Strategy
The first half of the fight is fairly simple, dodge or (if you can) deflect the Fire Orb, and get some damage in. At 50% HP however, you've got to be prepared to drift over the holes in the floor, and give yourself room to dodge all four orbs.(it is possible to hit the fire balls while they are circling the sorcerer)
To give yourself as much dodging space as possible, hug the edge opposite The Sorcerer. Once he's shot four times, move to the center and he'll dash at you, dodge and hopefully he'll be in a position for you to get a few hits in before he repeats. If you are near him when he begins to spawn the fireballs, switch to the shotgun or diamond shotgun and shoot him at a range that will destroy the most fireballs; the ensuing explosions can significantly damage The Sorcerer.
Pre-Release
The Sorcerer had a previous form that was much larger and shot bullets in a fashion similar to the Diamond Shotgun. It was likely meant to be the main boss of the south originally. It is referred to as "Gunslinger" in the game's files.
