The sorcerer is a Simple Realist: the world is real - but then so must consciousness be real since its effects are so tangible. The dullard finds even wine tasteless but the sorcerer can be intoxicated by the mere sight of water. Quality of perception defines the world of intoxication - but to sustain it & expand it to include others demands activity of a certain kind - sorcery.
