====== Sorcery ======
Sorcery is one of the wizardry disciplines of spellcasting. Sorcery
is probably the most generally useful wizardry skill, as it has the
most spells, providing many offensive, defensive, self-improving, and informational
functions. Sorcery spells belong to many different paths, so a caster who is
repelled or denied a particular path should still find plenty of
useful sorcery spells.
The sorcery skill is acquired by learning the skill from a scroll or
by having a talisman of sorcery. Spellcasters may also be created
with sorcery as part of their initial skill set.((is this true?))

===== Notes & Comments =====
* The description of Confusion could be better. Is it a cone-spell? What does the website spoiler mean when it says it's good against monsters with physical immunity? How does confusing them help?
* The description for Wonder is also a bit vague.
* Can Disarm disarm //any// trap, or is it limited by level somehow? Does it ever set off a trap accidentally like the disarm_traps skill does?
* A few spells don't have descriptions from either source; anyone who knows what they do, feel free to fill them in.
* Is there really a Null path (path_attuned == 0)?
