The thing is, I came up with that waaaayyy back when there were no sorcerers  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  In first edition, 9th level magic users were called sorcerers... I've always liked the term 'sorcery' over 'magic' or 'wizardry', hence, the choice of words. That no longer applies, as you have pointed out (and, bottom line, Lauralie is YOUR setting, so you pick and choose what is most aesthetically pleasing to you  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  )I like your version. Arcane Keys... has a very nice sound, and works fine for both wizards and sorcerers. Consider also referring to the level of ability of a spellcaster as: an 'Adept of the Lesser Keys" or perhaps a 'Master of the Lesser Arcane Keys"... I think I got the idea for the word Key from the Lesser Key of Solomon, which is a historical treatise on magic, if I am not mistaken. (Will have to Wikipedia that...)Perhaps one could even say :an Adept or Master of the Third Key? Third Arcane Key? Third Order?  ... That way you know he's a 5th level spellcaster...Clerical magic could be an "Initiate of the Lesser Mysteries." Maeglin</blockquote>
