Alec is likely a character in the fanfic, perhaps someone who is vulnerable to manipulation. Magus is the one who does the manipulating. Without more context from the fanfic, it's hard to say more about their specific identities or backstories.
In the 'Alec gets manipulated by Magus' fanfic, Magus could use his charm to manipulate Alec. He might be very smooth - talking and convince Alec to do things that are not in Alec's best interest. Magus could also create situations where Alec feels indebted to him. For example, Magus could 'save' Alec from a made - up danger and then use that as leverage to get Alec to do his bidding. Additionally, Magus may manipulate the information Alec has access to. By controlling what Alec knows, he can control how Alec thinks and acts.
Yes, there might be. Fanfics are widely spread across various fanfic platforms. You can try searching on popular ones like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net.
Well, it could be that Magus uses some form of magic or power to control Alec's actions for his own purposes, like making Alec do things against his will to achieve a certain goal in a fictional world.
It's also possible that the real antagonist is Alec's own insecurities. Magnus might be using Alec's insecurities to manipulate him. So in a way, Alec's internal struggles could be seen as the antagonist. But again, from the title's perspective, Magnus is the one directly involved in the act of manipulation.
One common way could be through using his magic in a subtle way. For example, he might use magic to create situations where Alec has no choice but to follow his lead. Maybe he makes it seem like the only option for Alec to protect his friends or family is to do what Magnus wants.
Since I don't know the specific'magus novel', it could be the magus themselves as the main character. There might also be a sidekick or a mentor figure, like an old wise magician who guides the magus on their journey.
The protagonist is obviously one of the main characters. He is the one who drives the story forward with his pursuit of magic.
Well, without more context, it's hard to say precisely. However, generally speaking, in a'magus novel', we might expect elements such as magic spells, magical realms, and the inner struggle of the magus. For example, the magus could be faced with moral dilemmas when using magic. He or she might have to decide whether to use a powerful but dangerous spell to defeat an enemy, which could potentially harm innocent people as well. And the story could unfold as the magus tries to find a balance between power and responsibility.
In a great number of fanfictions, Harry is indeed made into an OP magus. This is because it allows for more creative freedom. The author can have Harry perform amazing feats of magic, like creating new spells or having an unrivaled control over magic. It also makes for interesting interactions with other characters, as his OP status can either inspire admiration, envy, or fear among them.
I don't know who the author of 'alec a novel' is. There could be many relatively unknown authors or it could be a self - published work.
