A Sorcerer whose Sphere is Plants could ensnare and strangle foes in creeping vines - or grow strange and reviving fruit to heal injured characters. | The detail comes in the different Spheres of magic - SotS has about 20 - which govern the description and flavour of the magic, as well as the sorts of magic the Sorcerer could perform outside straight attack spells.

System Details and Special Rules
Sorcery
The sorcery system works as follows. Sorcery is powered by the Lore skill, and in most cases, consists of straight Lore-based attacks against physical or mental Stress. The Sorcerer rolls their Attack roll based on their Lore skill level plus any modifiers, and the target rolls their Defend roll - if any. (GM decides what skill is appropriate for Defend rolls, if any - default is Physique for physical Stress, and Will for mental Stress. Ingenious Sorcerers may be able to devise a spell form that gets around a particular defence.
For spell-casting where there is no specific target or harm intended, the action is an Overcome against a Difficulty set by the GM. Create Advantage can be used to boost chances of success.
