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:
“The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
The plainsong cuckoo grey,
Whose note full many a man doth mark
And dares not answer nay.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
