Sorcerian other
INTRODUCTION
In this book are written the secret principles which have been handed down from
generation to generation in our Sorcerian household.As you hold this book in
your hands,remember that you are a descendant of the Sorcerians.
In times long past, the Sorcerians servedthe Gods of the seven planets and
controlled many magical powers. In those times we lived among the Gods and never
died. We were almost like gods ourselves.
Long ages ago, as mortals count time, evil beings who opposed the will of Heaven
escaped from captivity and came to make their home among the people of the earth
At that time we acquired a new purpose; our ancestors were sent to earth by the
Gods to annihilate the evil ones.
But the earth is not like Heaven. Here the flame of life burns quickly,and they
realized it would be impossible to destroy the evil in one generation. Thus the
Sorcerians established themselves on earth as mortal beings and handed down
their sacred purpose from generation to generation.
When you have read this book, you who have inherited our blood must make a
decision; deny your Sorcerian heritage and live as normal mortals, or become a
Sorcerian adventurer, striving to achieve your ancestors' purpose and doing all
you can to destroy the evil forces of the five elements that will array them-
selves against you.
The evil ones use powerful magic and the once-godlike Sorcerians are now only
humans whose power is limited. Therefore you must learn the secrets of magic
which have been handed down through the generations.
Even though you are a Sorcerian, magic is not easy to control.It is a demanding
art which taxes your whole body, mind and spirit. You should realize that unless
your entire being has been trained, you will accomplish little but an early
death. Many techniques of might and magic must be perfected by the true ad-
venturer if the adventure is to achieve its purpose.
Before you embark on an adventure, choose companions whose desires and goals are
like yours, and who are likewise trained in the disciplines of body, mind and
spirit. When you have such a group, united in determination and purpose, go
forth and battle the powers of evil as we have been ordained to do. And may the
protection of the Gods go with you.

쿚N THE EFFECTS AND USES OF MAGIC.�
읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�
The magics available to you can be made into 120 different spells, by combining
the powers of the seven planets. The full knowledge of this cannot be written
here, for fear of this book falling into the wrong hands. However, here are
three keys to guide you in your study of the uses of magic:
THE FIRST KEY
컴컴컴컴컴컴�
Magic may be locked into an item, such as a weapon or some other personal item.
A person versed in enchantments can perform this task, granting powers to your
possessions.
The powers of the seven Gods combine in different ways, and not all of the Gods
work well together, so care must be taken in combining the powers of the planets
Magic can also be infused into potions made from the five sacred herbs. An
herbalist knows how to prepare herbs properly to bring out their magic powers.
THE SECOND KEY
컴컴컴컴컴컴컴
Since all magic is granted by the seven Gods, magic spells are characterized by
those things governed by the Gods whose magic is being called upon. Some magics
will be more effective than others against certain enemies, because of the
nature of the enemy and the nature of the magic. The character of the enemy can
be known by knowing its origins; the character of the magic can be known by
observing its effects.
Great care must be taken not to use the magic of one element against a creature
of that same element, for fear of strengthening your enemy rather than
weakening it.
THE THIRD KEY
컴컴컴컴컴컴�
The strongest and most powerful magics are those which partake of the powers of
the most Gods. These are the best magics for defeating enemies of the spirit
element.
