Well it sucks the magic points out of him so he doesn't have much opportunity to cast big spells. I do note that removing the collar but not the bracelets 'will allow the person to direct Power [ie magic points PHM] in worship to deities, but not to use it for magical spells' (CoP p109).
This indicates to my mind that a person wearing a slave collar is incapable of casting spells of whatever sort although it's not clear whether divine magic is so affected from what I can find (I *think* there's another source that addresses it but I failed my library use). Hence I would say that the wizard can't cast sorcery spells with the collar on.

Two things (not that I'm trying to dissuade you from believing what you want to). In my conception of God Forgot, the people are not creating (or attempting to create) an Industrial Revolution. That occured when the God Learners ruled and was a truely horrible experience while it lasted. They certainly don't want to go back to those days.
Secondly, I don't believe that the Ancient Kingdom of Logic had machines as Logic is not the same thing as Technology. The principles of Logic would be discovered by Thought or Reason rather than Archimdean invention. Think Plato rather than Aristotle IMO.

I don't think he was Uzuz but rather he was judged to be such on the account of his heroic status. Being adopted would have left him with human features, so it's difficult to see how the trolls determined that he was Uzuz on this basis.
