About

Wizard "I Cast" is a series of wizardposting memes, including image macros and animations, in which a wizard is depicted casting an unusual and comedic spell using the phrasal template "I cast X," "X" being the name of the spell. The earliest known example of the "I cast" format was posted to Tumblr in 2018 and became notably popular throughout 2023 and early 2024 on sites like Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and Facebook.
