Wizard. Or mage. Seirously, why put both there?
Anyway, which sounds cooler:
"Using the raw power of my will, I draw forth the unlimited powering force of the universe to write my desires onto the tapestry of the world. Such is the impossible strength of the energy that I must weaken and focus it into a more managable form with the arcance gestuers, words of power and items found in this realm and beyond"
vs.
"I swing my sword at him. And try to hit him in the neck."
Y'know, these are the kind of comparisons I hate. I can twist it the other way too, by the way.
Which sounds cooler:
Spending years of your life training endlessly to harmonize both your mind and body around this weapon that has become part of your being, a reflection of your soul. This mix of steel and leather that has become an example of your dedication and honor and has become as much a companion to you as anyone you've traveled with. Toiling to perfect both form and instinct to become a warrior with no equal. Besting foe after foe until you rise above the rest and become master of your own form that you may pass down to others.

I wave my hand and fire appears.
Both have their merits, and no choice is better than another.
I would choose bard, incidentally. Being able to kick someones ass with a song is just too funny sometimes.
