Sacred 2:Sorceress

NOTE: The contents of this page are exclusive content found only by installing the player-made mega-mod Diablo 2 Fallen.

The Sorceress The Sorceresses are on a quest for the "perfect" magic in its purest form. They feel that the other disciplines of magic are haphazard, and have instead chosen to focus strictly upon elemental magic. They mold the base elements into whatever magical forms they need - threatening all other magic disciplines with obsolescence. The Sorceresses believe that it is through the search for perfection that they will attain ultimate purity and ascend to their destined role as the most powerful mages in Ancaria. For centuries they have studied in secret, perfecting their art and biding their time until they will face their greatest challenge, either proving the purity of their magic or fading from existence.
