Properties

As an archetype, divine magicians are deities who are powerfuly trained enchanters, sages, seers, sorcerers, sorceresses, witches, warlocks, wizards etc.. that represent the art and study of divine magics, and all other forms magics as well as the magic of the deities culture they come from. These types of sorcerer deities were fairly present in mythology and were also revered or greatly feared by mortals and some of their own people.

Unlike transcendent mages and magic deities who are magicians who can/or have ascended to godhood through magic, or were born as gods of magic itself so needed no training with magic and also can embody magic itself, or even it's source; whereas divine magicians were already divine beings who weren't necessarily born to it but have learned magic through study and practice are much more powerful then that of transcendent mages who were once mortal and slightly weaker then that as gods of magic who are a part of magic. Divine magicians in question also can be a god of magic which would not only makes them even more powerful but also more dangerous with formal training and mastery over all forms of magic.
