Just got done reading a Robin comic featuring a villain called
"Johnny Warlock." He's a originally a smalltime enforcer by the
name of "Johnny Warren" who works for a Gotham crime family, until
he comes into contact with a demonic artifact that bonds to his
chest and grants him a host of supernatural powers as long as he
psychically feeds it enough people's lifeforce (starting with his
own mother!!) He has several additional encounters with Tim Drake,
and someone used the term "insta-sorcerer" to describe his
transformation. I thought that was pretty cool, and was wondering
if anyone had any similar characters they had encountered in comic
books, novels, or even some role playing games. Any suggestions
would be appreciated!

The main villain "Vaati" from the game "The Legend of Zelda: The
Minish Cap" falls under this category perfectly. He's originally a
small harmless sprite like creature, who's mentor makes a Wish cap
for the human race. Vaati is fascinated by human evil, so he steals
the cap and wishes to become a powerful humanoid sorcerer, who of
course encounters Link along the way. There was also a manga
adaption of this game, that expanded on this origin a bit. I also
think an earlier version of Gannon falls under this category with
the Triforce of Power. But it's been several years since I played
any of the games, so I could be wrong. Hope that helps.

Know you didn't mention TV shows, but I got to mention
"Rumpelstiltskin" from Once Upon A Time. He was just an ordinary
man, until he got the Dark One's cursed dagger.

Can the characters be mystics to begin with whose powers are
enhanced by an artifact, or are you specifically looking for
average non-powered people who gain instant magic power? If you're
ok with them already having magic powers that get enhanced, I could
recommend a few D&D characters and campaigns. Otherwise, I got
nothing.

If your looking for a comic book character like "Johnny Warlock" I
would recommend "The Shade" from DC's Starman comics. He's not a
wizard per se, but does go from being an ordinary human into an
immortal conduit for the dark force because of a botched mystic
ritual. He's had 2 mini series that detailed this particular
origin. The original 4 part mini series from 97, and a 12 part one
that was rebooted in 2011. This version of the character also makes
an appearance on the Stargirl TV series. Personally, he's my
favorite Anti-Villain, but he does share some similarities to
"Johnny Warlock."

When I was little, I saw an episode of The Little Mermaid where she
went into a cave and was instantly turned into a sorceress. I
remember I thought that was pretty cool.

Dat, Ariel"

I do remember that one of the Final Fantasy games had a character
who was possessed by an evil sorceress from the future, thus
gaining her powers. But I can't remember which one, sorry.

Highlander 3:The Sorcerer. Kane kills the wizard Nakano and gets
all his magical powers. Sweet deal!

Best book example I can think of is "The Devil's Coin" by Mark
Manley. A boy finds a ancient silver coin hidden in his
grandfather's old belongings. His grandfather was a WW2 veteran who
got it off a Nazi soldier he killed. Turns out it's one of the 30
pieces of silver Judas was paid to betray Jesus. The coin is
cursed, and fuses to the palm of his hand. He begins to turn evil,
and gains immortality, regenerative abilities, and several psychic
powers. He also begins to develops a desire to possess the other 29
coins. With each coin, his grow stronger. He compels his drug
smuggling father to go to Europe to begin collecting the other
coins he can sense. There's also a surviving Nazi organization that
originally possessed his grandfather's coin, and a faction of the
Vatican that is also trying to get to the coins first.

Try "Tetra" from Marvel's Conan the Barbarian comics. Sounds just
like the character your looking for. It's one of my favorite
storylines. Here's a couple of links detailing her corruption and
backstory.
Enjoy!

Checked into that "Devil's coin." on Amazon and eBay. Its out of
print, and a copy runs like $50 bucks on average, but it's
definitely up my alley so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the
recommend, Basil!

The Final Fantasy character that was mentioned earlier is Edea
Kramer. Here's link to her Wikipedia page.

Hey Dren.,you mentioned comic books in your post. I read a lot of
the old horror comics from the 50s-70s, and know a few stories
where people are turned into witches against their will., or get
ahold of an artifact that gives them evil magic, If your ok with
the them being brief stories, I could recommend a few, even post a
link to some comic book sites that host some of them because
they've fallen into public domain. Let me know if that's what your
after.

If you don't mind comedy, give the short story "Make Me A Witch" by
R.L. Stine a try.

Thank you for all the responses. In response to couple of
questions: Yes, Juniper I wouldn't mind mages who gain enhanced
powers from artifacts. Admittedly I would prefer they start out as
ordinary humans, but beggars can be choosers. And to the guest who
mentioned stories from horror comics; that would be just fine.
Please add the posts.
