sorcerer
Caster of enchantments
A sorcerer is a person who practices magic or witchcraft, typically one who gains supernatural powers through study of arcane arts or pacts with otherworldly forces.
The term carries connotations of dark or forbidden magic more than *wizard* or *magician*, though these words overlap considerably.
In fantasy fiction and gaming, sorcerers often derive power from innate ability rather than learned spellcraft.
The village blamed the sorcerer for the mysterious plague.
