Strategy

These malicious mages are far different from common residents; They possess an array of deadly dark magic spells. All their spells bear a resemblance to spells obtainable by the PC. It can cast Dark Orb, which fires an extremely powerful ball of dark magic that easily breaks your guard. It also casts Dark Fog, which creates a black cloud some distance away. The haze not only obscures your vision, but also inflicts Poison build-up. And it also sometimes casts Dark Bead, which fires a wide spread of small dark magic bolts. Most often, they'll be casting Dark Orb, however. Whenever you encounter one, always make a quick dash toward it and finish it off. If it is in a group or has already seen you, then hide behind the nearest wall. Lure out the surrounding Residents and kill them to eliminate the Sorcerers' guards. Then, wait until the Sorcerer stops casting Dark Orb to have a good laugh, then rush toward it and kill it. One other thing to note: they have a weak melee attack that can cause Poison. However, it is nowhere near as deadly as its magic, and since they have 0 poise, you probably won't ever see them use the attack.
