Sorcery

Sorceries are one of the four available Spell types in Dark Souls III, the other ones being Miracles, Pyromancies and Hexes.
Casting sorceries requires a Sorcery Tool, as well as sufficient Intelligence.

Most sorceries can be learned from the sorcery trainer Orbeck of Vinheim, with some basic ones being sold by Astrologer Lillian at a higher price.

Sorcery Ascension is performed by Magician Quilon.
