You can now easily focus on the cool ones and cast them like mad while being ok in a fight.Second nit pick the gre robes or Knights of the thorn, flavor text I'm cool with, but mid bab, full spellcasting progression and reduction in arcane failure is really good.  The loss of one level to a fighter class hurts but I'm not sure if it hurts enough.Tower of high sorcerery, um well flavor good I guess, but dang they suck.  If they were thrown into a ordinary campaign setting you'd have to be on crack to take them over just staying wizard.  Forced specialization with narowed school choices and opposition school(especially with the IMO suckier 3.5 specializaiotn) and the focused specializaiton where you gain +1 caster level +1 to saves vs your school and loose one more opposition school(especially for black where its got to be a loss of abjuration, transmutaiton, and illusion for either necro or enchantment)  Sure they get some little perks a long the way but if your that painfully specialized its better to play a freakin sorcerer and not suck as bad.</blockquote>
