Sorcerors and wizards both have to rely upon items for something. Wizards rely upon items for power (wands of spells they use all the time) and versatility (scrolls of spells they don't prepare but might need). Since wizards all have scribe scroll, it's generally assumed that they can cover the weaknesses of their limited spell preparations with scrolls of the spells that they know but rarely need to use.Sorcerors, OTOH, rarely need to rely upon items for power but sometimes (less and less as they increase in level), need items if they are to have the same versatility as a wizard. The only difference is they buy those items and wizards often make them.Comparing wizards to sorcerors and allowing wizards to use scrolls for versatility (assuming, of course, that the wizard can aquire scrolls and spellbooks to expand his repertoire so as to be able to make those scrolls) and wands for power without allowing sorcerors to purchase such items for flexibility is as reasonable comparing barbarians and rogues in a zombie killing contest.</blockquote>
