But here is my take on it.During character creation I'll let each wild mage player choose how he wants me to call for wild surge rolls for his character. The three most basic options will be:One Wild and Crazy Guy: "The DM can" means the DM always does. For the player who wants to maximize his chaotic potential.Not That Kind of Sorcerer: "The DM can" means the DM never does. For those who aren't really interested in wild magic, but also aren't interested in turning into a dragon, so they can fluff whatever sorcerous origin they like.The Vagaries of Fate: "The DM can" means that it happens 50% of the time (rolled randomly). This will be my default. It makes surges less often than always rolling for them, and makes Tides of Chaos more unpredictable.In addition, more custom options are available, such as the DM arbitrarily deciding based on agreed upon considerations, or using a percentage other than 50%.As far as I can tell all of these are balanced and RAW (and even RAI).  However, I still hope the book suggests this sort of thing so we immediately know they had it in mind when they were writing it.</blockquote>
