The wizard, a sage, the most powerfull beings in the world get a big unfriendly, dungeon-looking globe in the slums. The globe also destoys his nabours houses, so they will hate him the rest of their lifes.
In ToB, the spellcaster is the only one NOT given any highlevel-abillitys.
Sure, they get some nice spells, but what does it matter?
What really annoys me is that the common thief and the shamefull bard can write scrolls, but not the wizard!

I guess the fighter gets the simple life 'cos that's what he finds appealing. The thought of owning a heavily magical, planar dungeon stuffed with all manner of arcane gadgetry would make any self-respecting mage go weak at the knees! Complex man, complex wishes.
The simple bonus of being able to take extra 6th, 7th and 8th spell slots I found was much more a bonus - don't forget that. And who wants all those stupid low-level scrolls anyway? A refined magic-user has no need of such petty scribings and cantrips!
