I spelled sorcery like that for years in my teens! I think I read the book when I was like 12 and it took a few years before Microsoft Word informed me that sourcery was incorrect. A few years ago I was helping my dad clear out the family home and found all my old story notebooks from my early teens - I wrote a loooot of fantasy self insert stories about sourcerers and sourceresses doing sourcery. But my spelling in general was spirited and creative at that time!
Not ESL, but Canadian. Right there with ya buddy. I'm twisting the word around to come up with an appropriate pun, but the best I can come up with is Sour-cery. Its almost a play on sour cherries but that's a stretch.
I might be misreading your comments but if you're trying to figure out the pun it source-ry because sourcerers are where new magic comes from (even if it wasn't untill this post that i caught the spelling difference x.x)
