* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'':
** Jon Irenicus, BigBad of Shadowns of Amn. Evil by reason of having no soul and a resultant fascination with playing around with innards. Although at one point he was just your regular "driven by overpassionate love and misplaced pride" sort of evil. You could have some understanding for his situation, if he wasn't so smug about his superiority. You WILL hate him.
** [[SmugSnake Edwin]] [[ButtMonkey Odesseiron]] ''wishes'' he were an evil sorcerer. His inexperience, social ineptitude, [[EvilIsPetty relentless pettiness]], and massive hubris make him a rather [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain hapless, pitiable figure]] despite his tremendous magical talent.

''Franchise/BaldursGate'':
** TokenEvilTeammate [[SmugSnake Edwin]] [[ButtMonkey Odesseiron]] in the first two games ''wishes'' he were an evil sorcerer. His inexperience, social ineptitude, [[EvilIsPetty relentless pettiness]], and massive hubris make him a rather [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain hapless, pitiable figure]] despite his tremendous magical talent.
** Ramazith in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' is an evil wizard living in an EvilTowerOfOminousness who tries to trick the PlayerCharacter into bringing a kidnapped [[TheFairFolk nymph]] to him so he can use her for spell components.

Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' has AmnesiacHero "The Dark Urge", canonically a [[LizardFolk dragonborn]] Sorcerer with an EnemyWithin that made him be a SerialKiller [[AmnesiacDissonance in his past life]] [[spoiler:due to being [[TheAntichrist a son of the god of murder]]]]. There's also Lorroakan, a BigBadWannabe who moved into Ramazith's tower and [[VillainWithGoodPublicity turned it into a popular magic shop]] while secretly [[ImmortalitySeeker plotting to become immortal]] through unsavory means.


Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', AmnesiacHero "The Nameless One" was an ImmortalGenius with a complete mastery of magic alongside a myriad of other skills, but also at times [[IHatePastMe a heartless monster]] who betrayed everyone close to him [[spoiler:like his apprentice Ignus, who he taught magic to before turning him into a flaming HumanoidAbomination]].

* ''AudioPlay/JanTenner'': Seytania is a powerful dark sorceress from a line of powerful dark sorcerers. Her magic allows her to [[{{Teleportation}} teleport]], create [[PlayingWithFire walls of fire]], [[EyeBeams shoot fire and lightning from her eyes]], [[MagicalEye weaken people looking into her eyes]], [[SoulPower push people's souls out of their bodies]] and [[PuppetPermutation turn people into puppets]]. She can also cast a [[LovePotion love spell]] on people. Though it only works if they are unprepared.

* ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' loves this trope oh-so-much. Nex, Geb, Tar-Barphon, Karzoug and six other Runelords, Adivion Adrissant, The Splatter Man, Arazni, Areelu Vorlesh, Vordakai, and dozens more are in the setting. It's rare for an adventure not to have at least one, even if they aren't the primary antagonist.

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': Shang Tsung and Quan Chi embody this trope very well. Shao Kahn and Shinnok pull this off as well, while also overlapping with GodOfEvil. There's also Ermac who is always somewhere between [[EliteMooks Elite Mook]] and TheDragon being MadeOfMagic and judging by hierarchy among the villains is likely the most powerful under Shao Kahn himself. [[spoiler:Justified since being a SoulJar made up of Edenian souls LongDeadBadass King Jerrod (Kitana's father) is inside Ermac.]]

** The supplement ''Spirit of the Season'' brings magic more fully into the game, and naturally has a couple of magical villains, including Salomon Mizrahi, a evil kabbalist who is convinced he is a Tzadikim Nistarim, one of the 36 Righteous People whose existence supports that of the world. Interestingly, he's actually better at Science! than he is at magic, making him particularly dangerous.

** ''ComicBook/TheWarlordDC'': Deimos, arch-enemy of the main character. Also Ashiya, sometimes TheDragon to Deimos, and Motalla. Both of them also qualify as {{Hot Witch}}es and {{Vain Sorceress}}es.

** Khartom is a supremely powerful, evil wizard imprisoned on the cover of a large magical book by his longtime enemies. His only hope of release is a magical gem called the Philosopher's Stone which contains the god-like energy and abilities of the cosmos itself. All he needs is someone greedy enough to create the stone and willingly release him from his prison.

* ''VideoGame/NobodySavesTheWorld'': Astrolabus is hyped up as a potential threat, due to cursing Marty Joe, Randy suspecting that he's responsible for Nostramagus vanishing, and Octavia being unable to contact him since The Calamity appeared. [[spoiler:It turns out to all be {{Red Herring}}s and he's been trying to help Nostramagus, who is his brother.]]
