I cannot speak for every world, but in my own both are users of the arcane, but the primary difference is how their magical skills come to them. Wizards are students and our skills come through a mixture of study and practical use. Some wizards attend schools or academies, whereas others are self-taught. Regardless, the long and short is that while many have a natural affinity toward the arcane or a bit of a spark, study and practice is necessary to fine tune and master the art. Sorcerers, on the other hand, are born with their abilities.
