Rukathesoldier & Drakwind are correct...it's mages - probably from magister which comes in from Latin for 'master' during the Medieval period. "Magi" on the other hand, probably comes in from the Dark Ages, and seems to be a reference to Zoroastrians - which are often enough portrayed in threes (e.g. the "three wise men") which is probably a reference to the old Zoroastrian "three wse monkeys" proverb ("Hear no evil. See no evil, Speak no evil.")
