How it plays
The Sorceress casts Fire, Cold and Lightning spells. She combines elements (for example freezing to control and igniting to blow things up) and can swap weapon sets to chain effects.
Who it is for
Players who prefer to attack from range, enjoy big numbers and accept being fragile as long as they stay at a distance.

Tips to get started
- Pick one main element and use a second only for control (for example cold to slow).
- Keep your distance: for a spellcaster, positioning is a big part of defence.
- Spirit skills such as Blink and Arctic Armour help a lot to survive the first acts.
