Not the gods, technically. Well, kind of the gods? The pharaohs were gods on earth and all, they hosted them. But we're descended from the actual people. Me, I'm related to Ramesses the Great on my mum's side and Narmer on my dad's. Kind of a double-whammy, you might say. Most magicians are only related to one pharaoh.

But, y'know, they lived thousands of years ago. So their kids had kids, and their illegitimate kids had kids, and thousands of years later there are magicians all over the world with some magic in their blood because they got busy.
