I'm not sure, I can't find anything particularly explicit...

The closest I can think is T77's introduction of the concept "Every wizard has a threshold score" which I guess could be taken to mean as only opting in "wizards" which I can assume is meant as a synonym for mages.

Taking that approach could mean that any other term using "wizard" would also be "mage only though", right?

EG "calamities reduce tally" only applies to wizards ("to make wizards a little more powerful") and result 11 on the calamity table says "wizard suffers" so non-wizards wouldn't have Nightmares?

I would think maybe 'wizard' in these two cases means "someone using magic" even if they were merely helping a mage with a ceremonial spell, or maintaining a spell that a mage lent to them.
