And yet, if you read most of this thread, it is mostly about how the sorcerer now overshadows the wizard because their spells overlap too much. And the counter argument that it hasn't been an issue with the wizard and the cleric or druid has been met with claims that the cleric and druid list are "less powerful" or "less focused on the same things the wizard is" so it isn't a problem.


So, I set out to disprove that argument. No one has been complaining about Bards getting it, or if they did it was in an off-hand manner, so I didn't focus on that.
