Sorcerer

The Sorcerer (ソーサラー) is an enemy in Kingdom Hearts II who appears in The World That Never Was. It is considered the strongest of the lesser Nobodies because of their strong magical fields that they can project and the fact they are resistant to magic. It is controlled by Xemnas, using blocks of energy in various ways, such as a shield, much like Xemnas did in Sora's battles with him at Memory's Skyscraper and Hollow Bastion.

Kingdom Hearts II
''A sorcerer. A high-ranking Nobody. Immune to magic, it attacks with invulnerable cubes.''

''Watch out for the cubes while attacking the main body. The cubes disappear when the body is defeated.''

Appearances

 * Olympus Coliseum (Underdrome)
 * The World That Never Was

Anatomy
The Sorcerer has a strange anatomy; its body constantly pulsates (ironic to the fact that it has no heart) while its body (robe) flaps. It appears to wear a robe, much like one that its namesake would wear, and it has Organization XIII's emblem on the front of its robe. Instead of having distinct facial features, it has zippers forming a cross around its head. With the white robe and the zipped up sleeves, the Sorcerer looks like it is in a strait jacket. It also resembles, in posture, Xehanort's Heartless during the one-on-one battles with him in Kingdom Hearts.

Strategy
The Sorcerer uses magic cubes which hinder melee attacks, and it lacks a reaction command. The battle can be shortened by using Reflect at the right moment to inflict significant damage. A well-timed Reflect can destroy a Sorcerer in a single blow. It also has an attack during which it clubs you with its cubes. Use Reflect.

Another very good strategy makes use of the fact that Sorcerers are immune to most forms of magic with the exception of Magnet. Use the Magnet spell to stun it, and attack quickly. But if you use this, then beware of its magic cubes.

Also, one can avoid the cubes with a well-timed attack. In addition, when the Sorcerer appears, it usually does so without cubes. Take that opportunity to attack! If timed right the Sorcerer will be downed before or as the cubes arrive.

One other strategy that works well is to change into Final Form if it has been acquired. If you are in Final Form before fighting a Sorcerer, then you can attack with extremely quick aerial combos. It will be downed before its cubes arrive.

Oddly, it is the only Nobody that does not move from its posture when fighting. It always holds the pulsating appearance (Even when attacked, the Sorcerer will still hold its posture aside from blows).
