First, make sure the cache size is set to at least 300 mb(which can be done in the configuration program), and that you have at least 300 mb of free disc space. Then start a multiplayer game. Create all the characters, lock them, and start the game. You'll start in Irenicus' dungeon as normal, and can play normally from then on.
You may want to save the game and move the save file from the mpsave folder to the save folder, so you can continue playing your game in single player mode (and can set the cache size lower if you're short on disc space).
As for sorcery, it works like this:
The first difference between a mage and a sorceror is that a sorceror can't write spells from scrolls, though he/she can still cast directly from them.
A sorceror gets to pick a couple of spells each time he/she levels up, but you'll never getas many spells as a mage, so you'll have to plan ahead and pick only the most effective spells.
A sorceror does not memorize spells, but gets a number of spell points instead. A sorceror may be able to cast six level one spells, six level two spells and four level three spells a day, for example. These spells can be chosen from all the spells you picked, so you could cast six magic missile spells, or three magic missile spells, one armour spell and two chromatic orbs. You get to pick which spells you want to use at the moment of casting.
Look through some previous posts for the most useful spells for sorcerors.

The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew,
and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.
All the others fled. -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
