Hi Cryptic,
Could you or someone else please clarify the difference in meaning of the words:
- mage / magician (practices the original and archaic form of magic ?)
- sorcerer (practices a newer, more of a trick-oriented sort of magic ?)
- wizard (don't know. An umbrella term for both ?)
- warlock (the witch amongst the wizards. Practices a darker form of magic, herbage magic ?)
- enchanter (don't know. Like he can enchant things, make animals speak and such ?)
- witchmaster (probably only the title of a bad horror flic ?)
- shaman (practices a form of natural magic. Is 'one' with the environment, could probably act on animals ?)
- necromancer (practices the darkest form of magic. Occupies himself with the study of death and its borders ?)
Thanks in advance. Sorry for thread hijacking here.
Greetings, Fragbait
