Wizard

Wizards are EM-Wave beings that permanently replace NetNavis in the MegaMan Star Force series. Wizards can materialize into the real world, if their owner allows them to. "A Wizard is a sentient, or semi-sentient, electromagnetic (EM) wave with artificial intelligence designed to be an assistant for the operator and resides in his or her Hunter VG". Specifically, the Hunter VG is a multipurpose device that is capable of acting in numerous functions, such as sending and receiving e-mail, acting as an alarm clock and calendar, and acting as a cell phone. Each of these functions is controlled by the Wizard that resides within the Hunter VG under normal circumstances. A Hunter VG is, however, also capable of connecting to computerized devices, referred to as "Pulsing In" (Pulse-In), in which case the Wizard is transferred to that device and may roam around it, affecting programs contained in that device as required, and moving through that device to any other devices connected to it, such as moving from a specific computer to the larger Internet/Wave World. In addition, Wizards may function as anti-virus software, directly combating the offending programs in an activity called "virus busting". Two Wizards can also battle one another in "EM Battles".

When a Wizard is defeated in these battles, they are usually logged out to avoid permanent damage, though in MegaMan Star Force, many FM-ians were completely deleted.

Wizards are given a unique personality that often reflects upon their operator's personality, and usually develops a strong friendship with their operators. Wizards can also be used as assistants in their operator's occupation. Malicious users may use their Wizard to hack into secure computer networks and commit crimes. Though these Wizards are not technically viruses, they are treated as such.

Wizards have the ability to upload Battle Cards for use in battle against viruses or each other. Certain Wizards have elemental stereotypes that define their fighting styles and techniques.

Wizards are set to appear more in the MegaMan Star Force series.
