Based on Unearthed Arcana's battle sorcerer.
As wizard, but:
* d6 instead of d4
* cleric BAB instead of wizard BAB
* light armour proficiency and no spell failure in light armour
* 1 spell per day per level less
* add 1 spell to spellbook for free at each odd level, instead of 2 at every level
* proficient with simple weapons and one martial weapon.
To be clear, I think the battle sorcerer is fairer if it's tweaked so that it's d8 instead of d6 and proficient with any one martial weapon instead of any one one-handed martial weapon. In a campaign where the battle sorc is straight out of UA, the battle Wiz would also have d8 and one one-handed martial weapon proficiency.
Does it sound balanced? My reasoning was that while he's hurting less for spells known, since with time and money he can have all the spells he wants anyway, -1 spell per day per level should hurt him more than it does the sorcerer, since the wizard already has less spells per day.
