I'm not saying change the spell lists, I'm just pondering blurring the line between the two 'types'- in Mutants and Masterminds terms, the 'descriptor'; and not even necessarily removing the difference, just saying that (most) mortal magics can't differentiate- it really does, in most cases, come down to faith and belief.
Or to put it in fantasy Renaissance terms, for all the advances that science and scholarship have provided, there are simply some things that can't be fully understood or explained.
And not fully committed to this idea- just tossing something out for discussion.
At this point, my scholar is looking like she started as Rogue with rituals; her bardic abilities flowered after exposure to the sorcery 'project'.
She still casts most of her spells as rituals, and believes that her abilities are divine in origin. Or at least her non-warlock abilities...
Her 'patron', claiming (if it spoke in clear terms or anything...) to be the spirit of a pre-Harrowing wizard trapped in some pan-dimensional limbo apparently believes the sorceress to be critically important (maybe it is right? or wrong? or crazy? or inscrutable to mortal minds?). Perhaps her constant flow of raw magic, left running for long enough (or especially honed/strengthened) would make it easy for him (it?) to escape its prison to pass on to the Maker's afterlife (or to return to rule or destroy the world).
