  It may be a legit bug, but you really only punish yourself when you do stuff like this. Besides, sorcerers are for when you realize you probably only use about 3-4 spells per level anyway. The challenge is in figuring out which spells are useful from low to high levels.

  On ps4 if a sorcerer has enough exp to move from lv 1 to level 2, save the game BEFORE leveling up and exit out to Siege of DragonSpear, Create a specialist mage and export it. Exit out of game back to to Baldurs gate and continue saved game. EVERY SPELL in the exported character’s book will be added to sorcerer’s known spells upon leveling up. This only works for a sorcerer going from level 1 to level 2 but it gives an extra 6 lv 1, 5 lv 2, 4 lv 3, and 3 lv 4 spells to that character!!! It only works then because at every other level up the game gives at least one spell pick and the glitch won’t work. Plan ahead on which spells to glitch into your spell list. I recommend find familiar for a LE sorcerer at the start I got because of the imp glitch. (See below)
  
  This trick also works for ALL MAGES any time they are about to level up from ANY level to another. Also works on multiclass from either class. (Ex: Fighter/Illusionist can get the glitch spell book when going up in the Fighter class also).
  
  Once exploiting the glitch, save game and delete the exported specialist mage because the excluded school from that character will be transferred to your other character.
  
  This is a great way to overcome the excluded school from ANY specialist spell caster. (Illusionists casting Necromancy for a example).
  
  Here’s a find familiar glitch for the imp. It cam be stuck permanently in mustard jelly form on purpose!!!! In Candlekeep, right before talking to Girion and leaving, polymorph imp into mustard jelly. Save the game (in case you blow the timing) and talk to Gorion. Tell him you are ready to go and a cut scene will start. When Gorion starts down the steps and hits the FIRST LANDING (about 3 steps) end the cut scene by hitting the “O” button and the game will continue the cut scene at the battle in the rock circles. If the imp doesn’t revert back to its natural form immediately, you have a mustard jelly for the remainder of the game!!!!! The spell won’t wear off and it’s magic resistance won’t allow it to be dispelled. It will lose the ability to change into other shapes (who cares about that). The mustard jelly can be placed in your pack by slapping it in the head successfully for a couple of times in a row and will remain a jelly once it is released.
  
  These glitches might work on other systems, don’t know for sure. I do know they work on the ps4 BGEE… Enjoy
