Sorcerer is an umbrella term that covers the mystical and magical casters in the world of Grayhawk. There are nine arts of magic (see here) with magic user being the basic entry level sorcerer of the world. At fifth level (or any level thereafter) the sorcerer gets a chance to specialise in a particular area of magic. This specialisation is explained here (level classifications) - there are five avenues open to the magic user with four more requiring specialist training.
Initially the sorcerer gains the number of magic points from the attribute of the same name. Thereafter he gets d4 magic points per level. Spells cost 1 magic point per level (eg a third level spell costs three points - but will gain the sorcerer 300 experience points). Sorcerers regain magic points by sleep. One point of complete rest will recover one point of magic - a full eight hours sleep will recover all magic points.
