Sorcerer is a class in Elder Scrolls Online. Sorcerer is the class with the most magical abilities. It contains three skill lines, which each contain different types of spells for different roles. It is typically focused on lightning magic, similarly to the Dragonknight's emphasis on fire magic and Warden's use of ice magic.

In-Game Description: Sorcerers can use conjuration and destruction spells to hurl lightning bolts and create shock fields, wield dark magic to snare and stun, and summon Daedric combat followers from Oblivion to assist them.

Skills[edit]

Dark Magic[edit]

Dark Magic is one of three class skill lines available to Sorcerer characters. Skills in this line focus on stuns and utility spells and are good for a supporting role.

Daedric Summoning[edit]

Daedric Summoning is one of three class skill lines available to Sorcerer characters. This is very similar to Conjuration in that you summon Daedric creatures, such as atronachs and familiars.

Storm Calling[edit]

Storm Calling is one of three class skill lines available to Sorcerer characters. Skills in this line focus on magical DPS (damage per second) and burst damage, mostly themed towards lightning magic.
