I did not say shaman had better countermagic then others. I said because they have more power starting at mid level so they can burn through other people defenses more easy . And shaman tend to gain power faster then others if played right. I tended to keep my power around 15 and then feed power to the fetch until I felt the fetch was powerful enough ,as this gave me a good chance for power increase rolls and still enough power to succeed on most spells I cast. This also meant over time my Shaman could have more power to make magic items since I would make more power increase rolls. And in most areas there are plenty of different spirits that can provide shaman with spells to cast. Add to the fact since shaman learn how to summon spell teaching spirits they can easy learn what ever spells they want with no problem , unlike a sorcerer who has to find a teacher or book to learn from.
Might add one big draw back for sorcerers should always be that just because you want to learn a spell does not mean there some body at the local bar that can teach you it. A big restriction on Sorcerers should be on how they learn spells.
