Regular pencils use clay mixed in the graphite to harden them. I assume

That ought to thoroughly confuse the issue...Â* They don't really say but the way I read it is the difference between a 4B pencil and crayon is more like a common pencil and a carpenter's pencil where one has a larger core.
It's worth the experiment if you have a Michaels or similar store nearby. Even easier, do you have any stove black (polish)? That's mostly graphite with a little wax to hold it together.
There's a Michaels and a Joanns within 45 miles. I'll look at the woodless graphite and the sticks next time I'm in town. 2B crayons are the softest - so probably have the most graphite.

Would Colonel Edmund J. Burke use crayons? Hell no, you girlie-men put away your coloring books and Crayolas and use what real men use:
