the.com/mage

means A skilled practitioner of magic, especially one who learned it through formal study and disciplined mastery rather than folk tradition.

from From French mage, from Latin magus, from Greek magos — the term for the priestly caste of ancient Persia (the Magi, famed as astrologers and wise men). The word's deep root is Old Persian, tied to the Magu priesthood. It traveled through Greek and Latin picking up the sense of 'sorcerer,' eventually landing in English as both 'magic' itself and, later, 'mage' as a tidy, scholarly-sounding label for a worker of it.
