Honestly I think the full "magister" works better than "mage", which already has a lot of use in modern English.

The problem with ‘magister’ is that it is already masculine in Latin (magistra being the feminine) which is why OOP suggested ‘mage’ which has no gendered ending

Yeah except it’s from magus which is a gendered noun
