I think that was a technicality Nick..

War Wizard= Richard in the current era but it was probably not the mast majority of wizards before Lothain and the other hundred's betrayal...

And even before they sealed the subtractive up, not everyone was sufficient enough to use more than one or two type of magic... We can speculate that there were wizards who were effectively using both sides of magic... but that's it...

Richard and Barracus are known to possess and use both sides of the gift.. Hence they are they called that..

What I mean is that... the majority of wizards had both gifts but we don't know if they could use it... A matter of skill and bloodline is important as well..

It's been a while since I read it so I'm a bit foggy on the details xD
