The Circle of Magic (Spoilers all books incl City of Dragons)

[Farseer]

Will we see a true RotE 'mage' emerge , if we haven't already?

Nothing too significant to add except this other, small reference to a mage, with regard to just the Skill this time, from the very beginning of Chapter Three, 'The Quest' in AQ:

...It can lure the practitioner into an addiction to Skilling, one which eventually saps all mental and physical strength, to leave the mage a great, drooling babe.

Given this and my previous references to a 'mage' in this thread, it seems apparent that we already DO have mages within the RotE, despite the term not being overly common/used throughout the realm eg Neither Fitz or Verity etc consider themselves 'mages' as far as I can determine?

While this suggests that all who have a Skill ability are mages, a mage could obviously be the term given to anyone who has an ability in any of the 'greater' magics?
