The exact KIND of power, on the other hand, is a more complex issue. We have abstracted nine bloodlines below. These bloodlines, as presented, are everything you need to play a Sorcerer character. That being said, these Bloodlines are very deliberately 'open ended'.

The exact details can be (AND SHOULD BE!) as widely varied and fanciful as your imagination, and the referee, will allow. But if you don't want to bother with all those details, you may simply play the material as presented.
