So it's a psion, except he's a sorcerer who casts wizard spells?

 

[The Kender]

In so many words, yes. This gets rid of Wizards, Sorcerers, and probably Psions & Psychic Warriors.

You might want to use the spell variants from If Thoughts Could Kill. The damage of the spells are modified so that the math for power point expenditure works more consistently.

You should also use the power scaling variant there. Otherwise you get magic missiles with 5 missiles each for only 1 mana point, etc.
