Practicers of the Arcane Arts, unlike cultivators, were divided into four main categories. Those who believed in nature and used their magic for good... did not exist.
Magic was used to further ones lifespan and attain immortality. Whether or not anyone died in the process as an aftermath was not really anyone's concern.
Mages were Arcanists who focused on learning more about the world and universe, slowly but surely finding their way that her immortality. Witches were like mages, only that they were rather vindictive and vengeful. A witch could abandon hundreds of years of research and use it all on a spell to curse someone that annoyed them.
Wizards were like witches, but male. However, they were not nearly as spiteful.
Then, there were Warlocks, the demonic Arcanists who used terrible and horrible means to grow more powerful.
