In historical, mythological and demonological contexts a male "witch" is more frequently termed a wizard, sorcerer, warlock, or simply a magician.
Male witches who practice as such as part of a Wiccan or Pagan belief system disapprove of the term 'Warlock' as the accepted meaning of the word is 'Oath breaker,' or one who has abandoned the coven.
Male witches have most often been titled sorcerers, wizards, or warlocks despite Wiccan and Neopagan dislike for the latter, possibly due to its roots in the Old English wærloga* meaning "faith breaker".

 Purple review
Not many works of IF are spellbinding or even compelling from beginning to end; a game with a few memorable moments or some good puzzles may be remembered fondly and replayed often, even if the rest of the game is undistinguished.
This is not to suggest that Purple, Stefan Blixt's entry in the 1998 competition, is in Sorcerer's league; it's not.
Technical problems abound as well: there are a few crashes, a major disambiguation problem, and one character who consistently asks you for something no matter how often you give it to him.

For other uses of the term or name "Sorcerer", see sorcerer (disambiguation).
Soceress appears also in the late 14th century, while sorcerer is only attested from 1526.
The conceptual relationship between religion and magic is similar to the relationship between "religion" and paganism, whereas "religion" refers to a system of established beliefs, and "magic" and "pagan" are labels used by people within that system to describe beliefs and practices that conflict with or are outside of that system.

A Druid or Sorcerer should use similar tactics but with HMMs and at about Magic Level 50 or so to make it worth the runes used.
Sorcerers can do the same thing but with Wand of Cosmic Energy but you'll take more time to kill one.
Note that these are not really hunted since they cause a lot of damage for little loot, they are mostly just in the way when you are trying to get somewhere.

 Aladdin - Avoo - Ask Us A Question - Aladdin (a corruption of the Arabic name 'Alā 'ad-Dīn, Arabic: علاء ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The story concerns an impoverished young ne'er-do-well in a city of China named Aladdin, who is recruited by a sorcerer from the Maghreb in the far west, who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father; to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave.
For a narrator unaware of the existence of America, Aladdin's land would represent "the Utter East" while the sorcerer's homeland of Morocco represented "the Utter West" (the name "Morocco" is itself a corruption of the Arabic for "West", and the story introduces the sorcerer as "a westerner").
In the beginning of the tale, the sorcerer's taking the effort to make such a long journey, the longest conceivable in the narrator's (and his listeners') perception of the world, underlines the sorcerer's determination to gain the lamp and hence the lamp's great value.

 Warlock - Gurupedia
Warlocks are, among historic Christian traditions, said to be the male equivalent of witches (usually in the pejorative sense of Europe's Middle Ages), and were said to ride pitch-forks (six foot two-tined forks, for manoeuvering unbound hay) instead of broomsticks.
The Anglo-Saxon warlock was not considered good or evil; he was believed to be able to heal, to cause disease, to cast or break spells, and to divine past, present and future, all this mainly by means of the runes.
By extension, it became a synonym of sorcerer and wizard, and also of a typical medieval diabolical male witch (in this sense either able to fly in several ways, see

No need to rename the toolset ones IMO, since the distinctive part of their names is not the "Wizard" part but what they work on ("Item" etc.).
For the class, since there was no existing disambiguated class, I followed the standard disambiguation format.
One bonus to that format is that, if the ambiguous title is already in case-insensitive search form, the disambiguated article page will be as well.

Exactly.  The best answer to this question is framed in what the game provides, not what it is about.  It's about the tools, concepts, and (perhaps most importantly) the opportunities which are offered to the social environment.

Public relations-wise, Vodou has come to be associated in the popular mind with such phenomena as "zombies" and "voodoo dolls." While there is evidence of zombie creation, it is a minor phenomenon within rural Haitian culture and not a part of the Vodou religion as such.
Such things fall under the auspices of the bokor or sorcerer rather than the priest of the Lwa.
The practice of sticking pins in dolls has history in European folk magic, but its exact origins are unclear.
