Seriously, posting around this has been driving me nuts! Is it "Magi" or is "Magus" singular and plural, or what? |

Magi, as in Gift of the. Mage or Magus would be singular, and this game uses Magus. |

Besides, while "Maguses" or "Magesses" are fun to say, people then start tripping over their tongues. Not a pretty picture and then poor Master Healer Malakor gets stuck trying to fix the mess. :) |

They are correct, the plural is magi. Goose/Geese. Moose/Meese. Mouse/Mice. House/Hice. Gotta love the English language. (and yes the second pairing are wrong, but they are fun) |

I tend to mix things up, using mage sometimes and magus other times. They both refer to players or NPCs. Mage -> Mages Magus -> Magi Let me know if I made a mistake in my usage on a page somewhere. :) Kep |
