Answer 2

Impossible. There are simply way too many to list. Every culture has their own little variations, and you didn't specify where the line is to be drawn with regards to what is magic and what isn't.



If divine intervention counts as magic, then any Christian priest or minister is a magic user. Same with a Jewish rabbi, and so on and so forth.



Even if you only go with people who directly control the forces of nature (instead of just asking a god to do them a favour), the list is still a mile long. You've got certain shamans, bokors, wizards, witches, warlocks, alchemists, wiccans, mages, mambos, houngans, fakirs... and that's just a few that I can think of right now.



You do have a couple of non-magic examples in your question, though. Illusionists don't employ magic of any kind, they simply perform illusions. And the Chi thing, according to those who believe in it, is simply a 100% natural life force. To the Chinese, chi is no more magical than the air we breathe.

Answer 3

Sorcerer/Sorceress

Wizard/Witch



and here is 2 I made up, that you might be able to put in your fantasy novel:

Magician - (actually I think this one has already been made:|) A person who uses magic in rhymes

Sand Master - pulls sand out of nowhere and thinks of a spell and sometimes rubes sand together to be professional and throws sand and spell is castes

Answer 4

Good, explanation on my own would not suffice if its from ANIME or MANGA best SUMMON = magic spell for calling a spirit, like 12 zodiacs spirit in FAIRY TAIL NECROMANCY = magic utilising corpses or cranium, like in SHAMAN KING ALCHEMY = buying and selling an equal amount of factor or vigour to supply anything else, like in FULL steel ACHEMIST VOODOO = magic to curse or manage different making use of a doll a section of the individual that you wish to have to manage ONMYODO = japanese SHAMAN that may manage spirit or deity using detailed spell (KEKKAI) and paper written with spell MAGIC RITES = magic that requires recitation of magic spell and supplying of fee like giving one's body part i.E lifestyles some magic would require instruments like magic paper or curse doll, some magic will require power/air of mystery/chakra, some magic will require casting magic spell, some magic will require fee like giving blood and some magic will require contract or biding. Quality to simply read SHAMAN KING, there's really plenty of explanation there. + emo
