Magic: As I explained in the forum threads and the new category definition, I am all in favour of merging "Wizards", "Sorceresses", "Sorcerers" and "Witches". But I feel like "Illusionists" and "Alchemists" should either remain a separate category, or get axed alltogether. Alchemy is closely related to Magic in the common folklore indeed, but this is a different science.

Truth to be told, this one is my biggest concern when I speak about turning a category into a dumping ground. I always said that we should keep it precise and concise. To keep the "Sorcerers" and "Witches" vibe and focus only on wielders of sorcery and spell-casting, rather than the too broad "magic".

Demons, fairies, genies, even sometimes ghosts and dragons can perform magic without necessarily (and rarely) mastering the sorcery trade. Before we know, all of these might be dumped in it. The aforementioned Darth Vader example is quite revealing. The now non-canon Star Wars Legends indeed gave the Force very strong sorcery vibes, and the Clone Wars saga included some elements, it belongs in Psychic Powers
