Where can I find a lot of information about this type of wizard? Or all the wizards is good too. Because winds of magic book is just so limited about this.
information about amethysts wizards
The 2nd edition Tome of Sorcery has more information, you can buy pdf I believe. Some is repeated in the winds of magic book but Tome generally gives more info across board.
Tome of Sorcery is a great reference for any casters, just as Tome of Salvation is fantastic for any priestly characters (as well as generally understanding the culture of the Imperial Old World).
Lexicanum is typically a fantastic reference for any Warhammer Fantasy information, however they appear to be pretty sparse on the Amethyst Order.

The Warhammer Roleplay 2nd Edition book "Realms of Sorcery" is pure gold concerning EVERYTHING that has to do with any kind of magic in the Old World. It's an amazing read, and your choice of Amethyst wizard is awesome. They're pretty much the most badass
Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book (concerning Archaon's invasion, when Teclis returned and gave all Orders instructions on what to do):
"And so it was that the Colleges of Magic went to war, not as an army does, in great phalanxes of marching men, but quietly, in twos and threes, scattering to wherever they deemed themselves most needed.
On the northern front and through the streets of Middenheim, the Pyromancers of the Bright Order fought as defenders in the siege of Middenheim, summoning eerie fires to drive back and destroy the vile and monstrous champions of the Chaos Powers.
In the deep forests of the Empire, the shamanic Magisters of the Amber Brotherhood caused the wilds to rise against the gathering warherds of foul Beastmen, driving them from place to place, and consuming them where possible.
Through the moonlit streets of towns and cities as far dispersed as Marienburg and Salzenmund, Shadowmancers played lethal games of cat and mouse with the Magi of secret Chaos cults and their degenerate Apprentices.
The Astromancers of the Celestial Order locked horns with the fell Sorcerers of Tzeentch, scrying the possible futures, doing their best to unravel and counter the complex plots of the Change Lord's agents, while also causing torrential rain and vicious winds to fall upon the armies of Northmen, slowing their progress.
The Magister Alchemists of the Golden Order set about using their enchantments to improve the weapons and armour of the Empire's armies, while weakening those of the enemy.
The Druid Magisters of the Jade Order battled against the blights and plagues sent against the crops and peoples of the Empire by the Sorcerers of the Plague Lord, Nurgle, and where able, they purified wells and fountains and caused bountiful crops to grow in order to feed the Empire's armies.
The Magisters of Light roamed all across the northern Empire, casting out malevolent spirits of the Aethyr, healing the sick, banishing terror and nightmare, driving out as best they could the darkness that sought to corrupt the hearts and minds of the people.
As for the Order of Shyish, they went deep into the armies of the Old Dark, and where they walked, Death walked with them.
"
An absolutely perfect description of each Order's role in the world...
