good idea

definitely :)

wizard, mage, guru, apprentice : I'd say free-of-choice for everyone.
I see them as meaning more-or-less the following:

wizard: Scripting-end, codes bash a lot (sorcery/ISO team)
guru  : Spellkeeper, writes spells for breakfast and maintains the grimoire
mage  : allrounder, a bit of each of them, like QA team or such

apprentice: New developer, not quite confident, once he/she knows their
            specialities and capabilites they re-apply for one of the above

Definitely golem, if we can get it!

I'd just say people can decide for themselves which they like more and
which they think fits them best.
