Magi in fantasy fiction and games
A "Mage" is a character archetype commonly found in fantasy settings that entail the use of magic. ''Mage'', rather than ''magus'', is the spelling generally used to describe magic-wielding characters in role-playing games and fiction. In the English language, the term "mage" is used as a gender-neutral word for a character who can cast magic spells.
==Usage==
Mages are generally portrayed as people who have the ability to control or wield the forces of magic. The term is popularly used in fantasy settings that involve magic. In the paper role-playing games, magic-using individuals appear in ''Mage: The Ascension'' and ''Dungeons & Dragons''. In the game Ars Magica, the main characters are known as magi. Mages are sometimes in role-playing video games as playable character classes and/or non-player characterss (NPCs) such as ''Ultima'', ''Final Fantasy'', ''Dragon Warrior'', ''Diablo'', ''World of Warcraft'', ''Ragnarok Online'', and ''EverQuest''. Sometimes, other classes in those games also use magic, though they are not habitually referred to as mages. Mages aren't always people who perform magic for entertainment. In some games, a mage may also be known as a wizard, sorceress, or witch, or they may advance to different positions on tiers. In many fantasy settings, the term relates to character that rely almost exclusively on their spells to solve problems.
