-This class offers a surprisingly effective combination of hand-to-hand combat and spell casting. The healing ability of the Sorcerer's spells makes it possible to tackle monsters of a higher level than you, much like the [[Assassin]] strategy. You should usually take a swing at a monster before fireballing it to heal yourself - just beware mana burn!

 == Race and Deity Choices ==
 Taking Human, Elf, or Gnome is an option, as the healing power of his spells lets you stay in combat longer, making human a good choice. Because you will be casting spells (sometimes just to heal), Elf and Gnome are good choices as well.
-When using the power leveling strategy, consider [[The Pactmaker]] for the extra XP from monsters.  [[Glowing Guardian]] loses a lot of worth since you'll be healing yourself with every spell you cast. Taking [[Mystera Annur]] or [[Taurog]] will severely limit the capabilities of this character, and is not recommended. [[Tikki Tooki]] is a fairly feasible choice if you don't open up with a physical attack, as is [[Jehora Jeheyu|Jehora]], unless you're depending on [[CYDSTEPP]].

-The best deity choice for non-Crypt challenge dungeons is [[Dracul]]. For relatively small price he will boost your mana (synergy with starting bonus), melee ability, resistances and will add lifesteal. A level 8 Sorcerer with Dracul and Platemail can kill [[Meat man#Boss info|Super Meat Man]] without poison - the boss regenerates health slowly, than you do.

-An Elf Sorcerer can survive this if he can find the fireball early enough. If so, most other spells are useless and may be exchanged for more mana. Then you can fireball high-level [[Wraith]]s to death and achieve level 7 with large parts of the dungeon still unexplored. Finding Mystera Annur early clinches the game for you, but make sure to convert as many glyphs as possible before joining. If Mystera Annur cannot be found, hope for [[BLUDTUPOWA]]. If fireball cannot be located early enough, alternatives include combinations of CYDSTEPP, [[HALPMEH]], and BLUDTUPOWA.

-Not that difficult. Since there is nothing to poison or weaken you, you can easily take on higher level [[Dragonspawn]]s and [[Warlock]]s. Just attack until you're on the brink of death and then use fireballs to heal yourself again. Just make sure to conserve some potions for the bosses and have a level up or two midfight.

-The Sorcerer has a special advantage against [[Animated Armour]]. Each time the sorcerer attacks one their Mana Shield ability will remove an additional rank of death protection from the animated armor. Consider trying a Dwarf so that you can survive hits from higher-level armors sooner. Even so, the quickest way to level is fireballing level 9 armors. Another decent race is halfling, since you will get a load of health potions to kill [[Golem#Boss info|Iron Man]].
