The pics look interesting. He/ she appears to be evil but also has a mark on the head which means a possible spell of mind control or something. It is doubtful but maybe this blue mage could be a rival to the black mage? There are only a couple of castle locations, so the statue scene does narrow down the choices somewhat. Although I wonder if it is a picture of what happens after the blue mage is defeated or if it is the moment right before the blue mage breaks free of the statue?
