The main reason to play a mage.

[WokeCat]

IDK how accurate that is. I never saw anyone call a magician a mage until after WoW came out. Actually remember getting cursed out for calling mages "magicians" on WoW when it first released and had people lecture me about mage meaning magic user.

According to WoW their mages are wizards, so like, IDK dude.

Ive seen "mage class" in various MMOs and MOBAs refer to basically any type of pure magic caster, the same way you have the fighter classes, priest classes etc.

i know what people mean when they say mage of course, for the same reason i know what a shammy or chanter means, but i dont think people were running around in 1999 calling magicians mages lol

i think that was picked up after the release of WoW even though it never originally referred to magicians

i just checked, and even everquest lore refers to miragul as a powerful mage btw even though we know him as a necromancer
