Note
In some fictional and game settings, wizard or a similar term is the name for a "race" or species, not just a job title.
For example:
- "Black Mages" and "White Mages" and occasionally even "Red Mages" and "Blue Mages" in the video game series Final Fantasy.
- "Demon Sorcerers" in the TV show Jackie Chan Adventures
- In some of the Legend of Zelda series, some antagonist magicians appear as beings called Wizrobes. They can appear as a hooded bird or simply an old man with a cane.
- In the Harry Potter series, "wizards" are a race of people distinct from their non-magical "muggle" counterparts. When wizards and muggles interbreed, their offspring are said to be "half-blood," which have powers apparently equivalent to full wizards.

Famous quotes containing the word note:
“To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspiriting but almost wiry sound, was first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang. This was the prevailing bird in the northern part of Maine. The forest generally was alive with them at this season, and they were proportionally numerous and musical about Bangor. They evidently breed in that State.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
