A sorcerer (from Old French 'sorcier'; fem.: sorceress) is a man believed to be able to cast spells; he is usually compared to a black magician or a warlock. A Sorcerer is different from a Wizard in that he uses magic for personal reasons (money, fame, naked virgins, etc.) rather than public good. Do not ask a Sorcerer for a cup of sugar. Having the door slammed in your face is the least that could happen.
Sorcerer is also an interactive fiction game from Infocom, part of the Enchanter trilogy.
