Heka
Heka loves nothing more than stunning friends and family with a new magic trick. Whether it's sleight of hand or a disappearing act, he's the master of magic in the Two Lands. Those wizardly powers also extend themselves to medicine—he's a doctor extraordinaire—but he's also BFFs with Re. Heka even helps keep the universe in balance by helping out Ma'at. Talk about a multitasker!

| Quotations | "We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already." —J.K. Rowling "Never ever doubt in magic. The purest honest thoughts come from children; ask any child if they believe in magic and they will tell you the truth." —Scott Dixon "I don't have time for laundry. I'm saving lives here." —Dr. Gregory House of House "All the learning of Egypt lay in the keeping of the gods. For ten years I served them in the school that I might earn the right to call myself a physician. I learned to bend my body to them, but that was all. My mind still asked a question. Why?" —The Egyptian film |
