Mage is an archaic word for magician - a person skilled in the mysterious and hidden art of magic, the ability to attain objectives, acquire knowledge, or perform works of wonder using supernatural or non-rational means.
Someday's Dreamers is a cute anime and manga series targeted towards pre-teen and teen girls; however, it's not so girlie that boys won't enjoy it too. In Magical Dreamer, Yume is the cute character, and although some think the series is a bit shallow in plot, it's an enjoyable watch or read.

Being a quiet, gentle type of country-girl, easily confused and swept up by Tokyo, Yume just can't seem to do anything right. When she tries to repay a stranger, Zennosuke, for his kindness, she ends up insulting him instead, and unknowingly breaks several Bureau of Mage Labor laws. Yume has a lot to live up to though because her mother, Kikuchi Etsuko, is a very distinguished mage.

Mages are under a lot of restrictions and aren't allowed to use their talents in the medical field.
