In need of name ideas for magic users
For context, the setting I'm working on is sort of a 1970s Gothic Horror thing with a lot of Fairytale Logic/Theming and sort of an intense and oppressive local religion. It's kind of a soft magic system, very vibes-based, but I think it's pretty tied to lifeforce. Like blood, the earth, the skies, stuff like that.
In my head, the magic users are basically split into arbitrary categories based more on their social standing and how much the community likes them rather than what they're actually capable of doing, with the majority being considered witches that need to be dealt with as such - but there's another category that tend to be lauded as mystical miracle workers that have a vibe to them somewhat inspired by the Mistresses from Pathologic. Not looking to steal the name, though.
But yeah, if anyone has some ideas for what to call this more idolised type of magic user, that would be super helpful!!
