SORCERER
Sorcerers are dual-classed spell casters who approach the study of magic from a scientific and analytical point of view. Their major field of study is Sorcery, with their secondary field being either Enchantment or Black Magic (player's choice).
Though sorcerers may be intrigued by the mysteries of ritual and divine magic, they are generally much more interested in the theory and natural laws which cause spells to function. To these spell casters all magical phenomena can be explained in scientific terms; i.e., illusions are merely refracted light, levitation is a temporary relaxation of gravity in a restricted area, and summoning spells are no more than a selective application of the principles of interdimensional travel. Even such arcane magics as curses and conjurations are viewed by sorcerers as primary examples of the laws of association and contagion.
To this end, sorcerers will rarely associate with witches, druids, or (especially) shamans, whom they feel are both primitive and unscientific in their methods. Alchemists, astrologers, and magicians are viewed in a more favorable light, and sorcerers are generally fascinated (if somewhat baffled) by the methodologies of wizards, priests, and mystics.
Alignment is rarely of concern to sorcerers, as most of these spell casters tend to be somewhat skeptical of the standard concepts of "good" and "evil." As a result, many sorcerers adopt such esoteric and moral standards as suits their needs, or ignore only such considerations altogether. Sorcerers of this type are often among the most dangerous and unscrupulous of characters, offering their services to the highest bidders in exchange for wealth, influence, and power.
