I have no doubt that standard magic was what they had in mind, but it doesn't actually say that...
It says what you quoted. Clerical Magic and Ritual Magic are in a half page inset, presented as options. We know that magic-using priests in Ytarria use the same magic as wizards. We see in Banestorm no mention of Power Investiture or Ritual Magery, but lots of examples of standard mages. I'm not that good at reading between the lines, but the intent has always seemed pretty clear to me *shrug*
