In The Elder Scrolls Online, Sorcerer abilities are defined as those that belong to the Sorcerer skill lines, which include Storm Calling, Dark Magic, and Daedric Summoning. These abilities have specific mechanics and interactions that are unique to the Sorcerer class.
Werewolf Abilities Overview
When a Sorcerer transforms into a Werewolf, they gain access to a different set of abilities that are not classified under the Sorcerer skill lines. Instead, these abilities are part of the Werewolf skill line, which operates independently from the Sorcerer's abilities.
Do Werewolf Abilities Count?
Since Werewolf abilities do not belong to the Sorcerer skill lines, they do not count as Sorcerer abilities. Therefore, they will not trigger effects that specifically require a Sorcerer ability to activate. This means that any procs or bonuses that depend on casting a Sorcerer ability will not be activated by using Werewolf abilities.
Conclusion
In summary, while a Sorcerer can become a Werewolf and use those abilities, they do not qualify as Sorcerer abilities for the purpose of proccing Sorcerer-specific effects. Players should consider this distinction when planning their builds and strategies.
