Can you see the "magic"-power of a spellcaster with the Spell "Detect Magic" if he does not have cast a spell?

I mean, has a Wizard or another Arcane Spellcaster an aura like a Cleric or a Paladin, whose aura you can see with the "Detect Good or Evil" Spell, which you can see with the "Detect Magic" Spell?

Though note it maybe possible to still 'detect' a wizard, even with lowly Detect Magic. If they have any sort of spell cast on them, it will show up, of course. You may also get a lingering auara if they had recently used magic.

Arcane sight and greater both reveal if someone can cast spells..in the PHB 3rd/8th lvl spells i think...
