Mantrik

[1] In the Indian subcontinent, the word mantrik & similar names are synonymous with magician in different languages.

Generally, a mantrik is supposed to derive his powers from the use of charms, mantras, spells and other methods.

A Hindu mantrik is known to worship Kali and is often mentioned in the same breath as tantric, though there are subtle differences.

Mantras are sacred chantings containing magical and mystical words.

Mantriks are normally associated with the darker side of magic and its relevant practices.
