Sorcery

Sorcery specializes in magical text, runes, and other lore formats. Most loremasters with any magic capability will dabble in Sorcery one form or another. Like Neutral, you do not need to be born with any special gift in order to master it. Its domains are Sorcery and Rune magic. Male sorcery magic users are referred to as 'Sorcerer', while female sorcery magic users are referred to as 'Sorceress'. Unless said otherwise, all rituals are 5 meters wide and long.

## Schools

Aside from the 'general' section, there are 2 main schools. While a Sorcerer can cast from both, it is likely they will only be able to learn from one or the other
