Neither sorcerers nor wizards are inherently "stronger"; they have different strengths, with Wizards offering unparalleled versatility and a vast spell list through study, while Sorcerers possess innate power, limited but potent spells, and unique abilities like Metamagic for battlefield manipulation, making them powerful but specialized, often excelling in specific combat scenarios.

He's not a human sorcerer; his power comes from his angelic nature, but he's restricted in its use to guide mortals, not dominate them, hence his focus on inspiring hope and using fire/light as tools.
