What does "magent" mean?
« on: October 09, 2007, 11:46:56 AM »
You know, there's "Magent" as one of the available professions in RMSS/FRP core rulebooks.

While playing RMFRP in Japanese, I recognized that there's no entry as "magent" in any major English dictionaries available at hand. ???

Is "Magent" a coinage from "Mage" or something? What kind of image does the word "Magent" have?

Thanks.

I think it is supposed to be a contraction of "Magical Agent" or "Mage/Agent" ... but essentially it is a made-up name and means nothing.

I always took it for Mentalist(ism) Agent. As Cormac said though, who knows.

(Or, per the reply below, it's meant "RMSS version of a Nightblade")

To me it's always meant 'Ninja'.
