battlemage
War-trained spell-caster
A battlemage is a fantasy character type combining martial combat with magical abilities—a warrior who casts spells while fighting.
The term appears in video games, tabletop RPGs, and fantasy fiction: I'm building a battlemage who uses frost spells and heavy armor.
Unlike pure wizards who stay at range, battlemages engage in close combat.
