Sorcerer SC: Gift of Arcana

Classic | Sorcerer

 

Arcana, the Classic Sorcerer

In their original conception, the Sorcerer was the caster that was something of a "machine gun mage", able to use many of the same spells other arcane casters can (such as the Wizard), while trading versatility for volume. As time as has gone on, however, the Sorcerer has been normalized in lieu of other improvements to the class.

In this game, one figures...why not both? What is more iconic than the idea imbued with innate magic whose power is simple, but homogeneously powerful.
