Another option is bind-mounts. Simply create /sorcery/<whatever> and
put something like 
  /sorcery/<whatever> /var/<whatever>/sorcery bind defaults 0 0
in /etc/fstab.

Do remember to move the contents before mounting, as the 'real'
/var/<whatever>/sorcery is hidden once you have mounted something on
top of it.

BTW: Isn't /var supposed to be per machine? It's got stuff like
/var/state/run /var/lock and the like. Usually it's /usr or /home that
would be shared (fully or partially).
