I just. Bought myself the coolest card. (And it’s not only a card but you can pull off the wizard and actually iron it into clothes or use it as a sticker!)

On the bright side, faesaurus and I were discussing the semantic difference between 'mage' and 'wizard' the other day (was it only yesterday?)

We agreed there was a definite difference, but we could not find a solid way to describe it.

I've been thinking about it a lot!! I think seeing the old cleric uniforms in the mission this afternoon helped me along with this definition. Magi were a real thing, people legitimately believed their Magi could bring miracles or magic to them as cures, answers to prayers, etc.

So anyway I have a feeling that 'mage' gives a more umbrella term, a more "real" term, something we can imagine happening, maybe?

'Wizard' does seem to go straight to the archetypal old man with a beard, robe, and cane-thing.

I look forward to a discussion about these words!! How do you feel about them? Do you think there is a difference? How do you see a mage in your mind's eye? A wizard?
