- "Sorcerer of Vinheim Dragon School. Casts soul sorceries."
- — Character Creation
The Sorcerer is one of the classes in Dark Souls.
This class' primary form of attack is through casting sorceries, and start the game with the Soul Arrow sorcery. However, their high Attunement and Intelligence means they can make the use of either sorceries and/or pyromancies.
Sorcerers' expertise in sorceries are at the expense of having poor physical damage output. Their dexterity, unlike their strength, is decent, however.
For new players playing blind, Sorcerers can be tricky, since the merchants for the other spells must be found before new spells can be obtained.
The Pyromancer and Wanderer classes both start with 4 free Resistance and superior armor compared to the Sorcerer, and are better classes to choose for a dedicated mage if one purchases a Sorcerer's Catalyst and Soul Arrow from Rickert of Vinheim right after arriving in Lordran.
