'a tribal wizard' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'a nice name i'm coining' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'nice' is 'cine' which is present in the answer.
'name' could be 'edi' and 'edi' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medicine man that I've seen before include "Tribal healer" , "Magician" , "Wise native" , "me put right!" , "one with healing powers" .)
