TheSorcerer (Japanese:ソーサラーSorcerer) is anadvanced magicalclass which debuted inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. It is a playable class as the primarypromoted form of theDark Mage; it is the successor of the earlierDruid andDark Sage classes. Sorcerers primarily wield offensive magic, and inAwakening have exclusive access todark magic alongside normaltomes. TheNintendo DS remake duology also gives Sorcerers the ability to usestaves.

Aside from their access to dark magic, Sorcerers are differentiated from their counterpart magic classes - the offensively potentSage and the staff-proficientBishop - by their defensive prowess, having highdefense andresistance stats in addition to their excellentoffensive magical power inAwakening andFates. In exchange, theirskill andspeed are somewhat inferior. The role of a Sorcerer is that of an offensive tank, being able to take hits with relative ease while damaging foes in return; inAwakening andFates, it is further aided in this task with its unique access to theNosferatu tome, healing it even as it retaliates against foes.
