>>96132411 (OP)
>Finnish Wizard
Wise, Tolkien style bard. But gets no bitches, women would rather kill themselves than be with him.

>>96132411 (OP)
I'll do you one better and do mages by race:
>human - evil vizier type character, though not always evil. Jafar would be a great example.
>elf - druidic sorts. The only elves you'll ever see wearing the skins of predators.
>gnome - stage magician, often complete with tails and bowtie (though never tophats).
>aarakocra - Chan buddhist monk, lots of meditation and practicing the he same rune one thousand times etc.
>golath - Women: kpop idol that performs miracles instead of singing/dancing. Men: bitter hermit outcast.
>waitanga - rustic seers, casting shells to make predictions. Often end up as raimeka (highly respected truth-seekers).
>aasimar - religious fanatic, probably surrounded by a cult following. Turning stones into loafs and whatnot.
>elkore - cliquey geeks that cast for casting's sake and get into long arguments over which runes are objectively better.
>dwarf - gypsy style curses and cures, popularized the concept of the "evil eye".

Chinese: ingest minerals and endangered animal organs to gain superpowers that make you untouchable to wizards of a lower tier

>>96137095
It's 'divination', you illiterate cretin. 'Deviation' is when something goes off course.

>>96132411 (OP)
Traditional games?

>>96138509>>96138509

Traditional games!

>>96132411 (OP)
USAnians would have no wizards, because they don't have culture, tradition, soul.

>>96132411 (OP)
>Middle East wizards
No such thing, magic is haram.

>>96137095
>Mystic of the Pythagorean school using math and numbers in his mysticism.
Is this really your go to for Greeks? Would you do anything else? Not complaining but I’m just curious.

There's all kinds of Greek and Roman mystery cults, Neo-Platonic schizos, pre-Socratic philosophers etc. I just like the idea of mathematicians and scientists being mages.

>>96137704
I can get some of these, like the elves being druids, but what inspired the rest, like goliaths and gnomes? Also, you didn’t say what kind of magic human mages would actually be able to do.

>>96138509
Mod status?

>>96138912
>magic is haram.
And that would STOP people from using it altogether instead of just keeping it secret?

>Danish Wizards
Invoking a curse that renders speech unintelligible.
>Icelandic Wizards
Summoning volcanic demons.
>>96138858
Could have wizards based on native American practices of the various regions. Vision quests to see the future. Totem spirirts. Etc. I am unfortunately not familiar enough with those people to give a very precise suggestion.

>>96132411 (OP)
European wizards : Build and invent everything that has ever mattered
Middle East wizards : Blow themselves up
Far East wizards : Get blazed on opium and rape children
South American wizards : Sacrifice women and children
Mexican wizards : Be unemployed
African wizards : Commit 75% of all crime
American wizards : Rule the world

>>96137704
What's an Elkore & where is Halfling?

>>96157608
NTA, but maybe halflings could specialize in stealth magic?

>>96138858
Maybe the USA could have mixes based on ancestry? Like maybe an American of Jewish and British descent could make golems out of plant matter and power them with fae deals, etc.?

>>96166519
I mean there's also like Native American shamans with Totems and spirits and all that

>>96137757
This explains so much

>>96166721
Well, we could have both?
