Magician

In Middle-Earth a Magician is a user of a kind of magic power.Most elves have magic powers they see as simple skills ("Kuru") or deep lore ("ñólë").

Tolkien considered Beorn a Magician, due to his ability to change into a bear, as well as Sauron and the Nazgûl are called Magicians.In eastern and southern Middle-Earth magical cults and traditions were founded by the Ithryn Luin.

The Heren Istarion used the mask of the travelling conjurer, Illusionist or Charlatan as a cover for their true identity as great Maiar spirits.

Magicians may be known as Wizards (especially those of the Heren Istarion), Sorcerers (especially those alligned with the dark lords), Witches or wise.

Also many smiths, Minstrels, Artisans, Warriors and Healers had magic abilities.The Seers and Prophets may also be considered Magicians.
