Sorcerer (film)
''Sorcerer'' is a 1977 American thriller film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel ''Le Salaire de la peur'', it has been widely considered a remake of the 1953 film ''The Wages of Fear'', although Friedkin disagreed with this assessment. The plot depicts four outcasts from varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned to transport cargoes of aged, poorly kept dynamite that is so unstable that it is 'sweating' its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin. ''Sorcerer'' was originally conceived as a side-project to Friedkin's next major film, ''The Devil's Triangle'', with a modest US$2.5 million budget.

Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)
The sorcerer is a playable character class in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy role-playing game. A sorcerer is weak in melee combat, but a master of arcane magic, generally the most powerful form of D&D magic. Sorcerers' magical ability is innate rather than studied or bargained. Publication history ''Dungeons & Dragons'' 3rd edition The sorcerer class was introduced in third edition as being separate from the wizard class, having more in common with contemporary fantasy fiction than the Vancian spell system of previous editions. Sorcerers were introduced in the 3rd edition ''Player's Handbook'', and updated in the 3.5 edition ''Player's Handbook''. Compared to wizards, sorcerers' instinctive grasp of magic has more flexibility within the moment but less versatility overall.

The Sorcerer
''The Sorcerer'' is a two-act comic opera, with a libretto by W. S. Gilbert and music by Arthur Sullivan. It was the British duo's third operatic collaboration. The plot of ''The Sorcerer'' is based on a Christmas story, ''An Elixir of Love'', that Gilbert wrote for ''The Graphic'' magazine in 1876. A young man, Alexis, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks and social distinctions. To promote his beliefs, he invites the proprietor of J. W. Wells & Co., Family Sorcerers, to brew a love potion. This causes everyone in the village to fall in love with the first person they see and results in the pairing of comically mismatched couples. In the end, Wells must sacrifice his life to break the spell. The opera opened on 17 November 1877 at the Opera Comique in London, where it ran for 178 performances. It was considered a success by the standards of that time and encouraged the collaborators to write their next opera, ''H.M.S. Pinafore''. ''The Sorcerer'' was r ...
