Lorn noticed a difference between gold-white chaos and red-white chaos, which he felt was less pleasant. What’s the difference between the two? Also, what’s the difference between a wizard and a mage, or is it merely word choice of the speaker?

Red-white chaos is more “chaotic,” that is, with no internal linkages or order on any level. The speaker chooses the word, but mages tend to be those trained to follow codified rules for handling order and/or chaos.
