Sorcerer Rules Summary

 I was recently pointed to Ron Edward's Sorcerer by Justin at Aboleth Overlords and it's been a pretty interesting read. In particular, it hits some of the same notes that I've been tinkering with in my own projects, particularly in the Sorcery and Sword supplement. In the process of reading, however, I found myself going back and forth trying to remember how this mechanic interacted with that process. This was doubly troublesome trying to connect what I had read in Sorcerer to the changes in Sorcerer and Sword and then to the changes made by fan hacks like this interesting looking Nausicaa hack

So I did what I usually do in such a situation: make my own rules summary. It's not comprehensive and leaves out any sort of GM advice or process, but it covers the bulk of what I'd have to explain to a player if I were to run it. In case anyone else might find such a thing useful, I've included it below.
