'''Tim''' is a nickname for the card <c>Prodigal Sorcerer</c>. The card got this nickname because it is a wizard that can damage objects on command, akin to the character Tim in the movie ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_Grail Monty Python and the Holy Grail]'', and the art in later printings was changed to make the homage more direct. Tim is also now used as a verb to describe the action of dealing one damage.
'''Prodigal Sorcerer''' can refer to:
*[[Prodigal Sorcerer (card)|Prodigal Sorcerer]], a card  
*'''Prodigal Sorcerer''' is a term used in reference to a wizard who left [[Institute of Arcane Study]], in this way breaking its tradition. Known Prodigal Sorcerers are [[Alligarius]] and [[Arlen]].
*[[Prodigal Sorcerer (book)|The Prodigal Sorcerer]], a 1995 [[Magic: The Gathering]] novel by [[Mark Sumner]]


In its [[Alpha]] print, Prodigal Sorcerer's artist attribution is incorrect; on it, it reads that Douglas Schuler is the artist, but this is not the case - Douglas Shuler is the artist.
{{disambig}}
 
Formerly merely a Wizard, in [[Time Spiral]], <card title="Prodigal Sorcerer">Prodigal Sorcerer|Time Spiral</card> was reprinted and its creature type was corrected to reflect the race and class system.
===Nicknames===
Tim has inspired other nicknames for cards:
*"Tim on a stick" {{-}} <c>Rod of Ruin</c>
*"Tim on a whim" {{-}} <c>Hermetic Study</c>
*"Tim on a ship" {{-}} <c>Pirate Ship</c>
*"Tim who can swim" {{-}} <c>Rootwater Hunter</c>
 
==Planar Chaos==
<c>Prodigal Pyromancer</c> introduced in [[Planar Chaos]] is a [[timeshifted]] version of the Prodigal Sorcerer. The card is more fitting in red and there was speculation at the time that it would be reprinted in a [[Core Set]] eventually. Such speculation is confirmed to be true, as Prodigal Pyromancer is reprinted in [[10th Edition]].
