I'm gonna do my best with the Q. Sorcerer to bring in stuff from multiple cultures. Personally, on the "Crunch vs Fluff" (man, I hate those terms) debate, I tend to err on the side of useful fluff (dense fluff, if you will). With the MASSIVE amount of mechanics available, particularly where magic is concerned, I think a book has to have that meaty hunk of dense fluff, spread out throughout the book, to separate itself from the pack. I like to pop in those little fluff tidbits that make people go "Wow, that's the kinda hook I gotta have for my character!"
One of my big goals with it is to introduce some non-artillery stuff for sorcerers. So, hopefully, you're gonna see some cool non-combat spells and feats, the kind of things that are eminently useful, but not in the typical D&D "Kill 'em all and loot the bodies!!!!"
I'm gonna mix that in with culture bits, gems of real historical weirdness, and a healthy dose of flavor drawn from fairy tale and fable.
I want stuff in there that would make Gandalf, Dumbledore, Merlin, and Ged from Earthsea proud, in other words.
If the book works out like I want it to, the Sorcerer class is going to really come into its own, both mechanically, and, more importantly, in terms of flavor.
