Actually, Jeff, the generic term that FASA uses (or at least that Steve
Kenson, their primary magic writer uses) is "magician."

A magician is anyone capable of tossing spells.

A mage is a hermetic magician.

A shaman is obviously a shamanic magician.

And so on down the line, with different traditions. But the "correct" term
for the generic "wizworm" isn't mage, it's magician.

Doesn't look, at first glance, like much of a difference, but it's there.
