Ha! I even did away with that distinction. I saw no reason why Wizard shouldn't just be a talent like everything else. So that's what I did. I had two talents as I recall. The first, "Magic User" was IQ 8 and was designed for Witches, Hedge-Wizards and those without formal Magical Training. Magic Users could use spells up to IQ 13. "Wizard" was IQ 14 and allowed learning and use of all spells up to IQ 20.
I also had two levels of Clerical Magic: A "Devotee" could cast blessings and call on some minor God powers. The higher level, "Priest" allowed the performance of higher level stuff like performing religious services, consecrating shrines, curses, etc.
