Odd... Dictionary.com says that Magi is the plural of Magus not Mage. Which would make sense because quite a few English words that end in -us use -i in the plural form.

Also found an interesting conversation on a WOW forum arguing for both forms.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mages#English

I think if you are going to rule mages isn't a word then you have to rule that mage isn't a word either.

???E? because MAGES = 3 but MAGUS = 2 and E/U is the only difference.

-edit-

And thank you TheChad08. ( I think it is silly for some of the evil dictionary people to allow a modernization of magus to mage but enforce the archaic plural of magi. I also played as a mage for a bit on a RP server in wow during the whole Northrend thing. I think I channelled that character for a bit there. Crazy trouble making gnomes... )

I don't quite know how to score it anymore. I think this whole "Logic the answer" is kind of a joke. When you get a 5 it is pretty easy to logic the answer.

So we need to add points for Rob_Gandy getting it right and for me hosting.

P.S. I'm surprised it took so long to guess GAMES.
