It's a pun.
Wizard —> W 'is' ard
Wazard —> 'Was' ard
I.e., the wizards were, but now are not.

I find it interesting that 'Sourcery' is Terry Pratchett's least favourite book, because it's definitely my favourite; the story's exciting, there's a lot of really great character development and the emotions just write themselves.
With regards to the Wham Line, "All the wizards were wazards", could anyone inform me if 'wazard' has a specific meaning? The only definition I've found is 'a golfing water-hazard', which doesn't seem apt. I suspect it's simply a made-up rude-sounding word, being reminiscent of 'wazzock', but I consider it a duty to understand as many of Terry Pratchett's jokes as possible.
