A hedge wizard (or hedge mage) was usually a negative term to call some wizards who were not liked by the Kirin Tor.^[1] Most people do not make a distinction between sorcerers and wizards, although "hedge wizard" is used as a pejorative term by wizards against sorcerers.^[2]

Magistrate Marduke says that a "hedge mage" is a rogue wizard that never received their formal training from Dalaran.

Hedge mages often use the smoke of an herb known as Witchbane to draw evil from its hiding places.^[3]

The Defias Brotherhood has hedge mages in its ranks.^[4]
