Sorcerers, or "diarmadhi", were thought to be extinct for many years. They were the old rulers of the world and of the "Merida" – a race of assassins. Sorcerers use the starlight in addition to the moon and sun. They are able to cross water without harm and are less susceptible to iron, but are vulnerable to mirror spells. A sorcerer may be trained as a Sunrunner, but the "faradhi" rings burn on their fingers when sorcery is used around them.
