In Ars Magica, a '''Companion''' is a [[Character Type|character type]]. They are key characters in the [[Saga|saga]], and a player may end up playing his companion character more than his [[Magus|magus]] due to [[Troupe Style Play]]. However, in general their raw power is shadowed by that of the magi and they serve a more supplementary and intermediary role in the story, with the magi being the main focus.

Companions can mingle either with wizards or among the mundane folk of Mythic Europe. They offer the most freedom of all the character types. A companion can be designed to fit any concept, can have any kind of abilities (even limited magical powers), and can experience more facets of Mythic Europe than other characters. Companions of exceptional potency are Mythic Companions, who are often played in lieu of the player's main (magus) character.
