### Cost

N/A

**Blue Aladdin** is an A-Tier Costume for the Magician, Servais Le Roy. It was introduced in the Fourth Beta Test on December 22nd, 2017 in the Season 0 Memory Sphere as a S-Tier Costume, then being later released as an A-Tier Costume in July 18th, 2018 in Season 1 Essence 2.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

Servais' serious expression is altered to have a permanent smirk, while retaining his dark eyes. His beard and hair appear black, with a strand sticking out from under his headwear, and he now lacks a mustache.

### **Outfit**

Servais' head is covered by a blue turban with multiple star patterns, golden edges and chains adorning it. A star is chained to its back, while a golden crescent with an embedded purple gem is pinned to the front, decorated by a large yellow feather and star. Covering his neck is a thick blue scarf with stars that hangs down his back, and he sports two large golden earrings with red gems.

Servais wears a leather gilet shirt with yellow edges, with a white oriental shirt underneath. On his hands are black fingerless gloves that reach his elbows, with large golden bracelets around his wrists. He has large light brown pants at his legs, with a blue waistband and dark red oriental slippers on his feet, with stars attached to their tips.

### **Item**

Servais' Magic Wand is replaced by a small golden oriental lamp, with an elongated beak, an engraved pommel and purple gems embedded on its sides.

### **Special Effects**

#### Costume

The gems on Servais' turban and earrings shine brightly, while small blue and golden glowing particles are constantly emitted from the costume's clothing, slowly floating upwards before disappearing.

#### Item

The Decoy now has effects that releases a giant cyan cloud dust that slowly disappears upwards after use of the item and when the decoy gets hit by any attack, it makes ghosts with a cyan aura appear before flying away.

#### Standby Motions

Due to the Decoy being smaller than a regular wand, the following standby motions were adjusted to work for Blue Aladdin, those are Ready and Stand.

## Development

Blue Aladdin originally used to have a different model with higher quality textures and had S-Tier rarity during Season 0, sporting differences like the turban having a steeper curve to the back with no star and lacking the stars pattern on both the turban and scarf. The design got updated once Platinum Aladdin was available to feature a more uniform turban and stars pattern on both his turban and scarf, both costumes were updated to have A-Tier rarity during the Open Beta Test. The old model can be still seen in the showroom as the genie bothering Servais in both skins.

## Trivia

* This costume alongside with Platinum Aladdin and Golden/Green/White Tentacle costumes for The Ripper are the first costumes ever to use uniquely drawn poses in the card sprites instead of using the regular ones.
* The voice actor for this costume is different from Servais' usual voice. Li Yuantao (李元韬) is the voice actor for Aladdin in the showroom, as Magician was originally reusing Lawyer's voicelines as a placeholder in Season 1 until he was given a unique voice by Sun Ye (孙晔).
	+ This also applies to Platinum Aladdin.
* The looks and name of the costume are a reference to Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, a popular folk tale of middle eastern origin associated with the "One Thousand And One Nights" tales collection.
* In the game files exists an icon for Blue Aladdin, marked for Illusion Hall content. This implies that at some point during the game's development the costume was either considered for, or outright available, in the shop.
* Blue Aladdin shares its model and details with Servais' Platinum Aladdin A-Tier costume, differing from it only in textures. **Note that Blue Aladdin and Platinum Aladdin share the same decoy model with the same textures between them.**
	+ Another recolored version of the costume, Aquamarine Aladdin, was available during the late beta testing phase of the game, but would later go unreleased. Much like Platinum Aladdin, this version differed only in color palette. Curiously, however, the costume was labelled an S-Tier cosmetic, rather than A-Tier, and its description was an almost perfect match of Platinum Aladdin's, exception made for the name mentioned in it.
	+ Textures for a red and golden Aladdin exist in the game files, suggesting that the Aladdin series of costumes was originally going to have several recolors using the same model.
	+ The concept art for both Blue Aladdin and Platinum Aladdin depict him having a full cape, it was replaced by a scarf in the in-game model.
* Hell Ember's "Aladdin" costume, released during the 2018 Halloween Event, is based on the appearance of Servais' Blue Aladdin.
