By contrast, there are [Wizards], who would be considered more scholarly and wield magics in the form of prepared spells or items. It would be easiest to understand them as ''[Mages] who rely on wands'', whereas a [Mage] may choose to use an artifact or not as the situation demands.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/14/7-29-b/ Chapter 7.29 B]</ref> One is a general class, the other is specific, even cumbersome to obtain.

[Shamans] get their magic from their community's collective power rather than their own innate potential, as well as from traditions and ideas. This also means it cannot be conventionally suppressed, like with anti-magic zones, but instead by shaking the community's will. Most species lean either towards arcane magic like [Mages] or towards shamanic magic, with the only species having an equitable mix of the two being [[Humans]] (who typically lean towards one depending on the civilization), [[Garuda]], and formerly [[Gnolls]].<ref name=":1" />
