The spells sorcerers use are all invocations of magical power that draw upon extradimensional entities. In some cases, these entities are known to the earthly realm: gods, spirits, and other archetypes. In many instances, however, they are entities wholly unknown to mortal historians and theologians, their names and invocations revealed only to those with the magic to plumb the depths of the multiverse and discover them.
The Lords Telluric

Such entities are likely to have found a way to appear to or otherwise influence Earth cultures at some point in the past, without need for sorcerers to invoke or otherwise draw them.
