Why does no one ever ask of Rumple is a Warlock, which is the male version of the same thing? He's generally called a wizard (which in some circles mean that he acquires/learned magic rather than was born with it). Warlock isn't as popular and generic as wizard. Hilariously, they called Merlin a sorcerer. So, they are definitely just using them exchangably.
