Mage

A person wearing a wizard hat and robes and holding a staff.

The 🧙 Mage emoji represents wizards, spellcasters, magic, and fantasy characters. It’s often used in posts about role-playing games, Halloween, storytelling, or magical thinking.

In figurative contexts, it can mean someone who’s wise, clever, strategic, or has a “mystical” level of skill in a certain area. It’s popular in gaming culture, fantasy fandoms, and meme-based jokes about using “spells” to get through life.

Variants include 🧙‍♂️ (Man Mage) and 🧙‍♀️ (Woman Mage).
