Default two short questions on magic items

Sorry, does anyone know what is meant by "sorcery"? (specifically: what is the difference between ring of wizardry and ring of sorcery?)

Also, does anyone know what happens when someone wields both of Picus' axes at the same time?

thanks

Elemental Magic refers to earth, air, water, fire. Sorcery Magic is everything else.

Elemental magic: fire, air, water, earth
Sorcery: astral, death, nature, blood
Priestly powers: holy, unholy (can't get both at the same time)

IIRC, you get bonuses to STR and ??? (I forgot it).

You mean Picus' axe and Procas' axe? The Axes of Evil! No, I don't know. However it sounds like they get added strength, added protection, a fear/awe effect of some sort, and maybe something else that affects population, in addition to -4 defense, dual-weapon penalties if not ambidextrous, and four axe attacks per turn.
