Seems to me that this is generally a good thing. One of the problems with Ars Magica is that it is essentially a DnD clone, complete with fire ball.

That White Wolf has departed the DnD trope of incredibly combat-capable uninteresting magic and finally given it some class is an indication of just how much Exalted innovates.

Furthermore, with more non-combat options for spells, sorcerer PCs are more likely to take advantage of other avenues to power or glory. Why bother with a combat effective 26d6 fire ball when you can summon a magma kraken whose tentacles devestate all around it?
