Dude I think you have it the other way around. The mage can cast whatever he wants and a sorceror is stuck with only a small handfull of spells. And what in the 9 hells you mean if he has spells memorized he can't use them? In a tight spot a mage casts what he cans and hope it works!!! DUDE what planet are you from! The last sentance oh my goodness. Dude everything you say is messed up reverse that and you got that right![/QB]

A mage can memorise as good selection of spells, but if he wants to have versatility he can only have a few of each level. A sorc can cast acid arrow as many times as he needs, without having to stop, switch out other level 2 spells and rest to memorise. I run into a troll and I have 3 mirror images available. But I also have 3 acid arrows available. I can cast 3 level 2 spells, but which spells are my choice, at the time. Not my choice, last night.
Your mage may be able to learn more spells, but who cares how many you have in your spellbook? What you have memorised is whats determines your offensive capability, and the sorcerors spellcasting system means he dosent have to choose ahead of time what to take into battle.
Of course, a sorceror who make poor spell choices is far inferior to a mage, since a sorceror cant correct later. This is why mages are easier to play. But easier to play does not mean they are more powerful.
