Sorcerer

[Sorcerer Image]

In your late youth you left home to join the Guild of Enchanters. After years of schooling, you achieved the rank of Apprentice Enchanter. In fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, you were sent to find Krill, an evil warlock who had loosed a pestilence upon the land, and who threatened the very existence of the Circle of Enchanters. Only someone guileless and inexperienced in the ways of magic could slip into Krill's realm unnoticed. By defeating Krill, you earned a seat on the Circle of Enchanters, sitting at the right hand of your mentor, the leader of the Guild, Belboz the Necromancer. Several years have passed, and you have grown very close to Belboz as you studied under his tutelage, learning the ways of magic from one of the world's most learned practitioners. But lately, Belboz has seemed troubled, preoccupied, withdrawn ... small things only a friend would notice. You have even heard frightening noises coming from his chamber, and the cold shivers down your back. Could some evil spirit be at work here? You are sleepless from worry - Belboz is possibly the most powerful Enchanter in the kingdom. If his powers were used by the forces of darkness instead of the forces of light, who knows what would result? And now, unbeknownst to you, Belboz has vanished.

Packaging Details

The old "Folio" packaging of Sorcerer consisted of a box containing a pouch with a "Popular Enchanting" magazine, and an Infotater.

The re-release of Sorcerer used the standard box format which consisted of a grey box with coloured horizontal stripes. It contained a "Popular Enchanting" magazine, and "Field Guide to the Creatures of Frobozz" (replaced the Infotater).

The release of the Enchanter Trilogy included Enchanter, Sorcerer, and Spellbreaker each in their own standard box. The boxes were contained in a specially designed trilogy slipcase.
