Welcome to the Sorcerer Vocation for Dragon's Dogma 2. Vocations are a very important factor that will determine the skills and weapons available to your character, influencing your overall approach to combat situations in Dragon's Dogma 2. Some Vocations and unique abilities can be unlocked by gaining the favour of Maisters. These are masters of their respective Vocations, and can be found in various locations around the world.
How to Use Effectively
The Sorcerer Vocation performs best as a damage dealer, capable of loosing devastating spells over a wide area that really do deal a tremendous amount of pain. It is important for a Sorcerer to remain on the backlines, allowing the tankier Vocations to take the aggression of enemies while you lay waste to them from a distance.

Core Skills
Galvanize:
The user gains the ability to rapidly recover stamina. This can be used while moving, but its potency is reduced while doing so.
Bursting Bolt:
Unleash a ranged attack against an enemy that will attach and explode after a short delay. The type of damage this deals depends on the enchantment currently active on the weapon.
The Sorcerer Vocation is designed for one ultimate goal: to deal as much damage as possible with each attack. This is made easier with access to a wide range of fearsome spells that deal incredible damage, but this power comes at a cost.
Most of the Sorcerer's wide-range attacks deal a ton of damage in a significant area, but the downside is that these spells take a long time to cast. This cast time is called Incanting, and means Sorcerers need to be very selective about when they attempt to use their abilities.
If a Sorcerer attempts to use its powerful spells while getting too much attention from hostile enemies, they will likely be attacked and staggered out of their spells. So, it is important to have a tanking Vocation in the team, such as the Fighter, Warrior or Trickster.
