==Introduction==
[[Sorcerer]] is a catch-all term for practitioners of warpcraft that draw upon the power powers of [[Chaos]], ultimately being based on the power of daemons and the realms of Dark Gods. Through occult formulae and willpower these individuals can perform baleful miracles to achieve immediate mental and physical effects much like that of [[psyker]]s. A sorcerer does not need to have innate psychic ability to perform such warpcraft, but daemonic pacts are an easy path to power for those born as psykers.{{Fn|1b}} The border distinguishing the innate psychic powers of a psyker and sorcery isn't always clear.{{Fn|1c}}
The technological applications of the [[Warp]] include the schematics of [[imperial]] [[Warp]]-drives and imperial [[Gellar Field]]-generators have eerie similarities to arcane constructs used in sorcery.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}{{CME}} Seals, runes, wards, and other symbols are almost a universal feature of warp-technology, and is viewed with varying degrees of superstition or ignorance to their workings.{{Endn|30a}}{{CME}}
