(he does that in book one - Chanting Blood and Souls for My Lord Arioch while sacrificing enemies on the field of battle.) . Elric also discovers in book one that all the rituals of sorceror including the time on ritual magic, seem to be replacements for proper circumstance and true need (... when he performs an incredibly elaborate summons by chanting a rhyme to Straashah in his head ... ).It would seem a mistake not to interpret these and some of the abilities exhibited by Yrkoon in terms of the classes... especially Warlocks / Wizards(Summoning).I considered the Warlord angle as the characters moves wielding Stormbringer are sometimes neglectful of his own health (Bravura?) and force openings that allow allies opportunities to attack.(this is expressed as how he and his longest running companion rogue fought together).There are sorcerors in his world that move their souls out of there bodies in order to be  virtuallly unkillable ("Warforged?") and ones from the Far East who were unlike Melniboneans at all who used sorcery in ways elric considered alien and certainly felt like druids ( In areas of his world which Elric considered un-mapped.)Elrics's world does seem to have characters from the nonmartial classes but they are fewer and farther between. Elric is a dimension traveller as much as anything else and did see characters with strange and different abilities and could easily become engaged in a quest with such.. He adventured with Archers and Rogues and Warlords, largely martial in nature and fought monsters and hoards of minions.</blockquote>
