Magicians strive to reach the heights of magical power. If they follow this journey to its end, choosing paths to complement what they have learned, they join the most powerful users of magic in the world.

Hopeful magicians must first discover a tradition of magic to begin learning spells. Discovery can be accidental, resulting from being affected by a spell, stumbling into an area steeped in magical energy, or finding its power within. Discovery can also be taught. Ancient institutions of magic, wizards, witches, and others reveal traditions to promising students.

Upon discovering a tradition, the magician learns the most basic spells from it. All this prepares magicians for the process of learning greater and more powerful spells.

Since magicians freely choose their traditions, they display a range of capabilities. Some favor destructive magic, learning spells that let them harness elemental forces of wind, rain, fire, and earth. Others prefer subtler magic, favoring charms to manipulate the minds of others or illusions to deceive and conceal. Magicians can also be conjurers, loosing monsters to fight on
their behalf, or engineers, creating servants and machines from spare parts they pick up along the way.

The possibilities magic offers also present many perils. More than one magician has succumbed to dark magic’s temptations, dabbling into the arts of Forbidden, Necromancy, or worse traditions. Such magic almost always corrupts the magician, but those seeking its power rarely care.

Improved Spell Recovery When you use Spell Recovery, you regain two castings instead of one.

Sorcerers learn the methods of sorcery, a dangerous spellcasting technique that amplifies the effects of spells by seizing greater amounts of magical energy from the environment. Sorcery reliably enhances the spells it modifies, but the residual energy lingers in the caster, controlled by sheer force of will. Should the sorcerer’s control slip, all the pent-up energy rushes free in a destructive burst.

Sorcery has been around since the dawn of the Empire, with the first sorcerers serving as little better than living artillery. The havoc their magic loosed eventually saw the Empire abandon the practice. Though efforts have been made to stamp it out, sorcery remains very much a part of the world.

Craving even greater power, you use sorcery to supplement your magical abilities. Your ambition tempts you to use it more and more, often to disastrous effect.

Level 3
Attributes: Intellect, Will
Increase two by 1

Characteristics Health +2, Power +1

Magic: Explosive Darts
You discover a tradition or learn one spell.

Sorcery
Whenever you cast an attack spell, you can use this talent to make your attack roll with 1 boon or to impose 1 bane on challenge rolls made to resist your attack.

Each time you use this talent, you gain 1 strain, which represents your effort to contain the residual magical energy within your body. If you have any strain when you complete a rest, your strain total drops to 0.

Sorcerous Outburst
At the end of any round in which you gained 1 or more strain, you must make a Will challenge roll with a number of banes equal to your strain total. On a failure, magical energy explodes from a point within your reach into a sphere with a radius in yards equal to your strain total. The energy deals 1d6 damage per point of your Power to everything in the area other than you. A creature in the area that gets a success on an Agility challenge roll instead takes half the damage. Once you trigger your Sorcerous Outburst, your strain total drops to 0.

Level 6
Characteristics Health +2

Magic You discover a tradition or learn one spell.
Learned Arcane Lightning

Greater Sorcery
Your understanding of Sorcery improves. Greater Sorcery replaces the Sorcery talent. When you cast a spell, you can choose to gain 1 strain and apply any one of the following effects to the spell.

• Empowered Spell If you cast an attack spell, this talent grants you 2 boons on your attack roll and imposes 2 banes on challenge rolls made to resist this spell.
• Enlarged Spell If the spell affects an area, you double it. Thus, if the spell would affect a sphere with a 5-yard radius, you could affect a 10-yard radius instead.
• Far Spell If the spell affects an area or a target other than you, you can increase the range from touch to short range, short range to medium range, medium to long, or long to extreme. Thus, if you would choose a point within short range, you can use this talent to choose a point within medium range instead.
• Lasting Spell If the spell has a duration, you can use this talent to extend it. A duration of 1 minute becomes 10 minutes, 10 minutes becomes 1 hour, 1 hour becomes 8 hours, and 8 hours becomes 24 hours.
• Potent Spell If you cast an attack spell that deals or heals damage, you can use this talent to increase the damage dealt or healed by the spell. If the spell deals damage or heals damage to one or more targets, each target takes or heals 2d6 extra damage. If the spell deals or heals damage over time, the spell instead deals or heals 1d6 extra damage.

Level 9 - Master
Characteristics Health +2, Power +1

Magic You discover a tradition or learn one spell.

Sorcerous Blast
You can release your strain as a blast of magical energy. You must have at least 1 strain to use this talent. Use an action to reduce your strain by 1 and make an Intellect or Will attack roll against the Agility of one creature or object within medium range. On a success, the blast of energy hits and the target takes 2d6 damage.
