This is a response to a question I had received: What is the difference between a Magician and a Wizard?
Magicians are classic magic-users in the fantasy setting, encompassing a wide variety of typologies and practice. The form of which they take differs wildly and is highly dependent on the fantasy setting.
In contrast, Wizards are more type-specific. They are typically wise old men who study magic as a profession through hard work and discipline. Intellectually oriented, they typically guide the hero through personal development and orienting them to actualize their potential. Wizards are typically old, being that it is sometimes considered that one requires this period of time to be a true wizard. While wizards can be evil, the concept is usually referred to by another name, such as sorcerer or warlock, though this is highly contingent upon fantasy setting.
