Mage
Mage is an archaic term for magician. The term is popularly used among fans of role-playing games.
Mages are the main difference between races in the computer games Warcraft and Warcraft II. They cast "magic spells" that augment your army or disable your enemy's. In Warcraft III they are known as "spellcasters".
