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, enabling you 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.

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

* EvilSorcerer: Guess who.
* 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 shooting the left ramp during multiball will increase all playfield targets by 2x, 3x, or 5x.
* 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.
