I was watching the Sci-Fi channel version of Dune and Children of Dune today as was thinking that Sorcerer would be great to use to play the game. This is what I got so far...
Sorcerers are the Fedaykin, Bene Gesserit, and anyone else trained in the Wyrding ways. Actually, now that I think about it, it could be anyone special, like Face Dancers and Mentats too.
Humanity - Your dedication to Muad'Dib or your dedication against him. Once you hit zero you give over to the other side. Kinda like how Paul went off into the desert to become that crazy ass preacher.
Demons - The Wyrding way is definately a parasite.
Contact, Summoning, & Binding - The entire training process.
Punishing - I got nothing.
Banishment - Giving up the skills your ass learned?
Descriptors These could be anything appropriate. They could even be backgrounds like Sietch born Fremen for Stamina, Bene Gesserit trained for Will, and Mentat trained for Lore.
Cover - This is easy. Fedykin, Bene Gesserit, Mentat, Sardukar. Pick your posion.

Hello,
Ah geez, this again. Whoops, did I say that out loud?
Check out Prescience and teleportation - sorcerers of Arrakis (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=987.0) for some neat thoughts about this stuff.
Best,
Ron
Ron,
This again? That thread was from 2001 man. What. Do you expect me to actually use the search function? Seriously who the fuck you think I am?
That is a neat thread though.
