Correct spelling, explanation: the noun sorcerer comes from the other noun sorcery. It’s an agent noun, which means that is derived from another word denoting an action. The suffix -er means someone or something performing a particular action. The suffix -or also creates an agent noun, but not in this case. Sorcerer is the only correct form and sorceror is just a mistake.

It’s easy to make a mistake because the suffix -or usually denotes a profession or a performer as well.
