Class Features
Proficiencies: Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a sorcerers gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail. Sorcerers require two free hands for casting and may only hold caster weapons while casting.
Spellcasting:
The Sorcerer casts arcane spells from a specialized list, which depends on its archetype. The Sorcerer does not need to prepare spells ahead of time - he may spontaneously cast any spell on his list from the appropriate slot. His sole casting stat also depends on the archetype, which dictates both the DC of his spells and his bonus spells. To cast a spell, a sorcerer must have a casting attribute score equal to 10 + the level of spell in question. If the casting attribute is not stated it is charisma and the spell list contains all sorcerer spells.
A sorcerer cannot regain spells by studying but he regains them passively at the rate of 1 level of spell slots / hour (so he can regain a level 1 slot in 1 hour a level 2 slot in 2 hours and so on. When he sleeps for at least 8 hours without interruption the sorcerer simply regains all spells.

All Purpose Magic: As a free action the sorcerer may sacrifice an unused spell slot to gain 2 + the spells level as bonus to a single d20 checks, which depend on physical attributes. The type of bonus is resistance for saving throws, competence for skills and enchantment bonus for attacks. The sorcerer cannot sacrifice unlimited spell slots such as from the 0th spell level.
Arcane Overcharge: A sorcerer can cast in a more powerful but more exhausting way. This ability works with all spells, even if enhanced by metamagic, as long as their casting time is a standard action or less. The casting time is increased to a full-round action (the spell is cast at the start of your next turn) and one spell slot must be sacrificed. There are several options:
Multi-cast: The sorcerer may cast another spell of a different spell slot. You need to expend a third spell slot at the level of the highest spell used. Focus-cast: The sorcerer receives a bonus to the caster level of the one spell equal to the level of the spell sacrificed. Additional she receives half the sacrificed spell round up as bonus to the spells dc. Meta-cast: The sorcerer may apply one metamagic feat with level adjustment equal to the level of spell sacrificed.
Absorb Magic Energies: The sorcerer may expend charges of wands to regain spell slots of the same or lower levels as a full-round action. The sorcerer may 'trade' as many of those spells as he wants during a single full-round action.
Additionally if the sorcerer saves successfully versus a spell she regains a spell of that spell level or lower.
Ultimate Power: Once per day, the sorcerer may make use of one of the following abilities:
Balanced Overcharge: You may use your arcane overcharge ability as a standard action, to focus- or meta-cast and count as having sacrificed a 4th level spell. Unstable Multi-cast: For the next three turns when using arcane overcharge you may cast one spell of each of the first three levels. If you are interrupted once this ability ends and you and everyone within a 3m burst of you takes 1d6 of damage per spell level of the interrupted spells. A reflex save halves the damage.

Wildmage
While most spellcasters learned how to control arcane energies and forge them after their own will, wildmages take a different approach, hurling raw unforged arcane power at their opponents and hoping for the best. Not controlling the magic they cast sometimes leads to very strong effects that a more disciplined approach can never get but sometimes does little or even harms the Wildmage.
