For me, the former is far more interesting.

Yeah, I never played a wizard in 2e Athas (Thri-Kreen are too cool not play; so everytime I played Dark Sun I was a Ranger) so I don't recall at all how it works. I was just trying to figure out the point of 4e Defiling, as far as I can tell (unless I missed something) there isn't one.
