Not to rub it in until it becomes an oozing sore, but I think you mean "chaff".The wizards powers still sweep the chafe before him ... but the chafe no longer seems to include his peers... is that bad?
Otherwise, largely agreed. It's not that Wizards have lost power in the world, they've merely lost power over the other PCs.
