Sorcerers are trained to use their powerful magics to hinder or destroy the enemy. It is during combat that a mage has to come to terms with his deepest fears, and measure the depths of his courage. Combat spells and rituals are narrowly defined, but relatively quick in casting and reliable. Important considerations for battlefield use, whether it is to sap the enemy's defences, healing allies wounded in combat, or unleashing other powerful spells directly against the enemy armies.
