Some manner of sorcery, I'm sure.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
as in the standard "opens at 4" power pool or the Epic pools?
Hmm, wonder if a new character can snag it if they start at 1?
Screenshots or it didn't happen!

I have not yet leveled a new character in the beta to see if it also appears there when I actually level to 4
EDIT: During the respec process the Sorcery pool is NOT listed with the epic pools nor is selectable at any level during the respec process

If this is what I think it is.. I'll have to find more power slots. Squee!
Magical Burst and Rune of Warding make it to primetime, maybe!

Either blatantly magical-looking powers (with runes and whatnot) or staff-based ranged powers using the customizable staff skins. Possibly part of a set of Origin based power pools, so there'd also be a Tech/Gadget pool, a Science (Experiment?) pool, and so on for all four origins.

Looking at it on a freshly level 10 character, it says I have to purchase the power pool from the Paragon Market.

Perhaps it's an origin-based power pool, and Magic's pool is called Sorcery. Since it's an incomplete implementation the bug isn't just that Sorcery is there, it's also that Sorcery is listed for characters of other origins and should be called something for them. (I checked both Magic and Mutant origin characters and both list Sorcery.)
Players have long wished that character origin counted for something other than which DOs and SOs you can buy. Maybe this is how that will be implemented.

I wouldn't like it to be that restricted. What if my character is a techmage and I picked the Tech origin because of the origin power but would like access to the Sorcery power pool? And, for that matter, with that character I'd probably like access to multiple origin pools.|

But I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Do we even know that there will be other pools?
I doubt it will be restricted... many comic characters have some "crossover" in their origins.
Think of Batman as a Natural Hero who has a Gadgets power pool
A prime example of the Sorcery pool would be Magik. She's a mutant who also has magic based abilities.
If they add a new pool based on each origin it could give us that crossover flavor in game!
EDIT: Some additional info... it seems the Sorcery pool is a purchased power pool???

A new power pool? What sorcery is this?!

No, we don't know anything about that possibility. Nothing at all. Promise. Listen to the Jedi. This is not the power pool you're looking for.

But more power pools? More flavor? Awesome!
Are they preworked for customization so when that comes around? Boy howdee I hope so!
Yep, it must be bought (then again, it might be a VIP-only set, and it's not yet flagged... or it could still be in testing, and someone hit the wrong flag for it!).
I really hope they don't limit us by the selected origin. Like was already said, lots of characters cross over in origin. Hell, my AR/Dev Blaster I created as "natural", because I didn't consider any of the tech to anything special (if you run around with a sword, does that make you tech? :P).

Purchase from the Paragon Market hehe.....
Paragon you slay me.....
Here we go folks fasten your lapbelts we are in for a heck of a ride.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
It seems a new power pool called Sorcery was leaked to the I23 beta.
It has no tooltip info when you mouse over it and is not selectable when doing a respec...
Shall we all speculate as to what it will entail?
