While someone who wants to play an earlier style wizard would choose Apprentice.Other aspects of D&D Vancian magic could be implanted into themes. Things like Duration extension and Maximizing Damage and Increasing DCs. The core caster could then be nerfed and players use themes to unnerving them.  Only X theme caster can do X well. Only a Y caster can do Y for a long time. Themes would nudge casters into specializations and certain playstyles.</blockquote>
