The Sorcery Tree as of 1/20/2012.
Sorcery Abilities are combat enhancements, both active and passive, that are awarded by the spending of points in the Sorcery tree in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. These abilities most closely resemble traditional wizard abilities and spells in other RPGs. Like the other two trees, Finesse and Might, Sorcery abilities include three passive weapon masteries, a passive shield ability, and a four-ability branch that adds attack combinations to your primary and secondary weapons.
