Bible5e Lore
Mage
"Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers; the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts."
Exodus 7:11
Practitioners of Magic. There is no shortage of magic users in the Bible, although the source of their magic is not always clear. While some work wonders given to them by the power of God, others instead study the arcane arts in an attempt to wield power by virtue of their own intellect. Still others may seek out power by making deals with demons of great influence. Whatever the source of their power, these magic users are collectively referred to as "Mages."
Advisors to the Throne. It is common practice in most small kingdoms for the King to be advised by a mage. Whether or not a Mage comes by their power honestly, many rulers consider the ability to wield magic synonymous with great discipline and wisdom, and therefore Mages can be found in influential positions in many kingdoms, including Cyprus, Babylon, and Thebes, to name a few.
