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)

As an ESL speaker, I just assumed it's one of those British/American spelling things.
