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:
“What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
And all alone comes riding there
The King that could make his people stare,
Because he had feathers instead of hair.
A slow low note and an iron bell.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No, in your rural letter box
I leave this note without a stamp
To tell you it was just a tramp
Who used your pasture for a camp.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
