than a sales technique, as Ra makes sure to charge full price for any individual spells.

Custom was one of Ra's students, and was given a trial to save a certain Sorcerer Ha from an unquenchable forest fire. He collaborated with Pal, another of Ra's applicants, to complete one another's trials. He collected the Hirami Lemon that Pal had been sent to find, and in return she gave him the tools necessary to open a nearby dam to flood the forest and rescue Ha. Ha seemed unconcerned by his rescue, andCustom left his trial wondering just how many of elements of his challenge had been pre-arranged by the crafty wizard.

Pal remarked that Ra tends to give easier trials to young women compared to other applicants. This is hardly out of the question, but as Pal may have been one of the "actors" for Custom's trial, she may be unreliable.

Trivia

 * Ra's various apprentices claim to be able to peer into other dimenions, which they use to break the fourth wall. One such comment discusses Little Princess, who was not yet a part of the Continent setting at the time, under the name "Little Vampire."
