Mage

From WorldofAsdar

The word mage is used to translate various Asdaran native words which indicate a magic-practitioner, often similar to a wizard, who belongs to a fraternity or order. The English language word 'mage' comes from the Greek word that is the root of 'magic,' but this is not necessarily so for Asdaran words with similar usage.

Examples of mage orders include the Knights-Magi of Aurice.

Archmage

The most powerful members of mage orders were originally called archmages as they were the rulers of the order. Over the centuries, the term became something of an honorific applying to the most accomplished mages who were not necessarily acknowledged to have a high office in their respective orders.
