In one sense, Mike is right: there isn't any long-standing D&D lore about those classes; in another sense, he's just presenting the point of view of the Wizard class, so of course there is going to be resentment displayed. (Some Wizards even resent other Wizards.) One of the oldest tropes about Dwarves was the notion that they mistrusted all arcane magic, whether it be the magic of a Wizard, a Witch, a Warlock, a Sorcerer, or a Bard. In that light, it shouldn't be too surprising that mistrust of the arcane remains a feature in the game, either displayed by Dwarves or displayed by other arcanists. In my opinion, he's focusing too much on the dangers and not enough on the possibilities for such a character. (Or maybe he's saying that the dangers are a large part of the possibilities. I don't know.)</blockquote>
