You cannot roelplay a truly dumb wizard that is also somehow competent. Yes, lets go with it. n_nMaking a class mechanically irrelevant and overshadowing all other wizard schools is a big deal in my book. Wizards just don't need that much extra versatility, Sculpt spell is good and free, but it cannot be used with say, cloudkill. And it isn't about blasting when I say it would break, the blasting card is used so often to justify underpowering sorcerers. I'm thinking on utility and crazy insane mixtures that aren't that easy to do with a sorcerer. Wizards are really that good,  Yes the domains are a big part of the cleric, but all the Favored Soul gets are the spell domains, nothing else, no extra powers, no channel divinity, no bonus features from it. Don't compare a spell package from a subclass with the backbone of other class. The new sorcerer subclasses are really balanced with the other two, they only overshadow the others because they aren't that flattering and blasting is boring. Wild magic feels more like an homage to the 2e's wild mage, and is very niche, and dragon magic is just too focused in blasting and not utility. FS and Storm are less blasty. Those extra spells aren't raw power, they come at the expense of blasting power. -And this is good, because they make non-blasting viable- . Storm sorcerers get their wings at a later level, and no riders on blasting, their damage booster is more niche and doesn't apply to area attacks, they are also squishier than dragon sorcerers and with worse ac. And you say the so few spells known are a class limitation, well that limitation is the price for metamagic, and the wizard didn't pay for it. -And they don't need it, they have tons of spells at a time, they can change them if they don't work, can turn gold into more spells, they can cast niche spells with no slots, their slot recovery  doesn't consume resources, and they get at-will magic at higher levels.</blockquote>
