Conan's allies are on more than one occasion sorcerer's and on one occasion the most powerful magical artefact in the world is used by a sorcerer allied to Conan.I would suggest reading all the stories written by Howard, and then taking a look at Modiphius' Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of for a 'Howard Society' approved iteration of the magic of the Conan stories.It is far more prevalent than you make out.Just a few sorcerous acts in the Conan stories;Mesmerism of the voice and eyes used to command large groups of enemy soldiers, or to force someone to kill themselves.The vitrified bones of dinosaurs re-animated with sorcerous flesh on them to create 'dragons'.A tower of glass-like stone studded with gems a hundred feet high built in a single night using magic.Army-slaying mass disease/death spell.Summoning 'demon' flying mounts.Travelling the ether into previous ages.Entering the Realm of Dreams.Fireballs! (yes - see the Seers of Yimsha)Summoning storms with sorcery.Demon summoning/binding.Destroying the bodies of enemies using magic (melting the flesh after merely pointing a finger)Earthquakes.Need I go on?</blockquote>
