What's the difference between a mage and a wizard ?

Weeaboos say mage, but are wizards.
>>
>>333042641
Mage is gender neutral.
>>
>>333042641
pretty sure "mage" is the general term for practitioners of magic

all wizards are mages, not all mages are wizards
>>
Kotomine is neither, dude is like a fucking buff enchanted martial artist who's also proficient at a hundred different things.
>>
>>333042641
Wizards are high level damage dealers. Mage are heal sluts.

Mage is more of a general term for any magic user. A wizard is a scholarly mage.

>a fucking buff enchanted martial artist

So a monk?

>>333043424
Monk using throwing knives at a distance and martial arts up close, I guess.

Sleep tight, pupper.

Wizards have distinct attire and mannerism. Mages are filthy casuals.

Originally he was taught baji quan by his father, Risei, as a form of spiritual improvement, but through his blood-drenched experiences as an executor it was gradually sublimed into a warped version specialized at destroying the human body. Needless to say, the fact that he was so far off from his father's ideal form of kung fu was probably just one more thing he could not forgive himself for during his youth.

As one of the only survivors of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he inherited the role of supervisor.
He is qualified as an executor of the Church, and he specializes in spiritual healing.
Of course, despite being a first-class executor, he is still no match for the seventh member of the Burial Agency.
His excellent attack power against spiritual bodies is a testament to his unwavering (albeit distorted) faith.
Though he seems to enjoy destruction, he is actually a magus of “creation” just like Shirou. His ability to heal spiritual and mental injuries is at the level of a priest.
Wicked, but not a villain. Depraved, but not cruel.
He is the ultimate antagonist of Fate/stay night

The same as the difference between a cook and a chef.

And he'd be helpless if he tried to fight a little schoolgirl vampire.

I'm super fucking glad they decided to do three Heaven's Feel movies, since that route fleshes his character the most and explains that he's not just an edgy asshole like he was in Fate and UBW. His scenes are going to be stellar.

Especially the segment where he utterly and completely anally decimates Zouken and True Assassin.

Mage = user of magic
Wizard = male user of magic
Witch = female user of magic

Wizards are usually portrayed as scholarly types that learn magic in a school like setting. Alot of their spells are learned from books and usually require an incantation.

Mages are more like natural magic users. Their spells come from just thinking about it and having a strong mental constitution.

This isn't 100% the case for all of them but it seems to be the general standard.

You become a wizard if you remain a virgin till when you turn 30

And a mage is you remain a virgin till when you turn 20?

A Magus has transferred mana at least once.

A Wizard has NOT.

Don't ask me what the fuck difference there is between a Sorcerer and a Sourceror though. Fucking Belgians.

Mage is a character from fairy tale land that uses magic.

Wizards are most of the fags on this website

Mages use magic.
Wizards use wizardry.
It ain't rocket science.
