It's Only Magic
A pharmaceutical sorcerer is an apothecary, doctor, dentist, magical healer, counselor, surgeon, and nutritionist all in one. They have devoted themselves to the art and science of healing, using a combination of methods to achieve remarkable success. Some work in drugstores, some have their own specialized businesses, and some administer aid from their homes or a public clinic. They might wear medical scrubs or a white coat over normal clothing.
Stats for a corporate mage also work well for paranormal law enforcement NPCs, such as the police or FBI.
