Sorcerer Talents
The Sorcerer has 32 talents across 9 branches — and you will only ever spend 8 points. Below: what unlocks at each level, the picks that lock out an alternative, and which talents the game's own preset builds actually take.

Every talent costs exactly one point and none of them rank up, so the whole build is 8 yes/no picks out of 32. That is the constraint the rest of this page is about.
Unlocks by level
Points arrive on eight of the eleven levels — 4, 7 and 10 grant none — while branches keep opening all the way to level 12. So what you can reach runs ahead of what you can afford from the very first level, and the gap only widens: at the cap you hold 8 points against 32 available talents.

“Available” counts every talent in an unlocked branch, ignoring prerequisites — a talent behind another still needs its parent bought first, so the number you can genuinely reach is lower.
