A battling sorcerer is a warrior who combines magic with weapon's mastery to fight. They were common during the [[Mage Wars]], and all [[Slayer Dragons]] can be regarded as battling sorcerers.

Battleing sorcerers did not fight in towers, but tend to be the millitary leaders of tower-armies, or work as mercenaries. [[Wizard Breakers|The Order of Wizard Breakers]] was a very famous group of battling sorcerers during the early years of the Mage Wars.

==Armor and Weapons==
Magical armor and weapons was invented for and most often employed by battling sercerers. They also typically made their own equipment, or worked closely with master smiiths. Most magical items likely at one time belonged to a battling sorcerer.

[[Orichalcum]] and [[Adamantium]] were popular materials for weapon and armor construction. Orichalcum made the best weapons while Adamantium was the finest material for armor. [[Mithrill]] was also highly sought-after; a very powerful battling sorcerer might have Adamantium armor, an orichalcum sword, and a ring of mithrill, and equipped as such would be an army unto himself.

==Style and Technique==
All battleing sorcerers were well-versed in martial combat. In a fight against a non-magic using opponant, any battling sorcerer should be able to win without using magic themselves. Their spells were often complex, quick-to-cast, difficult-to-counter in nature, and were combined with their martial combat techniques.

==History==
The first battling sorcerers arose during the early years of the [[Mage Wars#The First Chaotic Period|First Chaotic Period]] though may have existed before the wars even began in [[B.G.A.]] 3700.

[[Kosta Guitain]] is often sighted as the first battling sorcerer, however since he fought many other battling sorcerers in his day, this is unlikely to be true. He is also often reffered to as the first [[Mage Types|Mageblade]](a type of battling sorcerer who uses swords to weave spells), but again he fought others who used this technique so he is unlikely to be the original.

Throughout this early period, they were often rogues, with no real allegance to anyone.
