Who was the single most powerful occultist in history?
Obviously Solomon in his heyday was great, and Moses was a pretty tough customer, but I don’t know much about eastern/American history.
So who was/is the most powerful in history?

What exactly is the overlap between wizards and psychics? Do they work through the same means, and can their power be compared?

I'm more curious about the difference between mage, witch, wizard, warlock and sorcerer.

Mage 
Zoroastrian magi 
- our worlds origin of the word magic
- possibly the first wizards

Wizard - European origin male magic practitioners 
Witch - European origin female magic practitioners 

Warlock - innate magic users tied to a deity - Very powerful but it is due to their affiliation to a god/goddess/entity.
They can sometimes be cultists or simply contractees for a god/goddess.
Unlike priests, they do not ask for permission every time they use a power, rather they are given these powers in free reign for as long as their contract or the gods will remains. Hence: Locked in war. Either for or sometimes even against a deity.

Sorcerer/Sorceress: Traditionally comes from future seer or lot drawer, however they are implied to have other talents, as such it basically means any magic user.
