Well about the sorcerer
It seems very hard in the beginning and it is
Yopu need to know what spells you use and what you think are good
If you don't know what spells are good you can easely choose the wrong ones and the sorcerer will turn out very weak
But chose the right ones and you got a irenicus killer the luxe (don't tell me you didn't know the ultimate goal is to kill irenicus)
But you still need a normal mage for the "special" spells
