->"I am the master, you are nothing."

''Sorcerer'' is a 1985 {{Pinball}} game designed by Creator/MarkRitchie and released by Creator/WilliamsElectronics. With the Sorcerer's flashing eyes and numerous taunts, it became the second-best-selling pinball game of the year, and is fondly remembered for its straightforward but challenging gameplay, fast action, and ornate art by Pam Erickson.

The table itself is the named Sorcerer, who is being challenged in a magic duel by the player. Invoke his title to build your magic power, then use it to summon demons, earn extra balls and light the special. But move quickly with the upper flipper, or else the magic will dissipate and leave you powerless. For more points, lock two balls to start multiball, then repeatedly shoot the ramp to build the multiball multiplier up to 5x.

A digital version of this pinball is available in ''Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection'' and formerly ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''. The latter game no longer offers it due to the developers, [=FarSight=] Studios, no longer having the licenses to all Bally and Williams tables as of July 2018.

!!''Sorcerer'' demonstrates the following tropes:

* AntagonistTitle
* BattleTrophy: Presumably, this is why the Sorcerer wears a set of human skulls on the sash around his waist.
* EvilSorcerer: Guess who.
* FemmeFatalons
* FlamingSkulls: The Sorcerer prefers flaming ''dragon'' skulls.
* {{Dracolich}}: Only the skulls and bony claws of the Sorcerer's flaming dragons are visible.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The Sorcerer has these on the backglass, which flash along with the game action.
* RobeAndWizardHat
* ScoreMultiplier: Not only is there an end-of-ball bonus multiplier (up to 5x), but multiball starts with a 2x playfield multiplier, which can increased to 3x and then 5x by shooting the left ramp.
* SpellingBonus: Build magical power (and unlock more benefits) by repeatedly spelling S-O-R-C-E-R-E-R.
* SummonMagic: Spelling SORCERER the first time gives an opportunity to summon a demon (and possibly hold the bonus over to the next ball).
* WizardDuel: The premise of the game.
* WizardBeard: Worn by both the Sorcerer and the wizard opposing him.
