'''Description''': Sorcerers are [[arcane]] spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories - just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than [[Wizard (class)|wizards]] do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike [[Wizard (class)|wizards]], sorcerers cannot specialize in a [[Spell school|school of magic]]. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that [[Wizard (class)|wizards]] go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons.

Description: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline.

Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons.

Notes

  • In Avlis there is an Advanced Mage Specializations Overview which allows the implementation of spell-casting "prestige classes". The effect is intended to give spellcasters additional options and specializations tied to a closer or more advanced study of magic. Unlocking by a DM is required for this PrC.
  • Vortex Ranks may be granted to PCs who play a notable role in the world of mortal magic, to reflect a stronger connection to the Vortex of Mortal Magic. In terms of game mechanics, Vortex Ranks give benefits in Arcane spellcasting similar to Favored Cleric status for Divine spellcasting. Note: The term Vortex Ranks does not exist as an IC notion.
