Argh, my brain shuts down at around 2 am. Interesting idea, I think it would work if the number of spell levels to be cast was worked out evenly. I also think the sorcerer is a reasonably balanced class already; it's just that it doesn't have the utilarian aspect of the mage, and a lot of people simply try to replace the mage with the sorcerer, which I don't think would work at all. It'd be easy to make the mage completely redundant by upping the amount of spells a sorcerer can learn.
