Writing Worlds with Words

Arcana of Ithia: Sorcerers

Sorcerers have no formal institutions, and their magic stems from the divinity in their blood. They are typically a quarter divine or less and generally of higher class, as their divine pedigree allows for easier upward mobility.

Sorcerers form their magic using innate knowledge of a few Words of Power burned into their souls. They have striking appearances, be they enthralling, terrifying, or unimaginable. Casting magic drains the Presence, diminishing their divine presence. Their words become difficult to form, and their tongues become like lead.

Sorcerers do not have any formal organization and, thus, do not have a standardized ranking system. In addition to their limited Words of Power, sorcerers can enthrall weak-willed creatures such as lesser Greenskins, non-sentient undead, and some animals with their Presence. Using too much magic will cause them to lose dominion over their servants.
