Magecraft This is the artificial reenactment of a miracle, True Magic aka Sorcery. Also called Thaumaturgy. It is common practice today as few in the world posses the capability for sorcery. Noted that sorcery is not just The Five Sorceries rather it is the application of creating an actual element whereas magecraft is merely a "projection" of an element. Though extremely rare it is possible for magecraft to be near the level of Sorcery.
Sorcery Also called True Magic or Sorcery depending on translation. If magecraft is an imitation of an element sorcery is a true element. Rather, it is not a falsified element. It is held by few in the world as the knowledge to use and capability was lost over the years. Spacial, Resurrection, etc are all apart of sorcery or in other words a level in which science can not reproduce even through time or money. Though the Five Sorceries are True Magics it is not limited to just them as a simple fireball can also be described as True Magic as it is real not fake.
Magic Circuits These act as as pseudo-nervous system that is spread out on the body of a human qualifying the person to be a magus. Their function is to convert life energy into mana allowing use of magic. If mana is the force that actualizes magic then these can be considered "pipelines" that transmit that energy. Their quality and amount vary from individual which is determined by output per times the number.
Magus Also called a mage the term magus is singular where as magi is plural. A magus is a human with magic circuits which allows them the use of magic. Noted, there are various terms that come along with a magus.
Magus - The basic term for modern day magi. To be a magus one must "live the life as a mage". Meaning even though someone uses magic that does not make them a magus.
Sorcerer - A person whom has achieved the level of True Magic.
Witch - A level beyond Sorcerer. Whereas Sorcerers still use magic circuits a Witch turns their entire body into a circuit itself. Their capabilities are so extreme and rare it is unknown just what their limits are. Generally considered a "monster" they are "an existence that is no longer human". They bypass the need for circuits since their body is a massive circuit itself having massive amounts of mana.
Spell User - Consider these humans that have magic circuits but do not live the life as a magus. They generally lack the knowledge and skill many magi have. Thus the term "Spell User" where it is just a human wielding the power that is magic.
