The cities of Urbis require magic to keep running - and lots of it - so there's always work for a skilled wizard. And anyone with the neccessary intelligence and a good teacher can become one, so there are quite a few of them running around.Sorcerers, on the other hand, need an innate talent that is quite rare - and which often remains undiscovered, since the <a href="http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/nexus_towers.html" target="_blank">Nexus Towers</a>, the source of most magical energies in a city, often drain Charisma from all who live nearby. And sorcerers, true or not, tend to be seen as less disciplined than wizards - after all, they never went through some form of formal study. Still, the movers and shakers in a city-state rarely let useful talent go to waste, and so skilled sorcerers can find good employment opportunities, if not quite as many as wizards...</blockquote>
