Child Mage	comment	The main magic user in the game or story happens to be the youngest person in the group. Possibly because the story writer wants to have a character that young for comic or dramatic effect (or just for sheer cuteness) and can't imagine said character being proficient in a sword or other conventional weapons, so they let them summon meteors with their mind. It also provides a convenient justification for keeping the mage squishy; they don't have the raw strength to move around in heavy armor. In any case, the implication is that either magic is just that easy, or they're just that good. There's also the old standby that children have more magic potential than adults, presumably tied to their imagination/innocence/not-being-attached-to-the-mundane. As such, there's always a chance of Growing Up Sucks for a mage, as they may lose some of their power (or power growth) upon reaching adulthood. This trope extends towards the Little People sometimes, as well, considering many have a child-like appearance (or even mannerisms). Just don't say that to the dwarves. See also Tyke-Bomb, which is not necessarily a magic user, and Squishy Wizard, which a Child Mage is almost guaranteed to be, or Magical Girl, when a Child Mage is a cute little girl with fancy magic and outfits, or Cute Bruiser, when the character actually does have physical prowess instead of magic, despite their size, and Goo-Goo-Godlike, for a character even younger (specifically, they are infants) and more precocious than the Child Mage. Compare Teen Genius for the sci-fi equivalent. If they have psychic abilities instead of magic it's Psychic Children.

Child Mage / int_2192aeb3	comment	The Fire Emblem series has many mages that are children. Lugh in Binding Blade is about thirteen, and his adult support partners express surprise or dismay that a child like him is on the battlefield until he points out he's not much younger than Kid Hero Roy. (Lugh's twin Raigh is also a magic user, but he avoids getting those comments thanks to his "jerk facade" while Lugh is kind and cheerful.) Nino in Blazing Sword is fourteen, but her appearance and personality strongly evoke this trope too—she's a kindhearted, cheerful, lonely girl who's starved of affection from her "mother" and treats the other members of her organization as elder brothers (except Jaffar, who's a potential love interest). She also has major Magikarp Power and is indicated to be a magic prodigy in her support conversations, which is why she was abducted and raised by a group of assassins. Ewan from Sacred Stones is an apprentice, not even part of the full-fledged mage class, and he starts as the weakest spellcaster in the game, but if you spend the effort to train him... Also Subverted in Radiant Dawn with two of the most important mages, Soren and Micaiah. they're both products of breeding between the two species, meaning they age slower. By the end of the second game, they're both in their twenties while still appearing to be in their mid-teens. Empress Sanaki and Tormod before he grew up, however, fit this trope. The twins Yubello and Yumina, a mage and cleric respectively are, at 13-14 years old, the youngest party members you can have in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. Ricken from Awakening certainly evokes the trope. Although his age is never given, he is the youngest member of Chrom's Shepherds, looks like a kid, and is treated as the kid of the group even though he is of marriageable age. This can be somewhat amusing as it is possible that his child from the future will look older than him.

Child Mage / int_2b12151	comment	Played around with in The Candy Shop War. While all the actual magicians are grown-ups (and nearly all are Really 700 Years Old, because nearly every magician knows how to freeze aging and it takes a while to learn magic), magic is much stronger when used on or by children, and it is all but impossible to reverse non-magical aging. For that reason, mages can grant tremendous power to children but not use it themselves. The plot of the first book hinges on this catch-22, as the villainess is trying to acquire a drink from the Fountain Of Youth. The combination of childish power and adult knowledge makes her a Physical God.

Elize from Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 is the youngest member of the group at age 12 (13 in the sequel). Her magical prowess stems from the fact that her living doll Teepo is actually a booster; a device that increases one's combat capability at the expense of their lifespan.

When she is introduced in book four, House of Chains, she is a young girl with magical talent who has allied herself with a troop of soldiers in order to avenge her family. Kalam immediately notices how she seems a bit off but explains it away by her losing her family and everyone assumes she'd get better once she is reunited with her brother. Sinn quickly grows in her power and is attached to the Bonehunters as a mage, partly because she refuses to part with her brother. Unfortunately, she turns out to be completely insane and it is later revealed that her latent magical abilities were awakened when she was raped. In the last book, she turns on her allies in search of ever more power and has to be killed by the two people who manage to look past the fact that she is still a child.

And since she has both wizard and witch magic feeding off each other, she's able to do things adult wizards and witches can't. A much more extreme example occurs in Sourcery with Coin, who is not only a wizard, but the most powerful one since the mage wars thousands of years ago because Coin is a sorcerer, which effectively gives him an infinite amount of magical energy, unlike ordinary wizards who have to work with the background magic field. Being around Coin (or on the same world as him) makes all the wizards a lot more powerful as they can use the magic he constantly leaks into the world. Tiffany Aching becomes a witch at the age of nine. Parodied with a throwaway comment in The Discworld Companion to the effect that there is officially no minimum age requirement to matriculating at Unseen University, but these days few new students are still clutching a toy lamb.

The campaign starts with the player character finishing his/her Harrowing, marking him/her as an adult and fully-fledged mage, but is noted to be young to be taking the Harrowing, and is almost certainly the youngest member of the party aside from perhaps Alistair, whose mother met king Maric in 9:10 Dragon, making him 18 or 19 during the siege of Ostagar. Arl Eamon's son Connor is a straight example. As a very young mage, he can barely cast simple spells, but is just as capable of not so accidentally tearing the Veil to the Fade (the realm of demons, spirits, and dreams) as any other mage.

Child Mage / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons both inverts this trope and plays it straight in 3rd edition - of the two major arcane spellcasting classes, wizards have the highest minimum starting age while sorcerers have the lowest. The idea being that Wizards gain their power through countless years of study, while Sorcerers have an innate gift, and so can cast magic at a much younger age. Eberron has pope Jaela Daran, the eleven-year-old girl who is the head of the Church of the Silver Flame. She's a 3rd-level cleric (which is by itself pretty impressive for an eleven-year-old) on her own merits... but when communing with the Silver Flame, she's one of the most powerful spellcasters in the setting. The Mystara setting used these in The Principalities of Glantri, a supplement describing a nation ruled by wizards. Because only wizards can inherit noble titles in Glantri, magic-user families teach their kids to cast spells at extremely young ages, so if their parents should die prematurely, the title will stay within the family. And one B-list schemer described is one of these, a necromancer with a level beyond his age. It is noted that treating him as a child is a very bad idea. Also, if using the rules as found in The Principalities of Glantri, young children casing spells have a chance of causing a spell misfire, some of the suggested effects causing effects over a mile radius.

Child Mage / int_9d47a2a2	comment	This is deconstructed in A Song of Ice and Fire with the character Bran Stark. At seven years old he's the most talented skinchanger in the world, capable of taking over the consciousness of other humans while other skinchangers can only manage to control animals. However, despite being a basically good person, Bran lacks the emotional maturity to use his powers wisely or understand how they hurt others, particularly his mentally handicapped companion Hodor. Bran, having lost the use of his legs, likes to use Hodor's body as a substitute for his own. He justifies it to himself like a typical seven-year-old boy might talk himself into "borrowing" his brother's bicycle, but for Hodor it's an absolutely horrifying experience. It's also implied that the ritual that unlocks his full greenseer powers is Blood Magic that's Powered by a Forsaken Child, a level of moral compromise that Bran is most definitely not prepared for. Bran's little brother, Rickon, is in a similar, yet different, pickle. Bonding with a direwolf at the age of three-almost-four... has problems attached. As in: (Canis Major + Accidentally Isolated Tot)(Stress + Loss) = 2(RAGE). Many people get mauled/killed by the two berserkers working in tandem. Now, remember that regular wolf puppies go through puberty after only several months, so direwolves might be only a touch slower... Yeah: at about the age of five, Rickon is having to deal with Shaggydog's maturation into young adult as they practically share each other's skulls 24/7. Nobody at Winterfell has the first clue how to bring a warg and their Bond Creature up together healthily, let alone with this age complication in the mix. In return, the developmentally maturer Shaggy is left more or less having to babysit Rickon from the inside to a great extent since the war started... thus, Wild Child. The power dynamic between the two is about as messed-up and confused as the pair is. If they're lucky, the Skagosi they may have been sent to by Osha know more about bringing up skinchangers than even most Free Folk.

Zedd refrains from teaching Richard magic so that Richard will default to his instincts, which seem to be magically augmented by being a War Wizard and honed so that he was worthy of being named Seeker. It turns out to be justified; the conventional understanding of how magic works turns out to be limited, Richard has more powers than anyone in the last several thousand years and he accesses those powers in a different way. If anyone had explained their understanding of the limits of magic, he'd have doubted himself in critical moments and been unable to use his power.

Final Fantasy XIII: Hope, once he is given his l'Cie powers, is statistically oriented to become the party's Squishy Wizard. He is the only character in the game to learn every offensive spell. Alphinaud and Alisaie in Final Fantasy XIV are about sixteen years old and are the youngest members of the Scions. Both of them are powerful Arcanists, but their fighting styles change by the Stormblood expansion; Alphinaud further refines his class, allowing him to summon a more powerful Carbuncle that boosts the party's attack power while Alisaie becomes a Red Mage where she mixes magic with sword fencing. There's also Taynor the boy mage you rescue on the Shadowbringers expansion pack who wields some elemental magic and can open and close Unrealistic Black Holes. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The party members are all depicted as youngsters no older than fourteen or so, based on interaction with their family members.

Child Mage / int_af6a4464	comment	The Secret World features quite a few mages who are either children or young teenagers - comparatively rare in the setting given that most forms of magic require years of education to master: Carter was telekinetic at birth, and eventually grew so powerful that she was accepted into Innsmouth Academy at twelve - the youngest student on record. At the start of the game, she's about sixteen years of age and capable of causing thaumonuclear explosions at will. Hayden Montag, Headmaster of Innsmouth Academy and Carter's tutor, actually started out as one of these: despite not having the genetic capacity for magic that distinguishes most of the child mages in the setting, Montag was casting eldritch magic at an early age simply because he had the intellect and the drive to learn it; tragically, his early experiments resulted in the accidental deaths of his mother and neighbors - which is one of the reasons why the adult Montag is so insistent on Carter learning control of her powers. Callie James, a fifteen-year-old homeless girl, demonstrates a powerful grasp of pyromancy - having accidentally burned down school buildings when her powers were awakened. As such, she's had recruitment offers from both the Templars and the Illuminati, but for now Callie's okay with serving as a squire to John Gallahad. Uta Bloody Valentine AKA The Rabbit Killer also started out as this, having been born with powerful Blood Magic as a result of her assimilating her twin sisters in the womb; indeed, given that it's not established how old she really is and you never see her face, it's possible she's actually a teenager. Emma Smith takes the cake: she's an unimaginably powerful mage capable of blasting massive craters in the Earth, cutting down whole swathes of Filth-monsters, telepathically sensing events in the past, leaving ghostly "memories" of herself to guide players, teleporting with the same ease that most people walk, curing the Filth with a kiss, and even controlling the Gaia Engines ... and she can't be a day older than twelve.

The Technicolor Fire mage Romeo joins during a Time Skip and is only 13 at the end of it. The first Master and founder of Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermillion, at the age of 13 had already studied and mastered Illusory magic to bring to life numerous vivid images capable of deceiving the senses of most people and creatures (and unknowingly even herself). At the same age, she was also able to learn in a very short span of time some of the most powerful spells in the branch of Black Magic none other than the legendary dark wizard Zeref did; in particular, she proved to be able to use the dangerous Law spell that consists in partially rewriting the reality entered a certain area and over the years she has managed to perfect it by eliminating the side effect. Even the younger version of Merudy qualifies for this trope during the events of Sirius Island.

They are all children attached to the army as if they were grown adults. It is then shown that all of these children are the reborn warlocks that were executed by Empress Laseen ten years prior to curb a Wickan rebellion. They retain all of their Past-Life Memories, knowledge and skills. However, Imperial Historian Duiker theorizes that all of them, as knowledgeable as they might be, still lack the physical stamina for the really powerful stuff they used to be capable of. This is confirmed when Nil and Nether have to sacrifice a mare, an animal that is sacred to their tribes, in order to cast a truly powerful spell, which then takes its toll from the mare and still leaves both Nil and Nether exhausted. In fact, all the child warlocks and witches but these two die during the course of the book from their bodies being unable to handle the strain.
