	For a magically-oriented hero, Sorcery is a good supporting skill. It makes little effect on basic level and/or with low [[spell power]], but on expert level Sorcery does a good job for a strong magician. It's a good idea to start with a hero whose [[specialty]] is Sorcery; for example, [[Malekith]] is possibly the best hero for [[Dragogeddon]] since he is basing in [[Dungeon]] and therefore [[Armageddon]] and ~~{{hv\|~~Black Dragon\|~~BlackDragon\|text=~~Black Dragons}} are both at his service. However, if a hero is more a warrior than a magician, and will probably never get superior spell power and [[knowledge]], possibly it's better to concentrate on something else, as e.g. [[Wisdom]] and [[Earth Magic]] are more universal.

	Sorcery is among mediocre secondary skills. The fact is that creatures cause significant part of the damage during combat, and enhancing spells like [[Bless]] can easily cause more damage than most of the spells causing damage. Perhaps the only exceptions are [[Armageddon]] and [[Implosion]]. In other words, it is more lucrative to spend the combat round's spell to enhance the troops than to cause damage to enemy creatures. The consequence is that [[Air Magic\|Air]], [[Fire Magic\|Fire]], [[Earth Magic\|Earth]] and [[Water Magic]] secondary skills - that similarly enhance the effect of spells - become more preferable than Sorcery.

			In {{hota}}{{-wh}} (v. 1.7.2) Advanced and Expert Sorcery are stronger, making the skill more viable and making specialists in the skill such as Malekith more dangerous once they've leveled up.
