It amazes me that a question like this can spur so much discussion.

What do you call a female wizard?  What do you call
a MALE wizard?  What IS a wizard anyway?  All these questions depend
on how you and your friends run your game.  Come up with your own
names, gosh darn it!  Geez.

A more interesting question might be:  What different concepts of the
origin and use of magik do people have in their FRP worlds?

I'd really like to see a discussion on this, since the origin of
magik is usually so ill-defined in FRP systems.
