Unofficial Description: Sorcerers have an innate ability to access magic and channel it. This ability may be due to some magical being in their ancestry, exposure to a powerful magic item or plane, a gift or curse, or just the whim of nature. Unlike Wizards, they don't learn magic formulas, and unlike Warlocks they don't draw their power from another source. They are magic.
