[求助]Hedge Wizard怎么翻译
在翻译Too Familiar的时候遇到一个名词Hedge Wizard。网上Google了一下还有专门的进阶，貌似是个法师商人的职业。想咨询大家怎么翻译这个名词比较合适？
Hedge Wizard
Hedge wizards are dabblers in magic; many practice alchemy and serve as local experts in magic items. Hedge wizards make a living by identifying magic items, and selling their spells, knowledge, and minor magical items. Magic items typically include potions and scrolls, but also "mundane" useless items, such as a mug to keep your ale cool. Hedge wizards specialize in miscellaneous magic; generally spells that are neither offensive nor defensive in nature.
As a rule hedge wizards do not adventure, but instead take the safer route and set up shop in towns or cities selling their spells and minor magic items. Other wizards often look down on hedge wizards as giving up their calling and settling for being a mere merchant. But many are grudgingly given some respect for their knowledge and especially their ability to identify magic items.
Wizards are the most likely to become hedge wizards. Sorcerers and bards rarely become hedge wizards.
