Among the Baklunish Boccob is the sane counterpart of of Ralishaz, the god of magic and understanding.

Boccob is the god of arcane magic in the Common pantheon, called the uncaring, arch-mage of the gods and patron of Wizardry. His agenda is to maintain, spread, and develop the use of magic; to see to it that what needs to be secret remains in wise hands while promulgating arcane knowledge as much as possible. He does not hoard arcane secrets, instead wishing all to embrace them. He encourages acceptance and the spread of ideas and is in many way the father of the Common culture.

In Synchretism Boccob is the god of magic, but even more so the spreader of knowledge and by extension the god of travel and trade. This is a concept that has low esteem among the dwarves, and to them it is Vengadain, god of suspicion, trickery, and trade. Corellon Lathean is the elven god who rules by virtue of his skill and excellence with magic. Garl Glittergold is the first gnome, trickster, jeweller and shaper. Boccob is popular among humans as he gladly helps others to learn his wisdom, and is represented in all the human pantheons. The Flan know him as Allituir the god of propriety. Zilchus is the Oerdian god of prestige, money, and influence, Mouqol is the Baklunish prophet of trade. Osprem is the Suel god of the sea and sea trade. Zagyg the Mad is an ascended archmage of Greyhawk City. Ye’cind is an ascended elven musician-mage,
