Craft feats cost feats. Scrolls and Wands cost XP and gold. Spells placed into spellbooks cost gold. Pearls of Power, for all of their utility, still cannot replace a spell that the Wizard did not prepare that day.And, a Sorcerer can often (campaign dependent) have the same array of spells on scrolls, he just has to buy them from a Wizard. For the same amount of money that Wizards spend on spells to put into their spellbooks, Sorcerers can afford quite a few scrolls.And, nothing stops a Sorcerer from taking the Craft Wand feat, creating a few wands of spell x, and then when he is high enough level, swapping out spell x for spell y. Or, nothing stops a Sorcerer form taking Scribe Scroll and trading spells he knows on scrolls for spells he does not know.When all you have is a hammer, every problem is a Nail. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Actually, it is more like the Sorcerer has the Boy Scout's backpack with one of each basic necessity. He has a tent, but he only has one size, multiple sizes if he takes a metamagic feat.The Wizard has the garage full of tools and equipment where he can only carry so many at a time, but if he knows which item he'll need, he never has to make due with an inferior one. If he needs a pup tent, he can get it. If he needs a large spacious tent, he can get it. But, at any given moment, he may not have a tent at all. The Sorcerer (almost) always at least has his tent with him.</blockquote>
