The Sorcerer

The pale half-elf muttered an incantation under
his breath, and his shadow came alive, taking the
form of a massive wolf. The shadow beast pounced
on the foolish bandit that had dared attack him, and
pinned him to the ground. The pallid sorcerer spoke
another incantation, and orbs of pulsing arcane acid
formed in his hands. The bandit let out a piercing cry,
filled with regret, as he struggled in vain to break
free from the sorcerer's living shadow. The scream
would be his last, as a wave of magically conjured
acid dissolved his flesh and bones to ooze.

As the grass and trees smoldered from the
great dragon's fiery blast, the smoke cleared to
reveal a young human man. His clothes had been
scorched away to reveal patches of golden scales
across his body. His eyes flashed bright with a glint
of gold and white jets of flame burst forth from his
fingertips. The wyrm reeled from the unexpected
impact, and as it fell from the sky, the scaled beast
wondered how this pathetic mortal had come to
wield power that rivaled that of a true dragon.

The young halfling girl ducked into an alleyway
and tucked the stolen loaf of bread under her cloak.
The market she had just come from had broken out
into chaos. She had attempted a simple enchantment,
just enough to convince a baker to give her a loaf for free,
but her magic had other plans. As she whispered her spell,
a crack like a bolt of lightning could be heard throughout the market, and instantly all the produce in the market square had spoiled. As she ducked into a nearby alley, she cursed the wild power that caused her to be abandoned by her family.

All three of the characters above are Sorcerers; living and breathing fonts of arcane power. Unlike other mages, they are one with their magic, and they can shape it to great effect.

Wild Fire

6th-level Emberheart feature
You can cause fire to erupt from the ruin of your foes. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a spell that deals fire damage, you can use your reaction to force creatures within 10 feet of it to make Dexterity saving throw. They take fire damage based on the size of the creature, as shown in the table below, on a failed save, and half as much on a success.

    You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of this reaction when you finish a long rest.

Kindle the Flame

14th-level Emberheart feature
Your body is restored when you draw on the elemental flame. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that deals fire damage, you can gain temporary hit points equal to the level of the spell + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

Primordial Inferno

18th-level Emberheart feature
Your flaming soul has become an inferno, making you more elemental than mortal. You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, and you gain immunity to fire damage.

Also, when you take damage from a creature within 60 feet, you can force it to make a Dexterity saving throw as a reaction. On a failure, it takes fire damage equal to your level.

Stoneblood

You are a Stoneblood Sorcerer, a mortal imbued with a shard of pure elemental earth who can access the powerful magics of rock and stone. Whether this power was given to you by a Dao warlord, the gift of an elder earth elemental, or you are a direct descendant of one of the ancient Dwarven fathers, you now wield the unyielding power of stone. Your magic makes you as rigid and unyielding as the mountains, and can subtly drive you to hoard precious gems and metals of the earth.

Crushing Blow

6th-level Stoneblood feature
You can empower your strikes with the
force of elemental stone. When you hit a
creature with an unarmed strike, you can
expend Sorcery Points (up to your Spell
Limit) to deal an additional 1d6 magical
bludgeoning damage to the target for each
Sorcery Point you spent.

In addition, while you are transformed into
earthen form, your unarmed strikes count as
magical for the sake of overcoming resistances
and immunities to non-magical attacks.

Extra Attack

6th-level Stoneblood feature
You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take
the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast a Sorcerer cantrip you know in place of one of the attacks.

Aegis of Stone

14th-level Stoneblood feature
You can ward others with elemental
earth magic. As a bonus action, you can
expend 3 Sorcery Points to ward yourself, or a
creature you touch, with an Aegis of Stone for
1 minute. While this Aegis lasts, the creature
is resistant to all non-magical bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage.

When a creature warded by your Aegis
of Stone is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the attacker and make one melee attack against it. You can only teleport in this way if you and the attacker are on the same surface.

Only one creature can benefit from your Aegis of Stone at
a time. Warding another creature dispels the previous Aegis.

Primordial Bulwark

18th-level Stoneblood feature
Your stalwart stone soul has made you more elemental than mortal. You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, and you are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

In addition, you can have up to three creatures under the effects of your Aegis of Stone at one time.

Stormsoul

Within you dwells a mote of pure elemental air, which grants you innate power over both breeze and storm. Whatever the origin of your power, your inner primal storm can drive you from whimsical and calm, to violence with little warning. Do you embrace the winds or do you seek to control the storm?

Esoteric Spell

When you cast a spell that deals force, necrotic, psychic, or radiant damage, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to change the damage type of the spell to another from the list above.

Extended Spell

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to double the spell's duration, up to a maximum duration of 24 hours.

Heightened Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw, you can spend 3 Sorcery Points to force one target of the spell to make their initial saving throw with disadvantage. The target makes subsequent saving throws as normal.

Imbuing Touch

As a bonus action, you can touch a nonmagical weapon and spend 1 Sorcery Point to imbue it with a spark of your magic. For the next minute, it counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks.

Immutable Will

When you would fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can use your reaction to spend 3 Sorcery Points to re-roll your saving throw, potentially turning failure into a success. You must use the result of the new roll.

Kinetic Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a Strength or a Dexterity saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points and change the spell's saving throw to target the other ability score instead.

This Metamagic only changes the initial saving throw. Any subsequent saving throws target the original ability score.

Magical Guidance

When you fail an ability check, you can use your reaction to spend 2 Sorcery Points to re-roll the d20. You must use the new d20 roll, potentially turning a failure into a success.

Misdirecting Spell

When you cast a spell that originates from you, you can spend 3 Sorcery Points to cause the spell to appear as if it had originated from a point you can see within 30 feet.

Quickened Spell

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to cast it as a bonus action.

Recycled Spell

When you cast a spell you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to cast it in a way that conserves your arcane power. If the spell deals no damage, misses its target, or otherwise fails to take effect, you can use your reaction to regain half the Sorcery Points you spent to cast this spell (rounded down), including the Sorcery Point you spent on this Metamagic.

Resolute Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a Wisdom or a Constitution saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points and change the spell's saving throw to target the other ability score instead.

This Metamagic only changes the initial saving throw. Any subsequent saving throws target the original ability score.

Seeking Spell

When you make an attack roll for a spell and miss, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to re-roll the d20. You must use the new d20 roll, potentially turning a missed attack into a hit.

You can use Seeking Spell if you have already used a different Metamagic ability during the casting of the spell.

Shielded Spell

When you cast a spell while you are within the area of effect of that spell, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to ignore the effects of that spell for the spell's entire duration.

Silent Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to cast a version of that spell that produces no sound. However, you must still speak the verbal components of the spell aloud as this Metamagic only removes the sound of the spell itself.

Sorcerous Fortitude

As an action, you can spend a number of Sorcery Points, up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), to grant yourself 1d4 temporary hit points per Sorcery Point you spend.

Sturdy Spell

When you cast a spell that requires your concentration, you can spend Sorcery Points, up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), to empower your focus. For each Sorcery Point you spend, you gain a +1 bonus to the first saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on that spell.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to cast it without providing any of the somatic or verbal components.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell that is incapable of hitting more than one target at the level at which you are casting it and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend Sorcery Points equal to the level you cast the spell (1 Sorcery Point for cantrips) to target a second target within the range of the spell.

Unerring Spell

When you cast a spell that requires an attack roll or a Dexterity saving throw, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to ignore the effects of half and three-quarters cover.

Unstable Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a target to make a saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to have the initial saving throw target an ability score determined by random chance. Roll a d12, and the spell's initial saving throw is changed to target the ability score from the list below.

If you roll a 1, your spell immediately fails. However, only the 2 Sorcery Points you spent to use this ability are wasted. You regain any Sorcery Points you used to cast the spell.

Wild Magic Surge

Updated 1st-level Wild Magic feature
After you cast a Sorcerer spell of 1st-level or higher, roll a d10. If you roll a number equal to the level at which you cast the spell, immediately make a d100 roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect.

If that effect is a spell, it is too wild to be affected by your Metamagic, and if it requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case, and the spell lasts its full duration.

Wild Sorcery

New 6th-level Wild Magic feature
You learn the Unstable Spell Metamagic, but it does not count against your total number of Metamagics Known. Moreover, for you, it only costs 1 Sorcery Point to use.
