Sorceror
Flavor
-Sorcerors are not an organization, rather they are the caster class. Jedi are referred to as sorcerors, witches or wizards. The Force is their magical power, for which individual practioners have numerous names.
Instead of Weapon Proficiency(Lightsabers), Sorcerors may begin with
Weapon Proficiency(Advanced Melee Weapons)

Jump and Mechanics are class skills for all Sorcerors
All Sorcerors have a weapon of choice. Many choose swords and staves as focuses for their arcana.

The Force:
The Force works as detailed within the Force section. The nature of the Force is the nature of magic. Techniques can be learned from books, teachers and other similiar sources. The Darkside represents dark magic, and the Lightside represents good magic. Magics not labelled are universal to all practictioners of magic. Thus, using dark magic will slowly remove your ability to use light magic.
Light magic typically concerns defense and healing
Dark magic typically deals with inflicting destruction and suffering
