| '''Mage''' is a general term used to refer to any character or class that can work arcane magic, giving it a more neutral context (or at least informal tone) than [[arcanist]]. Whilst it is usually considered more synonymous with the [[Wizard]], it can also cover [[Sorcerer]], [[Warlock]] and [[Witch]].

| In [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], "Mage" was sometimes used as a specific name for a non-specialist Wizard, attempting to define a generalist caster in the same way as the [[Abjurer]], [[Conjurer]], [[Diviner]], [[Enchanter]], [[Evoker]], [[Illusionist]], [[Necromancer]], or [[Transmuter]].

| If you came here looking for [[World of Darkness]], "Mage" can refer to one of two games: [[Mage: The Awakening]] and [[Mage: The Ascension]].

| Warhammer "Mages" exist, but are probably not worth distinguishing from Warhammer "Sorcerers" or "Wizards".
