Sorcerer
Not all innate magic users choose to hone their craft, but those who do can become powerful sorcerers. The gifts of these wielders is passed down through families, though not all families are aware of, much less choose to practice, their unique skills. A sorcerer’s abilities can range from the elemental, to the illusionary, and beyond, and many members of this class will band together into collectives based on their talents.

The magic within a misguided or uneducated sorcerer is a dangerous force indeed.
