I'm reading a book "The Quintessential sorcerer". I read that sometimes the power of sorcerer was passed to him by a fey - most often because he is a descendant of fey.
I also read somewhere that all elves and gnomes are considered as fey, but most elves and gnomes are not sorcerers.
Can you explain it? About what fey are they talking in the "The Quintessential sorcerer"? Why do descendants of fey have a telent for magic? |

Fey are magical & the sorcerer has awakened that birthright in the form up his class based magic.
I'd also have to disagree with the above poster, Mongoose was IMO of all the publishers of D&D matterial (including WOTC--which put out of terribly broken stuff) the most balanced. Try Green Ronin or Legends & Lairs series if you want to find some broken stuff.
Note that some folks use "fey" and a mechanical descriptor, and "fey" as an adjective, liberally. |

If I am correct, almost all capable of crossbreeding with humanoids of them can give offspring with a talent of sorcery. |

Fey are considered to be innately magical -- so they pass that on to their non-magical offspring. Fey races have a connection to magic that is deeper than what most other races possess -- even wizards of other races. |
