==Introduction==
In the [[Imperium]], Sorcerer is a catch-all term for unregistered [[Psyker]]s, especially for [[Mutant]]s with psychic abilities.{{Fn|1acitethis}} For followers of [[Chaos]], a Sorcerer is simply someone who uses the powers of the [[Warp]], be it by psychic powers, rituals or occult knowledge.{{Fn|1b}}
There is no hard distinction between the psychic powers of a [[Psyker]] and sorcery by other means.{{Fn|1c}} Similarly, there seems to be no hard distinction between sorcery and technological applications of the [[Warp]]. For example, the schematics of [[imperial]] [[Warp]]-drives and imperial [[Gellar Field]]-generators have eerie similarities to arcane constructs used in sorcery.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3}}
