They are all the similar, it just depends on the type of literature you're reading or other form of media you're experiencing and the context that the word is being used.

MAGE = A magician or sorcerer.

WIZARD = One who practices magic; a sorcerer or magician.

WARLOCK = A male witch, sorcerer, wizard, or demon.

SOCERER = One who practices sorcery; a wizard.

**DEN3IS = that does not answer the question!

a mage is someone that deals with magic and is adept at it

a wizard is an experienced mage

sorcerer I usually think of a mage that focused on the elements.

No need to go there!

Alright many good answers. But in the majority of fantasy books or games its like this.
Witch is mainly what the guy who used where the words came from. An apothecary who does a little magick.
Warlock is a demon who controls other demons through magical means.
Sorceror is generally necromatic in power
Mage is short for magician. Although generally people use it to say master magician.
Magician is like we will say... Does tricks with magic and illusions. Like he could call up a fake fire and scare someone but it would be fake.
and last. Wizard deals in elemental magicks

I'm not sure what the diffrence is to be honest. But not all witchs use black magic, and I think a mage is someone who has more power with the elements like wind, fire and all that. A warlock is a male witch and Wizards were a part of ancient fantasy, they are offen used to storys, to help a knight, like in the childrens diseny film the sword and the stone. merlin helps arther. but I'm not sure what the actual different is, and if you are talking about fantasy witch's, then yes the use dark ways, and don't use there magic to help others but themselfs.
