Sorcerers and sorceresses conjure up more pleasant images than wizards and, especially, witches do. Sorcerers seem wiser, better intentioned, and better looking! Witches are usually regarded as ugly and malevolent.

Wizards rely upon accumulated learning and wisdom, sorcerers their own innate talent.-- That sounds like a definition from an internet game...and the spelling confirms it.
