Lisanna,
Pry just opens the chest, automatically setting off any trap it contains, while Disarm Trap tries to disarm it, using your sorcery skill as 'picklock' skill. So when you use disarm trap and your sorcery is high enough for that chest, you successfully disarm it and it will open. But if it isn't, there is a chance that you just won't open the chest, but also a chance to set the trap off.
Resurrect has a failure chance, dependent on the target's fortitude. If it fails the target will be turned to bones, and you'll need rebirth to make him/her alive again.
Sorcery: some spells are heavily dependent on it, like disarm trap. But most spells just get a bit more effective with higher sorcery. I read somewhere 10 points higher sorcery make spells do twice the damage. This is slow enough for me to first get the higher level spells, which do more damage too, and only later increase sorcery. It is NOT true that you need sorcery level 5 to be able to learn/cast 5th level spells.
