I suggest you have a look to my latest book "More chess and more than chess" where I have a full section presenting several fairy pieces. Among them the Sorcerer, moving WZ, created by John Davis for his Grand Tamerlane Chess (presented on the CVP).

I went and took a look at Grand Tamerlane Chess; on the page, John credits the Sorcerer to Charles Daniel in Sorcerer Chess.

I actually felt sure that I'd seen the Sorcerer somewhere else, and more prominently, doing something else, for which reason I resisted using that name for my Magus, but I don't know where it is any more. I'm therefore changing the name of the Magus universally to Sorcerer, with thanks to Mr. Daniel.
