<upd_detl>My current anime translates as "mage", and that seems like a useful fit to me. eijiro marks as "dated"〈古〉, but that seems a bit silly as "mage" is quite common in the English genres where this term might be used. (role playing games, historical fantasy, etc.)
The fact that it's used in a recently produced/translated anime kind of makes that point for me (Frieren). I believe "mage" was a character class way back in Final Fantasy I for the NES in the late 80s.
I'd also note in favor of this term, none of the other terms here would work particularly well as a substitute in this scenario. magician has modern slight-of-hand connotations. Wizards are men, witches are women, and sorcerer's are a bit too over-the-top powerful in a society with a lot of general "everyday" magic.</upd_detl>
