Most sorcerers relied on spells to aid them in the battle against the abyss.
With spells that could purify, scourge, smite, or simply bombard the nightmarish creatures and fiends to death, it was considered a common practice to stay away from these foul creatures during a battle.
At the very least, a sorcerer would strive to create distance while chanting his incantations.
It was rare to see sorcerers like Richard and Vagabond who preferred to get up and personal with these things.
But that didn't mean it was impossible.
Bodily Enchantments.
Specifically spells that could enhance bodily functions.
Enhancing muscle and bone density to improve physical strength, enhanced the muscles and joints in the legs to improve speed and acceleration... These sorts of things would fall under Bodily Enchantments.
However, their effects were much more significant than just simply enhancing body parts, providing significant boosts in physical power.
