A mage knight[1] is a political title for a mage who focuses mostly on combative magic or has powers that related to the defense or offense. Most mage knights also have a military title and are associated with Gepaul[2] and Kormar[3], but other country mage use it. Despite the commonality of Crystal Sphere Techniques[4], knights in Tarsan[5] are typically associated with their families over their powers.

It is not uncommon for mages of specific elemental[6] and reactional[7] magic to have their power identified instead of “mage”, such as earth knight or fire knight.
Knights are arranged in circles, which is effectively a rank. It can be independent of their military range, so it is possible to be a first-circle mage knight and be outranked by a non-mage. However, a mage is considered a “half rank” above an equivalent non-mage of the same military rank.
The circles start at the “first circle” which means a knight who has proven themselves in combat and are given the rank. Each successive rank requires a significant battle where the knight's powers were used to their limits. Many knights gain their final rank post-mortem.
Because of the violence in society and the general belief that military is one of the greatest honors, knights are frequently viewed in high regard throughout Tarsan[8], Gepaul[9], and Kormar[10].
