Practitioners of the high magic of sorcery cast magic through a complex set of steps called a ritual. Through advanced study of the arcane arts, a Sorcerer uses their knowledge to shape and bend magic to their will. As the Sorcerer gains more knowledge, the complexity and potency of the rituals they can cast also increases. A Sorcerer forces their will upon the universe through the practicing of their art. Unlike low magic, rituals are more powerful and last longer.

These spell casters are able to make permanent magical effects, whether on a person or upon an item. Magic swords, items of defense and items capable of storing raw power and spells are among some of the effects a Sorcerer can create.

A Sorcerer who has mastered their trade is truly a frighteningly powerful person, but there is a drawback to all this power. The Sorcerer must prepare their magic ahead of time, taking up to several hours to cast the rituals. Given the time, resources and will, there is little a powerful, accomplished Sorcerer cannot achieve.

Few people who study sorcery advance past the third rank of sorcery. There are those dedicated and accomplished practitioners who learn the fourth and even harder, fifth rank of sorcery. Finally, a practitioner who studies and works for years and years may be able to learn Sorcery Rank 6 and become one of the exceptionally rare individuals to ever do so.

Sorcerers are one of the two direct paths from the Mage Basic Career List. Sorcerers are not bared from any other list except Spell Singing, however warlockery is the magic of Chaos and comes with extreme negatives to those who attempt both.
