Well. We seem to be thinking along the same lines. To expand, Sorcery has:
Distavantages: high HP cost, less ability to improvise
Advantages: better range, multiple target modifiers and so on
These seem unbalanced. I'd either reduce the HP cost or give sorcery more
advantages than at present.
On the other hand I've not had experience of PC sorcerors (NPCs are OK).
