Don't the sorcerers differentiate primarily between matter and
energy? The physical world is mostly matter, the sorcery plane
is pure energy. Sorcerous magic is energy, so it makes more
sense to use the abundant energy of the sorcery plane than
trying to refine the energy which is intermingled with the
matter of the physical world. Doing the latter is still
possible, but the consequences are not palatable (tapping).
