Is Grey mage a proper noun or an normal noun? That is is grey a description of the mage or the actual name? Cause if it's the description, then do you mind if I call you GREY MAGE?

(It's been bugging me for a while....and now it's OUT whew...)

It's funny you said that, I had this discussion with somebody else on the forum. You are Correct in English, It's Grey, however in America we spell it Gray. I took the liberty of going to a site and copying some thing for all you guys who are bothered by the spelling of my name. Notice the correct spelling, then the other accepted spellin(noted as also....)

You can call me anything you like, I think it is a description of my characters, philosophy and way of life(as I pulled it from one of the series that I have read), which is balance.

I hope this helps you, I don't want anything to bug you. As I said, You can call me whatever you like. As long as it's not mean
