[edit] General
A powerful spellcaster, member of one of the eastern mage clans, usually either the Vizjerei Clan or the Zann Esu Clan. In ancient times, a powerful order of sorcerers, the Horadrim, was formed by the archangel Tyrael to battle the Prime Evils exiled from the Burning Hells. The last of such order is Deckard Cain. Male Sorcerers are available as a playable character in the original Diablo, while Sorceresses are available in Diablo II.
[edit] Sorcerer in Diablo I

 at CHR LVL 50 |
Sorcerers in Diablo I were the most effective spell casters. Since they had the highest maximum magic out of all character classes, they could effectively use the high-end spells. These high-end spells required more than just a level one proficiency. One such spell was Golem, although it was never very powerful even at high levels, but certaintly could not be used effectively with a low spell level. This was primarily a sorcerer spell, since its life was determined by the caster's mana. Another primarily sorcerer spell was mana shield. This shield of magic made enemy attackers deal damage to the caster's mana rather than the caster's life. Other clases would not have enough spare mana to use it instead of their life. Many other character classes could never use attacking spells effectively like the sorcerer. With the sorcerer's high mana, he could effectively use spells repetively. This allowed him to cast the attacking spells multiples times to kill his enemies. He also had the fastest cast rate out of all character classes.
[edit] Stave Recharge Spell
Sorcerer's skill was not useful. The sorcerer could recharge staves for free, but this always lowered the maximum charges. This ability took away less maximum charge when the character level was higher, but at higher levels characters desire higher level spells on their staves. These higher level spell-charged staves contained less charges than lower level staves, making the skill still unused at high levels.
