Totally agree as well. You can't have sorcerers flying around and fireballing
down messerschmidts =) But there must be some way for the players to dabble in
the magic arts. Some people just can't play normal joes.

And think about how much fun it would be to orchestrate a PC's descent into
darkness. "Join me, and we will rule the Eternal Reich together!" =)

Seriously, Cthulhu is really the way to go.
