Lei Magnus on Kanzaka's new year card of 2004. The Lord of Nightmares can be seen in the background
Lei Magnus (Japanese: レイ=マグナス Romaji: rei magunasu; alternate trans.: Rei Magnus) was a famous and powerful human sorcerer during the time of the Kōma War. He was one of the Five Great Sages.
Only a few concrete facts are known of his life. Lei was the inventor of two of the most powerful spells, the Dragon Slave (originally called the Dragon Slayer) and the Blast Bomb. One of the first public displays of the former spell's power was when he killed a 1,600-year-old arc dragon with it. It is unknown if he is the one who created the Demon's Blood Talismans, but they certainly were in his possession for a while.
Lei Magnus in the anime
A fragment of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu resided within the sorcerer, and for the mazoku, one of the objectives of the Kōma War was to awaken that piece. As Hajime Kanzaka explained, the seal on the fragment of Ruby Eye was broken similarly to Luke's: Lei was consumed by hatred towards other humans when he witnessed the bloody massacre of the war fought between human nations in the early years of the Kōma War. Little did he know that the war was staged precisely in order to have this effect by Hellmaster Fibrizo.
