Final Fantasy Series
The wizards of the Final Fantasy series are usually known as simply mages, often with an associated color. There are multiple types of mages:
- Black Mages, mages who practice offensive magic.
- Blue Mages, mages who copy enemy abilities.
- Red Mages, mages who are jacks-of-all-trades.
- Summoners, mages who conjure up sacred beasts and deities.
- Time Mages, mages who manipulate time and space.
- White Mages, mages who practice healing magic.
- Green Mages, mages who practice Green Magic, which enhances allies' abilities and weakens enemies.
In the original Final Fantasy, the Black, Red and White Mages would be converted to more powerful Black, Red, and White Wizards, respectively. Additionally, in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI, "wizard" is synonymous for Black Mage. Also, in Final Fantasy Tactics, Black Mages were known as Wizards in the PlayStation 1 version of the game. Other Final Fantasy series featured Green Mages, mainly in the Tactics titles, but some of their abilities were merged with Black Mages or White Mages (offensive and defensive abilities respectively).

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
