Maybe the Wizards got hold of a Catgirling Machine, really early on, and adapted it to help them create all the 'magical creatures' that they want for their fandom? Then, found some of those creatures turned out to be a lot more magical than could be easily explained by handwavium and biomods?
Writing stories for Wizards who rely on fake magic via handwaved gadgets (particularly wands), is a lot more difficult than technomage stuff:

who are at least cyborgs, with waved-up implants helping them to fake-up magic.
Maybe what the Wizards need is someone attempting to be a Dark Lord, who seems suspiciously good at Wandless Magic, and has a load of new spells, a few of which are a bit short of the Slapstick Effect?
Or, we could do with someone who finds a buried Spelljamming Helm somewhere on Terra?
(No, I'm not suggesting SJ physics or crystal spheres anywhere near Fenspace, just a Helm which mostly works canon with the gravity plane and the air envelope. Maybe some really reliable spells that make personal air envelopes, or do other life support stuff. A scroll with a copyable "Minor Spelljamming Helm" on it would be one alternative to finding a Helm...)
