__NOEDITSECTION____NONEWSECTIONLINK__ Just a general style question: is there a preference for the way to represent the plural of mage? I have seen both mages and magii on this wiki. I can't find a definition for magii, ([1]) but the term magi is valid, though it refers specifically to priests from ancient Persia. Most fictional/fantasy references use the simpler plural mages, but I don't want to change the spelling from one to the other unless there's a clear preference. Kutulu 12:12, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Kutulu 12:12, 14 June 2007 (CDT) According to dictionary.com, magi is a plural of magus, and as you stated, there is no magii. I think mages is more appropriate, as it is the closer plural of mage. --theSpectator talk 13:10, 14 June 2007 (CDT) IMO mages is best. --Avfanatic 18:40, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
