A Sorcerer Nobody is mostly light grey, save for a small area on either side of its waist, which is a darker color, and some black markings. It appears to wear a long robe that covers almost every part of its body, including its face. The Nobody's hands are seemingly permanently connected by the sleeves of the robe, and its individual arms are only distinguishable by the black seam of the sleeves. The Sorcerer's head sports a black cross pattern that wraps around the back of its head, and its shoulders are pointed. The lower half of the robe is mostly featureless, except for a few stray black markings and a white Nobody emblem at the bottom. Sorcerer Nobodies share the level of flexibility all lesser Nobodies have, and they constantly pulsate.

 

==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 [[Sora]] with its cubes, use Reflect.

Another 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. Beware of its magic cubes, if doing this.

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).

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts III,'' Sorcerers appear exclusively in Battlegate 3 and when trying to defeat the pink Shadow in Scala ad Caelum. In both cases, they will spawn after a certain amount of enemies have been defeated, or if a certain amount of damage has been done to the pink Shadow. In either case, they summon their cubes much more quickly, and are still immune to all elements, rendering all magic and some Formchanges ineffective. However, physical or Neutral attacks(including neutral Magic attacks) will deal full damage.

It is hard to attack a Sorcerer when it is swinging its cubes around, as they deal heavy damage and hit a wide area. If defending against Wild Dance or Chaos Shot, stand back and block the cubes when they appear. If it is using Chaos Shield, either back off, or close in and repeatedly block and use Reprisals to deal decent damage.

In order to combo a Sorcerer, wait for pauses between its attacks and close the distance with Airstep. However, be wary of Chaos Shield, which it may use if you're close and it's not vulnerable. It's much easier to attack a Sorcerer if it targets Donald or Goofy.
