There's a passage in (I think) _Issola_ that says something along the 
lines of "...until you achieve the requisite skills in sorcery, 
necromancy [and some other skills], then bind your soul into object, 
allowing you to call yourself a wizard, whatever that is worth."

Wizardry, if Vlad can be believed there, requires some sort of biding 
beyond just being a great sorceror.
