The wizard has lightning bolt in his spell book; the sorcerer has lightning bolt on his spells known list. Neither of them has any other 3rd-level electrical spells.The wizard can only benefit from Storm Bolt as long as he keeps lightning bolt prepared. If he casts it, that's it. He can't benefit from the feat any more that day.The sorcerer, however, can still cast lightning bolt multiple times. As long as he has at least one 3rd-level spell slot he hasn't used up, he's always able to cast a 3rd-level electrical spell, and thus he can use Storm Bolt long after the wizard's been forced to cast his "heavy hitter" spell.That, in a nutshell, is why I feel Reserve feats are better for sorcerers: Longer-term usability.</blockquote>
