        Yes, I'm not sure that sorcery is particularly bad at all, by Darudist standards. Not good for spiritual advancement, but very practical.

        (while I know its frightfully gauche to mention such things, in RQ3 sorcery and Kralorelan practices seemed very compatible.)

        I think sorcery in Kralorela is quite likely. Frankly, there has to be some sort of simple practical magic for the general populace. Martial arts is hardly of general usefulness, and most mysticism seems rather impractical for the day to day.

        In any case, its a given that Kralorelan sorcerers, should they exist, delight in overlength fingernails and mustaches, and ornate silk robes, and extraordinary hats.

	Cheers
