No, a female warlock is a witch. Although it’s usually mentioned the other way around, a warlock is considered to be a male witch.

Witch exists as a term, but isn’t generally used as an umbrella term for female mages. There are the harvest-witches of Gilneas, the witches of Drustvar, naga sea witches, and of course troll witch doctors. As for regular mages, Lor’themar once used the term “witch” in a derogatory fashion to describe Jaina.
For gendered terms, there’s magister vs. magistrix for elven mage titles.

A male witch is called a Warlock, Rowling played VERY loose with those terms. The term Warlock means “oath breaker”. Both generally refer to practitioners of dark magics male or female.
Surprisingly not ONE lady in the cast or books takes offense to being called a “witch” instead of sorceress, Mage, Wizard, etc. You’d think being called a Witch or Warlock in Harry potter’s world would be like shouting “Death Eater!” at them…
WoW actually has witches, and they use a kind of twisted druidic magic.
A female mage is just a mage.
There are. Gnomes treat light like any other kind of magic, so a Gnome priest isn’t actually a priest. They’re just a light mage.

My understanding is that mage, witch, warlock, etc… are particular schools of magic learned over a lifetime, with some you have to had been born into and have an affinity/natural talent for.
Witch is one of those.
Mage? Idk, I don’t think so but I could be wrong. They come from the magi school and iirc, magi were spirits who get trapped into doing things for mortal people.
Warlocks were early alchemists and proficient in creating weapons of destruction. The dudes who made the nuclear bomb would be known as warlocks.
Not sure where “demons” come from in Blizzards warlock lore but there’s a lot I don’t know so there’s probably a basis for it.
I always thought “demons” were more a sorcerous kind of thing and anyone willing to sell their souls (the way of thinking at that time) were considered sorcerers, because they needed other entities to do their bidding as they had no magic of their own.
Ingame, not sure where they came up with the warlock and mage theme. Probably loosely borrowed from real life lore.
She turned me into a newt!
Mage is just a label for all magic users in wow that isnt a druid or warlock. The ones that use fire/frost/arcane magic. There’s no male and female terms for class names.

Witches and Warlocks are dark arts practitioners, often associated with having bargained their powers from the biblical devil and demons. Which is why I find Rowling using the term “witch” amusing… you’d think it’d be a slur, since, you know, being a practitioner of the dark arts in that universe is usually equivocal to Voldemort or other nefarious personages.
It’d be like yelling “terrorist” or such at random ladies you don’t know IRL.
In Spanish a male mage is mago and a female mage is maga. But while mage and magician exists as distinct words in English…these both translate to mago in Spanish.
Yeah, name yourself magamage. That should make things interesting.
wouldn’t witch be for warlock or shaman
think sorceress would be for mage
No. A witch practices witchcraft. We master the arcane.
