Skills

  • Essence Transit - Every mana point spent regenerates 2 health
  • Arcane Knowledge - Starting mana increased by 5
  • Mana Shield - Deals 1 damage per level whenever opponent hits you

General Strategy

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 Pactmaker for the extra xp from monsters. Glowing Guardian is especially good in the crypt as you will be doing hand-to-hand combat with this character. Taking Mystera Annur will severely limit the capabilities of this character, and is not recommended. Binlor and Tikki Tooki are always solid choices, so is Jehora, unless you're depending on CYDSTEPP.

Challenge Modes

Snake Pit

Nothing special here. Bring down high level enemies as soon as possible, while balancing your attacks between physical attacks and fireballs, to heal yourself effectively. Avoid being poisoned or weakened. Use midfight leveling to make Medusa easier to handle so you can preserve your potions for Nidhogg.

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..
