Sorcery, merged with older thread Options

“Sorcery has no bounds or limits, except those that are put in place by the practitioner. It is the Study of Raw Power and often of Dark Energies. It stems from an Inherent need to delve into the deepest and darkest parts of One’s Self and although it may be dangerous and painful to Realise your Primal fears and desires it is well worth the effort”.

I was somewhat disappointed but not surprised to see so little interest in this category. I know that information is hard to find but so is anything that is worth the effort.

Although this is not the Path for everybody I hope that at least some of you are interested.

I am therefore inserting a basic description.

Sorcery is the need to study the deepest and darkest parts of ones self. Through understanding their primal desires, obscure passions, and emotionality the practitioner than draws on his or her own Raw Power. Most Sorcerers adopt an aggressive stance in their magical works. They tend to ignore whether or not they use their power for “good” or “evil, and often dismiss such concepts from their lives altogether.

Sorcery cares not what it changes.... it simply changes

Central to sorcery are Balance and Polarity within ones self, this can then be transferred to the world around us. The sorcerer is an expert at bending things to their own will. The most common way of achieving this is by using Twilight – this is a realm of the mind which is characterized by its extreme distortive properties, roiling energies, and occurrences bizarre enough to shock even the calmest, most accepting individuals. The practitioner can make changes in this shadow world that will then manifest themselves in the everyday world.

The unique art known as Sorcery is one which knows no bounds and has no limits, except those which are allowed by the user.

Another aspect of Sorcery is Glamour. This grants its wielder immense powers of persuasion. Ultimately it changes the way People Perceive the Person that is using it. It can Instill fear and create harmony. Oh and if you wish to temporarily change your appearance it can be useful to.

Hope this was some Help

Marconus, to use a common analogy, it's Douglas Adam's SEP field - the "Somebody Else's Problem" field.

An alternative name would be the "vanishing from mind's eye" technique. I agree though - it's equal to actual invisibility in effect.

I used it all through highschool to avoid the "no hats in class" rule - I always wore a black beanie (it was useful, because I was trying to grow out my hair). In fact, there was only one teacher who ever got through the effect, and that's because he was specifically trying to find me to make sure that the rule was applied. In assemblies there would be teachers patrolling the rows of students to try and "enforce the rules" - none of them noticed. Mr Van however (good friend of mine, I might add, which is why he singled me out) always looked for me.
From this, and other applications of similar glamours/charms, I've deduced that they work on the principle of focus. That as long as someone's will is focused over a broad area, it can be avoided, but when specifically and intentionally focused on an abberation (which under a broad-focus would have been missed), the charm can be penetrated.

In fact, it got to the point that if I didn't wear my beanie, some teachers would accidentally mark me absent.
