Sorcerer Class Guide • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

The Sorcerer is a Magicka-based class that focuses on flexible spellcasting, dark abilities, and some really clever utility. What makes it so fun to play, especially in solo, is how many different tools you have to stay in control of the fight. My favourite ability by far is Dark Exchange on the master side. It lets you remove health directly from enemies, which bypasses defence and even things like Elusive. Plus, it’s amazing for self-sustain – I end up using it almost every turn as my main tenacity spender. Combined with how easy it is to stay in Magic form and generate free tenacity, it just flows so well.

In this video, I go through every Sorcerer ability, explain when to upgrade to the master side, and cover which races, skill lines, and items work best with the class. I show exactly how I build my character, from placing stat tokens to picking dice, and then finish with a full solo gameplay demo. You’ll see how I combine Dark Exchange, Pulsar, and Power Stone to clear out enemies with minimal risk, and why this class is one of the most powerful in the game when set up properly.
