Give it some sort of additional restriction to make up for component requirement removal. Maybe even fewer spells known? I'm not sure. But Sorcerer is incredibly close to the language of the Psion. It speaks a lot to how Ability Scores have restricted the narrative malleability of casters while not so much for martial characters (who might be Str based or might be Dex based depending on build). I could see Int-based Clerics, Wis-based Wizards, Cha-based Druids, Int-based Sorcerers, Int-based Warlocks, Cha-based Wizards, even Wis or Int-based Bards.</blockquote>
