IMG sorcery is totally incompatible with the connection to the forest that supports Elfsense. A Rootless elf could learn sorcery. It would be very hard, but not impossible - and it would make you a Renegade.

The Dorastor book includes chaotic elves who are all sorcery users. I haven't decided whther to let them into my game.

One serious objection to allowing elven sorcerors in RQ3 is that they are extremely unbalancing. They can have free INT well above what is possible to any other race likely to be allowed to players, and an edge of even a few points of free INT gives huge advantages in a contest between sorcerors.
