Description: Sorcery is perhaps the most well-known realm of magic. Its practitioners tend to approach the study of magic as scholars and take an intellectual approach to mysticism. They tend to be more secular in nature and are very concerned with preserving their traditions. They derive their power from channeling astral energy and are particularly accomplished in manipulating the elements. In fact, given the proper preparations, they are able to summon astral beings that take form as manifestations referred to as elementals. Due to the fact that there is no established central ethos within the realm of sorcery, the purpose of their practices is left open to interpretation. Ideals and goals can vary quite a bit from one guild to the next. Within the collective you can find militant organizations, some seeking wealth and power, and some which operate as ascetics and study sorcery for sorcery's sake, among others. The ideals held by any one guild within the realm of sorcery are ultimately determined by the elders, or in some cases the single leader, of the organization. This lack of cohesion often results in disagreement and even infighting between the guilds.
