battle mage
Fighting magic wielder
A battle mage is a fantasy archetype combining martial combat with magical ability—a spellcaster who fights on the front lines rather than from safety.
The term appears in games, novels, and roleplaying systems where characters must choose between physical and magical specialization: She built her character as a battle mage, wearing heavy armor while casting fireballs.
Unlike pure wizards who are fragile, battle mages trade raw magical power for survivability in close combat.
