Obviously we know that the most powerful Mage in Warcraft is arguably the most powerful being in the universe period, but that doesn’t mean that all mages are that powerful in general. With that mean said, Mages can reach some terrifying heights of power.
However, the Evoker seems to be special, even amongst their own people. Every Evoker is a Dracthyr, but not every Dracthyr is an Evoker. They have the power of the aspects themselves ingrained into them. Every single one of the aspects. That’s a fairly impressive starting point in terms of power level.
Do we know which is more powerful on average? (Again, Lore, not in-game.)

I don’t know how to play a augmentation evoker. I am just flying with eyes close, kinda like when I’m dragonriding. I get dizzy when I’m flying fast.
Mkay. Let’s not use him as an example for power levels.

It’s mage. Evokers have been presented to be one of the weaker hero classes tbh. They lack the power death knights have because they’re not undead and they haven’t been empowered with fel, the strongest of the current magic types, like demon hunters have.

It’s probably a mage. There’s a reason the majority of the most powerful people in lore are this class.
Like any comic book story, the characters in WoW are exactly as powerful as they need to be for that moment in the story, until they’re not.

That’s a tough question! I bet an average evoker would destroy an average mage one on one.
I would say mage. Tbh, your average mage and evoker or going to be powerful but hard to measure since they are pretty much neck and neck. If you talk about big hitter mages like, Azshara and jaina and medhiv, mages win all around. We have yet to see a really powerful evoker
They both harness powerful magic, regardless of the type. I always thought of them as Mage being the Wizard from DnD, and the Evoker being the Sorcerer.
I think it would be hard to say which is more powerful in the long term since we do not have a decent pool of Evokers, but we have seen Mages do some truly amazing things.
Remember when Jaina, one of the strongest mages in the world, just walked menacingly at the horde escaping?
Remember when Thalyssra, one of the strongest mages in the world l, cowered at an angry Genn and Jaina walking menacingly?
Power levels mean nothing xD.
Jaina with a pirate ship.

Mages are second only to warlocks.

No. When was that said? The only people in lore that’s ever had that title is Azshara, Medivh and his mother.
Lorewise, probably Mages. The evokers can harness the power of five dragonflights. They cannot cast Holy, Shadow, or Fel spells. From what I understand, the Aspects gained their abilities from the Titans. Mages do not.
Mages can learn different magic schools such as divine, nature, shadow, or necromancy. They even can learn illusion, divination, transmutation, or enchantment magics.
It’s a long list, they can use a wide range of spells while Evokers can only use five dragonflight abilities.
Depends.
The most powerful evoker we know of right now is essentially just a fledgling. Fully powered up then they’d have access to all core elements that make up the flights which mean that they would have access to all forms of magic native to Azeroth. But the strongest mages tend to go a bit beyond just what is native to a place, and then also have access to places such as Karazhan to tap into the full power of the leylines. Effectively making a mage like Medivh or Khadgar on-par with Kalecgos, not quite in the physical department but in terms of arcane power they’d be on par.
So… it really just depends.

In-universe lore, a mage and warlock is the exact same thing.
The only difference is that the mage got killed when summoning the demon, and the warlock prepared better.

Huh? Since when they can use Shadow, Fel, or Necromancy?
Edit: Forgot Holy too.

Are those native, though?
Kinda, but warlocks have no restrictions, whereas there are some lines a mage will never cross.
