I was supposed to be better than my father... instead I was blinded by ego....
Warlic is widely known throughout Lore as the Blue Mage. He lives near Lymcrest, and has helped them with their troubles with Xan, in which he had a personal stake.
History
Early Life
Rebellion Under the Flames
Warlic was originally an infernal more than 200 years before the main story. However, unlike other infernals who desire destruction under the flames, he went against his father, pushing him off the cliff. This resulted in him descending from his original state to become a hybrid being. He became a Human/Infernal hybrid being and was found in a forest with a portal. He was taken in as one of Brump's apprentices before Alexander and was advised not to use his magic too much due to its negative side effects, even though Warlic found this boring.
Swordhaven Magic Academy and Meeting Xan
Xan and Warlic were once friends attending the Swordhaven Magic Academy. Both fell in love with the same girl, Jaania, resulting in a magic duel between the two powerful mages. Warlic accidentally set Xan on fire. It would have killed him, as Warlic was unable to stop the flames, but he did manage to change it to a healing fire instead, keeping Xan alive. As a result of the fight, however, Jaania was trapped in a crystal. Warlic believed the only way to free her was by his and Xan's combined power, but Xan swore he would free her on his own. He also swore vengeance against Warlic. Ultimately, Warlic and the player defeat Xan, although he is later revealed to be alive.
Main Story
Dragon Egg Saga
Warlic also shares a tower with Cysero, but Warlic cannot stand Cysero's mess, so they painted a line down the center that neither can cross. The Players character explores Cysero's side of the tower in attempt to find a spellbook to summon the DoomKitten and find the true dragon egg.
The Storm and Death
In "The Storm," Warlic and Nythera fight to the death after the player completes her "Potion Making" quest. Nythera proceeds to use the potion the player made previously to kill Warlic and appropriate all his powers. She then issues a challenge to the Avatars, summoning their forces to attack Falconreach. This is the first lost war in DragonFable history. Warlic has his funeral, where Twig the Moglin give him a ice/fish cream cone. Artix mourns him by giving him some of his wasabi sauce, Lady Celestia gives him a teacup, and they even erect a statue in honor of the blue mage in Falconreach. The statue stands in the south side of Falconreach.
Bringing Him Back
Nythera fights the Elemental Avatars and loses, deciding to bring back Warlic. You then play as Warlic, fighting the avatars and winning. Warlic pardons Nythera, but still grounds her.
Darkness on Lore and Split
Warlic fights to make a light shield around Falconreach in order to protect the town against the Mysterious Strange. Then, he opens a portal to Atrea and is split into The Professor and Wargoth.
After time fighting as The Professor, Wargoth is defeated and reunited with The Professor and they become Warlic again.
Reuniting with Xan and Jaania
Later, he tried to apolgize to Jaania and Xan for his misdeeds, but Jaania refused to forgive him. To punish him, and eliminate a dangerous obstacle to her plans, she froze him in a block of ice, along with Xan and The Hero. He got free along with Xan some years before the Hero, and started the Hero's melting process before he was chased away by Rose soldiers.
Xan looks to have forgiven Archmage Warlic for his deeds in Book 3: The End of Magic, but Jaania has disappeared.
The End of Magic
With The Rose regaining power over Lore, Warlic and Xan were forced to hide from this organization, it also was to regain power from being divided into two beings, as justified in Corundum Corruption quest.
Appearance
Despite being over 200 years old, his appearance is a tall man around his 30s. He wears blue mage robes with some magical decorations around it, giving him the title as the Blue Mage. His hair is colored silver, with his bangs covering one side of his face and he has delicate facial features, with yellow eyes.
In his younger years as Brump's apprentice in Swordhaven, his hair is colored brown and he has visible sideburns on his face. His standard attire in the Acadamy is mage apprentice robes.
In a flashback of his previous life, he was an Infernal with wings. However, after going against his father, he lost his wings.
Personality
200 years before the main story as a student in the Magic Academy, he was an arrogant mage who believed that no one will surpass him. This resulted in his rivalry with Alexander, who was almost in equal terms in terms of magical ability and strength. He had a crush on Jaania at first sight, something he has in common with Alexander.
However, after the duel, his personality had changed dramatically and he began to regret his actions. For a long time, he had tried to atone for his sins, becoming wiser in the process, shown when he teaches his own apprentice Nythera about the proper use of magic.
Power and Abilities
Warlic is the most powerful wielder of magic known to Lore. For reasons unknown, even to him, instead of expending mana, the mystical energy manipulated in magic, he instead generates it. This becomes a problem when he generates more mana than he can contain, damaging him as a result. Nythera also possessed this power while she had his staff and crystal ball.
As he was not originally human in his past life, his lifespan of over 200 years is far greater than that of a human.

Trivia
- On Warlic's statue in Falconreach it says "Long may the blue mage live in our hearts. May his journey into Death's realm lead him to peace. (scratched into the bottom it says:) He got better. "He got better" is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- In MechQuest, Warlic was the Dean of GEARS University of Soluna City. He was also present at the Reset.
- His name is likely a reference to "Warlock", a type of magic user in fantasy, sometimes the male equivalent to a witch.
- Strangely in the "Xan's Volcanic Fortress" quest (part of the Save Lymcrest series of quests) Warlic's mana does not expand, but he uses it up like all other characters (this can be maybe explained as a gameplay feature).
- In addition, during this quest, unlike most other characters Warlic retains his set level limit despite this having long been adjusted for most other characters by 2015.
- Unlike most other characters who had their level set at 3, Warlic's level is fixed at 11.
