With magic coursing through their veins from the second they’ve been born, sorcerers are very well-respected within their society, and they believe that they deserve it. After all, if they’ve been blessed with powers the moment they opened their eyes, wouldn’t that mean they were meant for something great? Many would say that sorcerers aren’t arrogant, but none of them had ever really come face to face with a sorcerer themselves, only ever heard of them.  
The arrogance is not performance. It is the sincere, deeply held belief that someone who received this much power at birth must have been intended for something significant, and that the world has not yet caught up to what that something is. They are loud because silence feels like concealment, and they have nothing to conceal. They are social because audiences are useful and adoration is its own kind of fuel.


They’re extremely loud and voracious, always in the center of attention. And they love every moment of it. However, don’t underestimate their abilities for their arrogance, because they can definitely walk the talk. They have the lips to turn water to wine and the hands to cast you away from this world.  
What they can do with Conjuration magic is genuinely impressive: they summon, they bind, they raise, they compel. The power is real, and they know it, and they will remind you of this if you give them any opportunity at all. The thing most people fail to account for is that beneath the performance, the power really is that significant. They are not wrong about themselves. They are just exhausting about it.


While every sorcerer has their own skillset–like how one may lean more onto elemental magic and the other on transformative magic–it’s still no lie that one should never anger a sorcerer. At least, if they want to live.

Sorcerer

"In our blood shines the wishes of the heavens, in our talent shines the wishes of humanity."

A sorcerer did not learn to do what they do. They were born already doing it, and that distinction matters to them more than it probably should.

The arrogance is not performance. It is the sincere, deeply held belief that someone who received this much power at birth must have been intended for something significant, and that the world has not yet caught up to what that something is. They are loud because silence feels like concealment, and they have nothing to conceal. They are social because audiences are useful and adoration is its own kind of fuel.

What they can do with Conjuration magic is genuinely impressive: they summon, they bind, they raise, they compel. The power is real, and they know it, and they will remind you of this if you give them any opportunity at all. The thing most people fail to account for is that beneath the performance, the power really is that significant. They are not wrong about themselves. They are just exhausting about it.
