Mancer - Magic User

A mancer is a magic user that is limited to yielding a specific type of magic. The most famous types of mancers are pyromancer and necromancer.

To find the name of a mancer, you take the name of the element the mancer yields and add the suffix mancer to it.

When naming mancers, you should look at languages such as Latin.

Here is the list of mancers I’ve used in my stories, and some I’ve encountered.

In my book, Princess in the Clouds, I have twenty elements, organized according to the five Platonic solids.

The Elements

Base Elements
The four-sided Tetrahedron has Earth, Water, Air, and Fire to give the base elements.

Four-sided Tetrahedron	Geomancer	Earth
	Aquamancer	Water
	Aeromancer	Air
	Pyromancer	Fire

Extended Elements
Add Metal and Lightning to get the six-sided Hexahedron or cube. This gives us the extended elements.

Six-sided Hexahedron	Electromancer	Lightning
	Ferrummancer	Metal

(Metal is silver, but I couldn’t find the proper color)

Natural Elements
Add Nature and Power to get the eight-sided Octahedron. This gives us the natural elements.

Eight-sided Octahedron	Naturamancer	Nature
	Potentmancer	Power

Master Elements
Add Life, Death, Light and Dark to get the twelve-sided Dodecahedron. This gives us the master elements.

Twelve-sided Dodecahedron	Animamancer	Life
	Necromancer	Death
	Luminomancer	Light
	Umbramancer	Darkness

(Death is gray, as in gray hair)

Creative Elements
Add the four Divine elements and four Demonic elements to get the twenty-sided Icosahedron. This gives us the creative elements

Twenty-sided Icosahedron	Divine elements	1
		2
		3
		4
	Demonic elements	5
		6
		7
		8

(Unfortunately, I haven’t decided what the Divine and Demonic elements are.)

Additional Mancer Types

In addition, we can define specialized mancers, seen in many places.
