The Magician is the person who programs and runs Elfpack. He fixes the bugs, makes changes and tweaks the site to make it better. Additionally, he make changes when the Council annoys him into it, and he keeps an eye on things to make sure the Warden doesn't get too corrupt.

The Magician Apprentices are the people who do not have direct access to the Elfpack Server and thus cannot recode Elfpack, but their extensive help and knowledge of site-workings have earned them this acclaimed position.
