Also called "Pre-Empire Sorcery", it is the direct manipulation of raw amorphia, rather than amorphia channeled and controlled by the Orb. This is the only form of sorcery that does not require the use of the necrophia present in trellanstone to contain and channel amorphia. Due to the incredibly unstable nature of amorphia, this form of Sorcery is extremely hazardous (as evidenced by Adron's Disaster). Use of Elder Sorcery was outlawed upon the creation of the Dragaeran Empire. Books on the subject are contraband, although Morrolan e'Drien has a large collection of such works.
