As the player of a wizard myself, I've found that, 95% of the time I stick with a short and specific list of prepared spells. Consequently, adding any significant number of spells to my spellbooks rapidly becomes a matter of diminishing returns.A mid to high level sorceror constructed with minimal ideas of flexibility in mind will have far more flexibility in any given situation than a wizard since he will know a wider variety of spells than the wizard has prepared (and, most likely, a wider variety than the wizard can prepare on short notice--assuming the wizard doesn't leave half his spell slots open).And, assuming that the sorceror spends the same amount of money on scrolls and wands that the wizard spends adding spells to his spellbook, the sorceror will probably have more spells at his fingertips too. After all, the cost of scribing a low-level spell is two to eight times higher than the cost of buying a scroll of it. So, if the wizard only uses the spells he's scribed two or three times over his career, a sorceror who bought scrolls of them instead of scribing them will come out ahead.</blockquote>
