The heart of this "Hedge Wizard's Handbook" are the sorcerous Paths. Not quite as versatile as the magic of the Awakened mage (as in Mage: the Ascension), sorcery, or hedge magic has the benefit of not requiring its practitioners to possess an awakened Avatar.

As a World of Darkness supplement, this book is meant to be equally useful for any of the World of Darkness games, providing new character options and organizations to serve as antagonists and otherwise. It was eventually reworked as a Mage supplement, entitled Sorcerer Revised Edition.
