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:
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There’s not a note of mine that’s worth the noting.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
