Nice post and I really like what you outlined about clarity and power and how they are harnessed, why they are 'enemies' due to their potential of leading one back into that world of madness which is the non-sorcery world. Power of course being an enemy because of the element of control that it seems to provide. But in truth, the only way to handle power is to surrender to it. Power, clarity, and knowledge must all be balanced. Knowledge is what informs us about clarity and power. Perhaps we can define knowledge as the price paid by sorcerers before us and the legacy they left us as guidance. And then we add to that knowledge base, revise it at times, for future generations and thus carry on the legacy and lineages.
