Bink is a Magician who is immune to magical harm.
Bink is the primary character of the first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon. Originally, Bink was believed to have no talent and as a child was bullied by others and looked down upon. Even the Good Magician Humfrey could not tell him what his talent was. As a result of having no demonstrable talent, Bink was banished from Xanth. After returning to Xanth with Magician Trent, it was discovered that his talent made him invulnerable to magical harm, although not to mundane harm.
Bink's talent is considered by the few that know of it to be an unknown factor; it prevents any mention of it, and protects itself imminently as a way of protecting Bink. If it was to be discovered, it could be used against him. King Trent, in the book The Source of Magic, mentions that he believes Bink's talent was sufficiently strong enough to manipulate even the Demon X(A/N)TH himself.
[edit] Major Accomplishments
- Bink discovered the source of the magic in Xanth.
