A single word for something that only knows of its own existence
You might want to look at the word "solipsism".
A "solipsist" is someone who believes that everything he/she experiences is a figment of his/her imagination.

Is there a specific title for wizards?
You can use "Magister" if you like. That was the first word that came to my mind.
Pronounce with the g either hard or soft. The hard pronunciation would be subtler.

Olden pejorative/word for a "fancy-pants"
You could try going for "coxcomb", which dates back to the 16th century. Shakespeare also used "princox", which dates from about the same time, but that's just about obsolete now.
