He has less hit points than a cleric and if he wants to cast in armor he is limited to a small list of no somatic component spells, using still spell to effectively have the spells of a straight wizard four levels lower, or risk arcane failure. Alternately he can be a front liner in no armor with low hit points, perhaps on par with a rogue but no sneak attack or uncanny dodge abilities. He can make a pretty good archer/rayslinger or a suboptimal melee combatant. To be effective in front line he needs time to buff or a lot of long lasting spells (mine uses persistent spell when he can and 24 hour spells like energy buffer). A comparable level cleric will do about the same damage for spells (about two spell levels down), have a ton more spells, higher level protections, divinations, and buffs, more hit points, and no problems in heavy armor.</p></blockquote><p></p>
