Hi, when I field a magic army (not very often...) I play only female, as I believe they are all convent sorceress. If I field a scroll caddy I field a male, fluffwise my general hired a male wizard to not have a debt with the temple. A male wizard should be cheaper as he could be blackmailed "Do you want a high payment? well, I make a call to the convent...." I a subtle society as Druchii I suppose a male could study sorcery if he manages to be not discovered.
To be so subtle and brave to break a rule is an honour for a Druchii.... until you get discovered!
If anything, we'd have a sorceror who'd use lore of death and lore of metal really well (furion and Hotek respectivly.)
Knowing Hotek, he'd wear a dark elf version of Chaose Armor so he can have all the armor he wants, and not have his spells tampered with. Being a preist of a blacksmith god, he'd also be pretty muscular (I'd be suprised if he didn't weild a maul like the Warrior preists do.)
Furrion would be a prettty powerful opponent, give how old he is and how strong in the dark arts, he'd have the +1 moddifier to cast.
Furion is probably somewhere between Morathi and Malekith in terms of magical skill, while Hotek is the single most skilled blacksmith alive in the warhammer world (as the best dwarven smiths died long time ago), Maybe Thorek can compare, but he's just the guy placing runes not making the base item, while Hotek does it from scratch.

Honestly if you want a male sorcerer it's rather simple, just use good old druchii double-think!
Your male sorcerer is not really a sorcerer but one of Khaine's holy priests! Even if of noble birth, Malekith would have little reason to object, after a sorcerer will -supposedly- be his doom, not a priest. If the temple says he's a priests, who's to say any different? And what druchii would have the balls to report him?
Conveniently druchii also have access to the lore of death, which is suitable for representing a spell casting priest of Khaine, if you want to make it extra fluff, simply ask your opponent if you can overlook the Sect Enimity rule, in exchange for not using dark magic, which is largely supposed to be confined to convents.
PS: Although I'm not a big fan of certain things in the Darkblade books, elves with beards namely, the Dark Mother, and Khaine being Khorne (which is silly considering his supposed temple uses a bunch of magic). I do like the idea of spellcasting priests of Khaine, and it seems to have been further validated by W.A.R.
The truth behind the Sundering:

Blessings and prayers, while acting as magic, are *not* magic. Look at D&D, there it's both magic, but one's arcane the other is divine
Here we have only magic using winds of chaos... and divine blessings separate from the eigth winds (vide prayers to Sigmar)
Priests of Khaine don't cast magic, they use Khaine's blessings empowered by sacrificial rituals.
