[QUOTE="seankreynolds, post: 176358, member: 3029"] [b]It makes sense to keep it[/b] Two comments, both based on stuff I heard from other people: Ryan Dancey at Gen Con: "The wizard is the guy who studied the laws of magic and knows what things done in the right order produce magical effects, and he knows _why_. The sorcerer is the guy who knows that if he points a stick at a guy, squeezes one eye shut, and screams a couple of encouraging words, the guy across the lawn bursts into flames; he doesn't know why it works, he just _knows_ that it does." Some guy on Eric Noah's old site: "I always saw the sorcerer as one who, if you asked him about his teenage years, says, 'I never thought that it was weird that I could climb sheer walls, or that I had a habit of eating spiders.'" Wizards study how to use the tools of magic. Sorcerers know how to use those tools instictively. Both of them still have to use the tools. [/QUOTE]
