Of course it has a place in the discussion about the compared strengths of sorcerers and wizards.And it is easy to take precautions against spellbook destruction.Multiple BooksBackup BooksRodsStavesWandsLike KarinsDad said... but it costs money.Resources that are being employed protecting spellbooks are resources not being used to expand the wizard's spell repitoire. Which means relativly fewer spells avialable in those spellbooks. Which makes that wizard relatively less versatile compared to a sorcerer.The wizard has a choice to make between spell versatility and protection.If he goes for maximum spell versatility (which you have repeatedly said is the wizard's strongest feature), he can not afford much protection. He is at greater risk, and has a bigger weakness.If he goes for maximum protection, then he won't have as many spells, but they sure will be at much less risk of being swiped.Most likely you'll find a happy balance between the two. But even if you have a slight amount of protection, you will have fewer spells in your spellbook, which means that there is relatively less versatility when compared to the sorcerer who doesn't have to worry about spellbooks.</blockquote>
