You appear to be re-interpreting the word 'sorceror' from the sense originally meant; we're not talking about a separate society of sorcerors, like the Brithini, but rather a different profession, or to put a somewhat different (and larger) spin on it, a different life-path. To suggest they differ this much sounds pretty untenable to me. (Not that they can't differ philosophically recently: tried talking to a scientist/lawyer/liberal artisan/politician/[insert own preferred incomprehensible social archetype] lately?)
Cheers,
Alex.
