Actually that's not true. A character with the BoS only "Counts As" a Wizard, he doesn't "Become" a Wizard. It doesn't give him a Magic Level, which means he generates no Power or Dispel Dice of his own. He can use the Communal Dice Pool "in the same manner as a Level 1 Wizard", but he is not a Level 1 Wizard. Compare it to the High Elf "Radiant Gem of Hoeth" that specifies "Level 1 High Elf Mage" in it's description. As only Wizards have access to Arcane Items, he cannot be given them.
