The word ''magnus'' means "great" in Latin, being where we get the terms "magnification", "magnitude", and similar words relating to large size or figurative greatness. For example, UsefulNotes/PompeyTheGreat was called Gnaeus Pompeius [[TheMagnificent Magnus]]. However, in fantasyland, it seems to mean "great mage." Most of the times you see a character named Magnus in a fantasy work, he is a mage, wizard or something like that. It probably doesn't help that ''magus'', the actual Latin word for "mage," is just one RougeAnglesOfSatin away.

While Magnus in that series *is* a demigod, that does not equate to being a mage. His friend Hearthstone is much more of a mage than Magnus is.


* ''Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard'': The titular character is a demigod.
