EtymologyEdit

[view · edit · purge]Magus is the Latin word for "wizard". Its plural is Magi.

[view · edit · purge]A warlock is a male practitioner of evil magic (distinguished from a wizard or sorcerer, whose magic may be benign).

TriviaEdit

The Magus can be considered analogous to Black Wizards from the original Final Fantasy as both are upgrades to the Black Mage job class.
The Selenian Cap, one of the rewards for A Moogle Kupo d'Etat expansion in Final Fantasy XI, takes its design from Refia's version of the hat worn by this job class.
