(PROSE: A Honeycomb of Souls) A peasant who had been sent to 1970s London by a time eddy also believed the Third Doctor was a wizard when he saw him. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) However, after dropping the "Qui Quae Quod" disguise, the Doctor insisted to Thorpe that he was not "a magician or a wizard or anything of the sort", maintaining that his and 's abilities as Time Lords and men of science were entirely different from folkloric "magic".

Merlin was a famous wizard associated with the legends of Camelot. Many individuals used the name at one point or another, including (PROSE: The Creation of Camelot) and several incarnations of the Doctor, (TV: Battlefield, PROSE: One Fateful Knight, Legends of Camelot) as "the Merlin" was actually the official title for the astrologer of Camelot's court, rather than a personal name. (PROSE: The Creation of Camelot) One Merlin had a sister called Ganeida, who was a wizard like himself; they were both of half-demon heritage. (PROSE: A Honeycomb of Souls)
