* AuraVision: His spell lets him cheat at ''Magickal Gatherings'' by creating a vision of his foe's deck in the form of a busty anime girl. Pandora gave it to him in the hopes that if he Awakened he would gain the ability to see magical auras like Luke.

An average nerd and Justin's coworker A smug jerk with a magic mark that lets him cheat at the comic book shop.''Magickal Gatherings''.




to:

* AscendedExtra: Like Jay and Sam, AJ was a random background character who had his appearance reused for a plot-relevant character later.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His magic mark is ''absurdly'' specific. It lets him learn things about his opponent's deck in ''Magickal Gatherings'' while making them look like a busty anime girl to him. It's the type of mark that's granted because he had a deep desire for something, in this case a desire to win card games [[HormoneAddledTeenager and look at busty anime girls]].
* {{Jerkass}}: He's first introduced butting ahead of Rhoda in line at the cafeteria and refusing to go back behind her, and his next appearance has him confidently using his magic to cheat at a tournament.
* MuggingTheMonster: AJ tried cutting Rhoda off in line, [[spoiler:but she's able to intimidate him thanks to her [[TheArchmage absurd magic power]]]].
* PowerTattoo: He has a magic mark in the shape of a ''Magickal Gatherings'' card with twintails.
* UselessUsefulSpell: His magic mark isn't strictly useful to Pandora since it doesn't have any external effect and she can't even she what he sees when he uses it. However, it's the kind of spell that can easily blossom into a proper AuraVision if AJ Awakens (or much less likely, a spell that lets him actually turn people into {{Player Archetype|s}}[=-themed=] anime girls).

Should probably clarify that since nobody other than Catalina, Akiko, and Luke know Rhoda has magic and that might actually be important in the current NP arc.

* DirtyCoward: [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/balance-043 Based on his apology]] and the conversation, it's likely Camdin was mostly in a blind panic when he ran. It's clear he isn't happy with his reaction, but the situation was clearly caused by his naivety and overeagerness. What isn't known is whether Camdin was running or using smoke powers and whether or not he could knock someone down in smoke form (and his powers can't presumably be used to turn other people into smoke or drag them to safety anyways so he was powerless to help Luke regardless). He clearly didn't mean to knock Luke down, but he did abandon him. [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/balance-065 Then we finally see what happened.]]

* ImprobableTaxonomySkills: He apparently knows the taxonomic family of squirrels. Despite the fact that that is easily recognized by biologists, the fact that he and several others recognize the word "Sciuridae" with presumably little biology experience is notable.
