Vulcan Soul
Sorcerers of the Vulcan Soul have a strong connection to the bloodline of smiths that engineered powerful artifacts of old. Whether touched by the haunted visions of ancient slaves at the forge of long dead evil kings, blessed by Moradin himself, or the progeny of master craftsman who forged relics the likes of The Sword of Kas; a Vulcan Soul Sorcerer has the power to will blades to life, and fealty.

Vulcan Blood
When you select this subclass you gain proficiency in Athletics. Additionally, you gain 1 max HP for every level of sorcerer you have.
Vulcan Masterwork
At 1st level you gain proficiency in Smiths tools. When you use this proficiency to make weapons, you may double their value.
Sentinel Blade
At 1st level you are able to summon an animated weapon that guards your life. Select a Sentinel Concept from the table below; You can learn one additional concept at 6th, 14th, and 18th level. Your Sentinel weapons share your space as they magically float around you, unless specified.
You require 1 hour to forge your sentinel weapons, which can be done during a long or short rest, where you may forge any number of Sentinel Blades.
Each type of Sentinel Concept comes with a burden cost. You can control any number of Sentinel Blades at once as long as the combined burden cost is equal to or lower than your proficiency bonus.
Sentinel blades are rendered inert while you are unconscious; and disappear should you die, dismiss them as a free action, or perform another forging ritual.
While you have your Sentinel Blades summoned, you are able to replace any weapon attack with an attack from one of the blades. Sentinel Blades deal magical slashing Damage; when used this way their attacks are considered spell attacks, and you may use Charisma instead of Strength for attack rolls.
All Sentinel Weapons have the Thrown Property(30/60). As a Reaction, you may recall all Sentinel Blades back into your space.
You are considered proficient with your Sentinel Blades, and only you can use the weapons created with this feature.
