As I said the other day, though, Wushi 巫师 is better Chinese. If you want to call your character a Wu Jen, I'm not going to send the OSR Police after you.
So, how does my Wushi compare to the normal Magic-User? Very similar. In fact, the only real difference is the spell list. As you can see below, it's mostly the same, but with some of my Flying Swordsmen and Chanbara spells substituted in where I felt appropriate. They're the only spell casting class that uses spell books, but they also have the greatest variety of spells. Not only do they get 12 choices for each spell level, there's a good range of offense/defense, observation, mobility, and utility spells.
How does it compare to the OA Wu Jen? It doesn't have enforced taboos, and no elemental mastery (which wasn't really that great an ability for the effort that went into achieving it). Again, feel free to give your Wushi (or any character) taboos they must abide by. I just don't feel like it needs to be baked into the class. Maybe you want to play a refined, courtly gentle-woman scholar who studies magic in the Imperial Library by day, adventures through muck-filled ruins for treasure by night. No need for taboos. But if you want to play the wild crazy hermit from the mountain, feel free to come up with taboos on your own.

Spells: A
wushi can cast a number of spells of the levels shown on the Wushi
Advancement chart each day. The wushi must prepare their spells in
advance. Wushi keep a spellbook with the spells they know. They begin
play knowing two spells plus one spell per point of Int bonus (if
any). At each level they may add a new spell to their spellbook of a
level which they can cast. They may also copy spells found in
captured spellbooks or scrolls if it is of a level they can cast to
increase their store of spells.
