[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9322806, member: 87792"] Now if you want how I would write a wizard subclass of sorcerer it's that wizards have, through study and practice managed to safely reproduce sorcerer magical events to enable themselves to cast like sorcerers. When Vyrathis Stormborn was hit by lightning from the Century Storm and survived he became a storm sorcerer. His eight nephews and nieces all tried; two weren't struck and four died and the other two became storm sorcerers themselves. And because they recorded what had happened three out of five of Vyrathis' kids survived with two becoming sorcerers. Wizards take a safer path than self-made sorcerers. Through study and practice they prepare themselves for a rite which differs from wizarding tradition to wizarding tradition - but what they all have in common is they attempt to jump-start the wizard's power through partial (and therefore safer and easier) recreations of sorcerer origins; for example summoning the tiniest piece of the Century Storm at the same time as connecting with an unintelligent and weak far realm entity and swallowing a piece of living shadow. Occasionally this goes wrong and either the wizard dies or one part dominates and they become some other kind of sorcerer. Because none of these sources are as powerful as one from a sorcerer they both have less power from their source but are much more adept at rituals and, with more balanced power, adept at using and building on the magical exploration of others. And there you have all the updated lore; the wizard wasn't inherently one but got there through study and practice and an extraordinary event. And there are very good reasons for the apprenticeship even if it wasn't necessary [/QUOTE]
