It is also easier for them to create magic items (bonus feats, wider access to spells) and for blasting purposes I would imagine many wizards would want to keep a few wands of fireball or whatever around.The sorcerer doesn't have this range of responses, but when it comes to using metamagic he is way, way ahead of the game, even with the marginally increased casting time. A sorcerer who bothers to learn Still spell and Silent spell need never fear being silenced or grappled since they can still get on with business and cast escape or countermeasures spells - but they don't have to. They can funnel all their power into one or two spells if they need to - but they don't have to.So my money goes on Strategic Flexibility vs Tactical FlexibilityCheers</blockquote>
