The Diablo 4 Sorceress was revealed at BlizzCon 2019 and is Diablo 4’s true mage class. This latest incarnation of the class, like other returning classes, will likely follow in the same mould as the original which was described by Blizzard as: | The Diablo 4 Sorceress was revealed at BlizzCon 2019 and is Diablo 4’s true mage class.

<blockquote>''A rebellious woman who has wrested the secrets of magic use from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East, the Sorceress is an expert in mystical creation ex nihilo. Though somewhat lacking in the [[skills]] of hand-to-hand combat, she compensates for this weakness with fierce combative magic for both offense and defense. Solitary and reclusive, the Sorceress acts based on motives and ethics inscrutable to most, and sometimes seems capricious and even spiteful. In reality, she understands the struggle between Order and Chaos all too clearly, as well as her role as a warrior in this battle.''</blockquote> | <blockquote>''A rebellious woman who has wrested the secrets of magic use from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East, the Sorceress is an expert in mystical creation ex nihilo.

The Enchantment system was first shown on 29 September 2020, but has changed since the initial reveal (see archive [[below]]). | |||
Part of the Sorceresses class mechanic, it allows the player to add a selected skill to the skills Enchantment slot (Press S key) and gain a bonus power from that skill. The Skill can still be slotted and used as normal. | |||
[[File:Enchantment Slot.jpg|alt=Enchantment Slot|none|thumb|900x900px|Enchantment Slot]] | |||
=== How to unlock the Enchantment system === | |||
The system is unlocked via a quest called Legacy of the Magi where the player will need to battle through the [[Lost Archives]] dungeon and collect missing pages for the NPC [[Mordarin]] who is located Southwest of [[Nevesk]]. | |||
When the pages are returned to Mordarin you will take part in a ritual which goes wrong. Mordarin will then give you the Codex and the Enchantment system will unlock. | |||

The female mage clan of Zann Esu is one of the oldest of the ancient clans, although little is actually known about them. Centuries ago, the fourteen powerful covens of Esu witches convened for the first time in generations. What they discussed is not known, but the witches left behind their former lives and, as a group, disappeared into the Eastern Jungles. | The female mage clan of [[Zann Esu]] is one of the oldest of the ancient clans, although little is actually known about them.

The exact location of their community is a mystery. Until recently, their only contact with the outside world occurred during the recruitment missions. Once every seven years, the Zann Esu visited certain families across [[Sanctuary]]. These families had one thing in common — they each had a seven-year-old daughter. Always good-natured and polite, the Zann Esu visitors would meet the girls, ask a few questions, and then leave. A select few of the girls were visited a second time and offered apprenticeships. The families of those chosen enjoyed good fortune for many years after. | The exact location of their community is a mystery.

Previously, if you placed a skill in the Enchantment slot, you could o longer use it as an active skill, but your character instead gaines a secondary bonus power. | |||
This was changed slightly where the skill could be used and the an extra power was attached to each skill.[[File:Sorceress-Enchanment-System-2.jpg|alt=Sorceress Enchanment System|thumb|none]][[File:Sorceress-Enchanment-System-1.jpg|alt=Sorceress Enchantment System|none|thumb|Note the empty round slot above the main skill slots.]] | |||
