The last one (about this matter) I do hope! What would be mages' hierarchy if they have one? How magic and mages are considered in your world and its societies and cultures?
Among arcane casters, there is a definite level of respect between mentors and students. After that, a person rises in the hierarchy depending on such things as magical contributions, discoveries, magical prowess, or accomplishing deeds that can be seen as impressive or admirable. The more valuable an asset you seem, the more respect you earn, and thus the higher in the unspoken hierarchy you sit. Outside of arcane circles, the view of magic and mages will vary from place to place as well as person to person. But as a whole the general consensus is something along the lines of: Wizards are respected for the amount of time and dedication they give to their craft, Sorcerers are impressive but need a level of caution when dealing with due to them housing such raw power, and Warlocks....be wary of warlocks because who knows WHAT they traded to in order to obtain magical powers.
