Quote:Just an oddball question, but how does "Mage" differ from "Magical Girl" besides... well, as Megamind puts it, "Presentation"?
Okay, this is a gross over-generalization but...
Technically, a "mage" is anyone with an inborn talent for magic. That said, mages/wizards are magic-users whose power and repertoire are born of study and effort. Magical girls, on the other hand, are usually instinctive magic users -- they have abilities they didn't study to learn, and of which they may show total mastery the first time they use them -- or they are device users whose devices do all the heavy lifting for them.
