is Austin a Sorcerer or a Wizard? Do Wizards train Sorcerers as full apprentices?

As far as dating Harry goes, the bigger threat is the universe itself really.
Childhood sweetheart? "dies" to add to the Tragic Backstory.
Sexy Reporter? Critical case of Stupid causes her to become a half Rampire.
Hot Boss? Turns out it was Mind-Rape all alone.
BFF/Coworker? Jerks you around for a decade+ and then gets critically injured just as she finally ran out of excuses to continue stringing you along.
Literally every other woman he meets: Dies, is evil, or only wants him for his power.
Like, Harry's dating life is just a conga-line of tragedy and failure, and most of it isn't directly caused by all those enemies.

The distinction is a little iffy -- from what I understand, a sorcerer is like a wizard without the formal training. A wizard means you're in some way recognized as one by the White Council -- there's mentions of trials and such; I think Jim's said that one basic guideline is they're able to do everything between evocation and thaumaturgy. They might have a specialization and/or suck at one or two, but they have the capability of doing it all.

I don't think Austin can be classified as wizard or sorcerer yet... He hasn't any training one way or another, even if self taught as Vincent Sells was, training/research is involved to become a sorcerer... He is on the verge of becoming a warlock though if he isn't already one from misusing his awakening talents and being used not trained to those ends...

Didn't GP say something about sorcerers are more limited in their range of abilities, and almost all skew towards destructive?
