The reason a sorcerer is so incredibly superior to any mage is their versatility ... the ability to cast any spell they know at any time.
This is what gives them the upperhand at higher levels, using the wish-tactic .. as well as Dundee's [PRATI®-tactic]™.

A sorcerer can cast Project Image as much times as he has lvl 7 spells, but the project Image can then cast any other lvl 7 spell he knows too.
A mage doesnt have that little trick, he has to memorize as much PI's as he wants to cast, which means his PI wont be able to cast any other lvl 7 spell than PI.
So a sorcerer can cast more PI's than a mage, and a sorcerer's PI 'll be more effective than the mage's.

Then there's the Wish-rest option. Cast lvl 9 wish, and hope for the rest until healed-option.

Again the sorcerer comes out victorious, since he can potentially cast Wish as often as his slots allow him, to get the rest untill healed-option ... WITHOUT losing the potential of casting other lvl 9 spells.
A sorcerer is therefore a safer bet, and will be much more destructive in the end.
The only way a mage has a reasonable change for the rest until healed-option, is if he spends all his lvl 9 slots on them ---> no more other lvl 9 spells.

And you're just lucky Dundee hasnt said anything yet ... he'd rip you apart with arguments, numbers and vicious looking smilies [img]tongue.gif[/img]
