As we all know, Witches are rare.. erm, Testificates who do not like people. They attack on sight, and are generally very mean.

I'll cut to the chase: Wizards! They are Villagers who live either in or near villages, and will sell you enchanted books and things like Glowstone and Redstone. They are friendly, but will throw fireballs (Just like Ghasts and Blazes) when you or a Zombie attacks them or other villagers. They have the same health as Villagers and will hit with the same fireball ah ghasts, only leave a smaller crater.

Warlocks: Same as Wizards, only live outside villages like witches and have a black robe colour (Wizards have blue) and will have a Magma Slime or Blaze as a minion.

That's about it, so, um yeah.. Leave any comments below.

Wizards....BAD IDEA... Throwing fireballs around villages which are largely made of wood. This will not end well...

Warlocks, meh. Not enough detail. Them spawning magma slimes/blazes only really makes sense if they're nether dwellers. Throwing fireballs only works if their found in non-flammable areas and cannot burn.

As I said, Wizards will leave a much smaller crater than ghasts, but you're right. Maybe they could just throw fireballs that won't start a fire and don't explode?

Also, Warclocks are the masters of the art of demonology and/or darkness, and often summon a minion to fight for them. Magma Cubes  and blazes seem like a very good candidate for a minion without adding another useless mob.

I kinda like this. I would also want to see vampire villagers too.
But maybe it is all getting overdone.
Half-support.

I'd like the wizards if they spewed non-flammable/destructive fireballs like has been said.

And I think the warlocks are fine.

Yay, a way to defend villages without guard villagers!

Fighting villagers = not really. This is what the Iron Golem is for. If villages have these wizards, warlocks and Iron Golems, it's all too much.

As I said, Warlocks do not live in Villages, and will fight Wizards when they get close to them (Arena Battles!) and the chance of a Wizard's study spawning in a village is half the chance of a Blacksmith spawning, and one wizard won't be strong enough to withstand a larger zombie siege.

I like what I see. This is very well thought out, Iron golems don't actually help all that much. They wander off, get stuck, etc. A rare wizard would be cool to have, so long as he doesn't replace the priest.

New suggestion that may be added to the OP: Vampires!

They live in small groups of 3 to 5 in decorated chambers that spawn at the end of caves and are neutral. They attack in groups like pigmen and will burn in sunlight. They have the same health as endermen but hit for two hearts. They drop vampire dust which can be used for some sort of potion (Open for suggestions) and vampire badges, which are like trophies and Priest villagers can enchant your weapon if you give them some.

I've got some ideas for this. The wizard will buy potion ingredients, and sell potions. It will also enchant items, like Priests. The study would be a Witch Hut with an Enchantment Table and Brewing Stand instead of a Crafting Table and Cauldron. It will also have a chest with various potion ingredients, and a Nether Portal. Instead of throwing fireballs, how about it could turn into a Witch when attacked?

[WarPigsLukesWall]

Can the wizard wear a white robe and live in a giant black tower surrounded by Uruk-Hai instead?

[Axelbrod]

I don't really think that this fits into Minecraft. You could say witches don't fit in either, and you might be right, but I think that adding wizards would lean a bit too much towards a fantasy theme.

That's a pretty good Idea, maybe they could have a chest with an enchanting tome or two inside it? Just another suggestion.

And we'll have to get two Testificate children (Shortest thing I could think of) and throw a heavily enchanted diamond pickaxe into a massive lava pool to defeat him?
