Sorcerers are individuals who practice magic, often depicted in folklore and fantasy literature. They are typically portrayed as having the ability to manipulate natural forces or summon supernatural entities through spells and rituals. Unlike wizards, who may rely on study and knowledge, sorcerers are often seen as having innate magical abilities. In various cultures, sorcerers may be associated with specific traditions or practices, such as shamanism or witchcraft. They can be both heroes and villains in stories, depending on how they use their powers. Sorcerers often serve as guides or mentors to other characters, helping them navigate the complexities of magic.
