noun
1. A magician or a worker of miracles.
EX. It is difficult to be a hero in a fantasy world without killing literally thousands of creatures that were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and trying to defend their wrong home from the wrong invader (you're the invader). Remember, every time that your lowly thaumaturge shoots a kobold in the face with a magic missile after invading a temple-- a temple that may have been their home for dozens of generations-- that you were the one who decided to go dungeon diving. Those kobolds probably had a culture and, by killing them all and destroying their home by taking trinkets, you probably left little for future dungeoneering anthropologists to discover. You didn't just kill the kobold. You killed the idea of them. When you die, most likely, your memory of them will be lost alongside those of every other creature you killed that was just trying to mind its own business until you killed it to root around in its burrow. But, hey, they're being total dicks, right?
