And to think we all thought that Magus was just his name! I had never given it that much of a thought before see.

I called him Magus out of habit. It's a Video Game Character, he can be called Mud for as much as I care.

If the Mystics worshipped the "Demon God" then he mustn't have been a powerful god since they worship Magus later and you don't whorship a Magus after your worship a powerful Demon God...

I've personally called him Janus for the better part of two years, forgoing that blasted title Magus. I'm too well aware of it being a title, rather than a name and, in fact, once called him Janus Magus, ie. Janus the Sorcerer. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but often I'll just call him the Sorcerer, which is essentially like calling him Magus, only in English translation. If one really wants to be picky, though, call him Magos (Μαγος), as that is the older spelling of it. I don't, however, think it is a general title. He is THE Sorcerer, not just the lord sorcerer. That would be Anax Magos, or Basileus Magos (or something like that, I'm guessing, and I don't know the declensions for different cases), or maybe yet Domino Magus, or Rex Magus. Anyway, I usually call him Janus (Yah-nuss), save in his position as the sorcerer of the Mystics. There he is Magus (Mah-gus).

Don't know if you were trying to put it in Greek or Latin ^_^ Basileus is just the latinization of Basileos, that is King.
My guess, to call him The Magus, would be Magus Magorum, the same way Christ was Rex Regum. Furthermore, that -orum sounds pretty magical... or maybe am i seeing too much "Bedknobs and broomsticks"? lol  :lol:

Lol.

Personally, I think it was a translation pun on the name. Calling him Magus is his new name, and to the player, it refers to a magician. I don't think in Chrono Trigger they had Latin... It was simply used in the english version of the game.

Both. When I used Anax, that was Greek. As was Basileus (are you sure there's an omicron there?) ... hmmm... according to my father's Liddel and Scott, which is fully reliable, it is supposed to be an upsilon there, and thus Basileus. Basileos appears to be the 'of' form, ie. 'of the king'. Anyway, you probably noticed that for the first two I used Magos, when I was speaking for Greek, and for the last two Magus, as they were Latin. I did however claim ignorance on the structure, as I truly do not know how, in either Greek or Latin, they would work together, so I just used Rex and Magus together as they were, or Domino (or is it Dominus?) and Magus.

I always saw "Demon King" as sort of a title and sort of a name used to scare the Humans. I mean, you'd think if it was strictly a title that they'd also somehow incorperate his name or something...

And also, Legend, I still don't see how you get that the Mystics were already preparing for a war we have no proof was started when Janus showed up...

Why need there be proof? The Mystics were opressed, so they would obviously prepare for war. It's happaned loads of times before. Argue the possibilty of that and you'd argue the existence of a few civil wars.
