Today we take a look at the history of the dark Warp energy surging through the ranks of Chaos. Let’s learn more about the Chaos Sorcerer.
Where the Space Marines Librarians use warp energy for what they see as the good of mankind. The forces of Chaos use the same energy for its demise.

The first Chaos Sorcerers emerged from the ranks of the Thousand Sons before and during the Horus Heresy. Some of these Sorcerers were exiled after the Rubric of Ahriman was cast and they now sell their services in exchange for sacrifices or the chance to hunt down arcane lore. Only the World Eaters destroyed their Sorcerers, Khorne having no interest in sorcery. If a Librarian overreaches himself and draws on too much psychic energy he may be granted visions of immortality and whispered promises of power.
Most Sorcerers are granted gifts by their god, which further enhance their psychic powers. They are also often selfish madmen, believing themselves superior to all others and on a mighty quest for power and knowledge to increase their mental fortitude and develop new ways of using their powers. Often the visions given to Sorcerers are unattainable, subsequently driving them to extremes in their desire to achieve these goals.
In addition to the Chaos Psychic Powers they can call upon, certain powerful sorcerers are able to wield Force Weapons.
