Sorcerer

From Praemal

Sorcerers embody the raw power of magic. Sorcerous power wells within them from birth, often because of some mysterious aspect of their heritage. While some believe sorcerers have a demonic aspect in their family line, others trace their talents back to a more noble quality: They claim to be the descendants of the dragons themselves.

Sorcerers use magic as a natural expression of their own wills. They do not study their spells in books, nor do they possess other trappings of wizardry. Theirs is not a practice of obscure bits of lore supplemented by an eye of newt. The way of the sorcerer is inherent, undeniable power.

The innate magical power of sorcerers grants them a force of personality and natural charisma that draws people to them. Most have striking good looks, often with some exotic or unusual mark or trait, such as a particular birthmark, slightly pointed eyebrows, sparkling eyes or other aspect that betrays their supernatural heritage.

Sorcerers follow a particularly ancient tradition -- the original means of manipulating the magic of the world, they believe. They form ideas so profound and powerful that these ideas become spells. Because their power is acknowledged and respected, sorcerers often figure into the military, city watches, etc. Dwarves are almost never sorcerers -- they are wizards instead.

In Midwood, most sorcerers are red-headed children of Foxton on Moss whose mothers had the "fox dream."
