Mermaid Princess Amelia – Best Mermaid Book Series For Teenagers

Wizard Kescher is Amelia’s teacher in Nerland, charged with instructing her in the magical arts as part of her intensive crash course in Nerlandese culture and politics. He teaches her telekinesis—the ability to move objects with her mind. During their training, Amelia struggles even to move a simple fish bone, but Kescher insists that she has talent and that her difficulty is a matter of focus and practice, not inability. He is one of the few characters explicitly associated with witchcraft (as opposed to Christianity), and his role is to demonstrate that Nerland’s acceptance of magic as a divine gift extends to practical, teachable skills. He is a minor figure, seen only in the classroom, but his belief in Amelia’s potential is a small encouragement amid her many challenges.
