Are we doing subgroups too, because inside say 'priest' there are about five thousand unique types of spell caster? This might take a while anyway! What about stuff we just make up on the spot, or is it broadly recognised only?

Yeah, a few priest types will probably be enough - then again we've got hundreds of mage type ones as well. Let's try for recognised stuff primarily, but if you want to make some up post it, but mark it with your username, so i can attribute it in the OP.

Okay, maybe be ready to put several definitions to one name as people mightn't all have the same ideas about it?

I've no clue which of those are original and which are inspired from other works, besides the obvious ones.

Hirebrand, or a Lillianrill - a worker of wood and master of wood lore, living or dead

Quote from: Bloody Stupid Johnson;689860Sourcerer - a living source of magical energy.

Shame on me!

Battlemage'd count too perhaps, a wizard who specialises in combat magics, usually employed by an armed force?

I'd also like to mention the often used trope of the Magic of Shadows and thieves, though I can't quite find a proper term for that type of magic (Shadowdancer/Arcane Trickster doesn't sound too good, though perhaps Shadowdancer? Manipulation of shadows etc etc?)
