I am of the opinion that every living creature carries a piece of the otherworld within. That's why they have POW.
Sorcerers draw upon their personal 'otherworld' to do magic. I don't think it's difficult to create magic - just pump in enough MP and something will happen. The big difficulty lies in creating the magical effect you wanted. That's where the magic system comes. Every sorcerer uses some kind of system to produce (more or less) reliable magic.

Definitely.
