I looked up St. Mungo in a terrific online "Lives of the Saints" and
he's real! He is the patron saint of Glasgow and was also known as
Kentigern. Interesting facts: he was illegitimate, his name may mean
"darling," and he died in the bath. The cause of death is not given;
a heart attack upon seeing a ghostly girl in spectacles peeking at
him, perhaps?
Other than that possibility, I don't know what he did that makes
him the patron of magical maladies.
