I know thaumaturge from Jack Vance stories, yes it would seem to be another term for sorcerer or magic user. Demiurge is apparently something to do with esoteric gnostic stuff, maybe that is the magic connection.

The demiurge is the “bad” god in dualist systems, like the Manicheans’ and other gnostics’.
