      In a lot of fantasy the terms are already neutral and only denote magical specialty. Witch - magic user, with a familiar, specialized in potions Warlock - magic user, specialized in the demonic Wizard - magic user focused on pure magic

        That’s how I’ve been playing it for years. Witches are folk hedges, barely closer to wizard than druid.
