Magic Made Manifest

Whether born with a spark of innate arcane potential within them or gifted their sorcerous abilities by a powerful entity, Sorcerers at their core are walking incarnations of magical potential. A true Sorcerer is a rare occurrence amongst the races of mortals, and their innate power often leads to them being the center of attention. However, this power does have its downsides, and when not used, this sorcery will find ways to spill out into the world.

Often, the magic within a Sorcerer is what motivates them to adventure. Some are seeking out others who also wield these powers, and others look to master their innate ability.

Innate Arcane Power

Magic is an integral part of the life of any Sorcerer, suffusing their body, mind, and soul. For some, this power is inherited from a bloodline that carries the magic of a powerful being. Others manifest their power randomly, having it burst forth in unexpected ways. The appearance of power is unpredictable, some bloodlines produce a Sorcerer once a generation, and in others, each descendant has sorcerous potential.

Whatever their origin, Sorcerers have no use for the spell books of Wizards or the patronage of Clerics or Warlocks. They are their own source of magical power and learn to
    channel that power to produce wondrous feats of magic.

Sorcerous Origin

Your very soul bears an innate spark of arcane magic. At 1st level, choose your Sorcerous Origin from the options below: Draconic, Flame, Oceanic, Stone, Storm, or Wild Sorcery, each of which is detailed at the end of this class.

Your Sorcerous Origin grants you features at 1st level, and again when you reach 6th, 14th, and 18th level in this class.

Sorcery

The sorcerous spark within you allows you to spontaneously produce spells. At 1st level, you gain the following features:

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know four Sorcerer Cantrips of your choice. You learn another Sorcerer Cantrip at 4th and 10th level, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sorcerer table.

Sorcery Points

The Sorcerer table shows the number of Sorcery Points that you have to cast the Sorcerer spells you know of 1st-level and higher. To cast a Sorcerer spell, you must expend the amount of Sorcery Points indicated in the table below. You regain all expended Sorcery Points each time you finish a long rest.

Spell Level	Sorc. Points
Cantrip	0
1st	2
2nd	3

Spell Level	Sorc. Points
3rd	5
4th	6
5th	7

Spell Limit

Your Sorcerer level limits the potency of spells that you can produce, as shown in the Spell Limit column of the Sorcerer Table. When a feature allows you to expend Sorcery Points, you can never expend more Sorcery Points on that feature than it costs to cast a spell equal to your Spell Limit level.

Spells Known of 1st-level and Higher

At 1st level, you learn two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sorcerer spell list at the end of this class description. The Spells Known column of the Sorcerer table shows when you learn additional Sorcerer spells of your choice. All spells you learn must be of a level equal to your Spell Limit or lower. As an example, when you reach 3rd level as a Sorcerer, you can learn one new Sorcerer spell of either 1st or 2nd-level.

Whenever you gain a level, you can replace one Sorcerer spell you know with another Sorcerer spell of your choice.

Origin Spells

Each Sorcerous Origin has a list of Origin Spells you learn
at the Sorcerer levels noted in your Origin description. Your Origin Spells count as Sorcerer spells for you, these do not count against your total number of Sorcerer Spells Known, and you cannot replace them with other Sorcerer spells.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for Sorcerer spells, and is used when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability, setting a saving throw DC, or when making a spell attack roll:

Font of Magic

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your innate talent for the arcane to cast spells unknown to you. Once in between each long rest, you can cast any one Sorcerer spell of your choice, so long as it is equal to your Spell Limit or lower. You expend Sorcery Points and apply Metamagic effects as normal.

Innate Arcanum

You have begun to unlock the true potential of your sorcerous blood. At 11th level, you gain a single 6th-level spell slot which you can use to cast your Sorcerer spells, instead of expending Sorcery Points. You regain this Arcanum spell slot when you finish a long rest. Lastly, whenever you learn a new Sorcerer spell, you can learn spells equal to your Arcanum spell slot.

As a bonus action, you can expend one Arcanum spell slot to regain expended Sorcery Points equal to the slot's level.

You gain progressively more powerful Arcanum spell slots at certain Sorcerer levels: at 13th level (7th-level slot), at 15th level (8th-level slot), and finally at 17th level (9th-level slot).

Magic Incarnate

You have realized the full potential of your Sorcery, and bend magic to your will. At 20th level, any Metamagic you know has its Sorcery Point cost reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0), and
    you can apply any number of Metamagics to your spells

Sorcerer Spell List

Below are all spells available to Sorcerers, organized by spell level. They are from the Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything *, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything **.

Finally, you learn the Prismatic Spell Metamagic, and you can use it without expending Sorcery Points so long as you change its damage to that of your Draconic Ancestry.

You cannot replace this Metamagic with another, and if you already know it, you learn another Metamagic of your choice.
