They are not hobbyists as you seem to suggest, but rather savants without much formal training but an overabundance of natural talent.Wizards, on the other hand, know a lot of spells but lack the innate comprehension to alter those spells on the fly. A wizard who wants a different spell effect researches a new spell. Wizards have a great deal of formal training but lack the intuitive understanding that comes naturally to sorcerers.If you want wizards to have access to metamagic along the lines of earlier editions, just make it a feat. Use the battle master feat as a guideline.</blockquote>
