Seraviel Wrote:I'd personally go with wacker or wicker (wizard + hacker). There are plenty of fun connotations there, such as wicker making on think of basket weaving, ie weaving magic together, and wacker pointing both toward wacko (ie, a loony, such as our dear Douglas) and whack (ie, a strong hit, which anyone proefficient with magic hacking could give to a lot of people)
And from the chaotic wand movements required...
Something a little mundane-sounding, but 'Magician' might be worth it. Something that starts out sort of snotty and derisive - "It's not real magic!!one" - but sort of becomes adopted and backported to be a contraction of Magic Mathematician or something. Something that implies mastery and understanding of the base principals, rather than stick-twaddling by rote and tradition.
