Don't discount the need for wizards to spend a significant portion of every day sequestered from the public preparing his spells. During the average campaign, this obviously will rarely enter as a factor in the regular session. But just like the danger of the Athasian environment rarely enters regular game sessions when PCs take common sense precautions, needing privacy to prepare daily spells is one more disadvantage wizards have which sorcerers won't. It takes one slip up and the PC is toast, which is why ought not be looked over as a significant disadvantage.Which is why I suggested getting rid of the Eschew Materials, Silent Spell, and Still Spell feats puts sorcerers and wizards on nearly the same level of danger in Athas, if the PC is a preserver.  Requiring Athasian sorcerers to gain spells only from a spellbook or scroll is another significant alteration to that class from the Core rules, further proving why Dark Sun is inappropriate for Core D&D rules without important, even if only small, changes.Regards,Eric Anondson</blockquote>
