Overview

Sorcerers are born with the ability to use powerful magic. They have fewer spells than wizards but can cast much faster and more often.

Sorcerers can innately cast arcane spells without needing academic training like wizards. They can only perform a fixed number of spells in this way, but they can cast them much faster and can do more damage over time.

Sorcerers, along with Favored Souls, get more spell points than any of the other classes. They also gain more bonus spell points from special magic items. As a result, they can cast more often.

Sorcerers cannot switch spells at taverns or rest shrines. They are able to switch spells but to do so they must undergo a special ritual than can only be done once every few days.

Spells
See Also: Sorcerer Spells
  • Sorcerers cast arcane spells.
  • Sorcerers cast spells faster than other spellcasting classes. The improvement is comparable to the Quicken feat, and stacks with Quicken, but does not prevent interruption of spellcasting as Quicken does.
  • Sorcerers also have reduced cooldown on most their spells, generally 50%-100% faster than a wizard, although it varies from spell to spell.
