Editing Arcanis (section)

==Sorcerer==
Arcane magic users in Arcanis are collectively known as Sorcerers, but there two distinct types of sorcerer.

''Elder Sorcery'' is the earliest documented form of arcane magic use, and most closely corresponds to [[wizard]]ry. It is slow to cast and extremely focused on attention to detail, but this makes it potent - mechanically, Elder Sorcerers are the arcane magic users who can use [[metamagic]], in addition to selecting distinct arcane traditions to follow. The complexities it requires, however, make grasping it impossible for many races on Arcanis, including humans. Mechanically, only races with the Elder Sorcery racial trait, such as [[Elorii]], [[Ssanu]] and [[Sama]], can take the Elder Sorcerer class. Elder Sorcerer subclasses in the corebook are the '''Arcanist''' (focused on mastering metamagic), the '''Conjurer''', the '''Elorii Elementalist''' (an Elorii-exclusive wielder of elemental magic), and the '''Magi''' (a [[gish]] who fashions arcane energy into obsidian-hued blades and armor).

'''Eldritch Sorcery'' is the "young" magic, likened to a sledgehammer vs. the scalpel of Elder Sorcery, and is closer to the traditional D&D sorcerer, being a Charisma Caster vs. the Intelligence Caster of the Elder Sorcerer. This is the most widespread of the arcane magic styles in the modern era, since most races can learn it - only races with an affinity for Elder Sorcery, most dwarf subraces, and male ss'ressen have no affinity for Eldritch Sorcer. Eldritch Sorcerers can learn [[metamagic]] too, but they're not as good at it as the Elder Sorcerers. Eldritch Sorcerer subclasses in the corebook are the '''Invoker''' (focused on boosting the raw power of their spells), the '''Sorcerer-Priest of Sarish''', and the '''War Mage''' (a [[gish]]).
