In the general loose vernacular of superstition and literature in western culture. Generalizing wildly, but outside L. Frank Baum, which is a huge omission, witchcraft, witches and warlocks are usually linked with Satan while wizardry is portrayed as somehow supra-religious.

Enh maybe None of these words had super formal meanings, but sure "wizard" is less pejorative than "warlock" (which just straight up came from a word meaning a criminal, "oathbreaker")
