I largely agree with this.  However, I do think wizards have
a fundamental superiority over heroes in that they get to
change the rules of the game.  The spell and talent lists 
are, when you boil it down, just parts of the rules. Spell 
research allows wizards to change and extend the rules.  
There is no 'talent research' that allows heroes to invent 
new talents, or 'weapon research' that allows them to invent 
a new kind of sword.

Now of course a new spell needs the GM's approval, but 
I'm not even talking about abusive spells.  The ability 
to create perfectly reasonable spells is incredibly useful.
