Sorcerer

Golden eyes flashing, a human stretches out her hand and unleashes the dragonfire that burns in her veins. As an inferno rages around her foes, leathery wings spread from her back and she takes to the air.

Long hair whipped by a conjured wind, a half-elf spreads his arms wide and throws his head back. Lifting him momentarily off the ground, a wave of magic surges up in him, through him, and out from him in a mighty blast of lightning.

Crouching behind a stalagmite, a halfling points a finger at a charging troglodyte. A blast of fire springs from her finger to strike the creature. She ducks back behind the rock formation with a grin, unaware that her wild magic has turned her skin bright blue.

Sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly influence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. One can't study sorcery as one learns a language, any more than one can learn to live a legendary life. No one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer.

Class Features

As a sorcerer, you gain the following class features.

Spellcasting

An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origin, fuels your spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the sorcerer spell list.

Metamagics

Enduring Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 2 sorcery points to reinforce it. The first time you fail a saving throw to keep your concentration on the spell, you do not lose concentration.

Extended Spell

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 10 minutes.

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 10 minutes, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 1 hour.

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 hour, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 8 hours.

Heightened Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 2 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Piercing Spell

When you choose this Metamagic option, choose a damage type.

When you roll damage of that type for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the damage ignore resistance to that damage, and treat immunity to that damage as resistance.

You can use Piercing Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Prepared Spell

When you ready a spell using the Ready action, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make holding onto the spell not take up your concentration.

Additionally, if you did not cast the spell you readied before the start of your next turn, you regain any spell slot you spent readying the spell.

Quickened Spell

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 1 sorcery point to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip).

To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level. For example, magic missile and scorching ray aren't eligible, but ray of frost and chromatic orb are.

Font of Magic

At 2nd level, you tap into a deep wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is drawn from your sorcery points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.

Spell Catalyst

At 2nd level, as your control over your innate magic grows, you can function as an arcane focus. You can allow a creature touching you to use you as an arcane focus for spells they cast until the end of your next turn.

When a creature casts a spell while using you as an arcane focus, you can use your reaction and spend 2 sorcery points to influence the spell in one of the following ways. You must use this reaction before the spell's effects activate.

• Guided Spell. You add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to the attack or damage roll of the spell.

• Strengthened Spell. You add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to the spell save DC or damage roll of the spell.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to directly shape the magical energies around you. When a creature casts a spell while using you as an arcane focus, you can use your reaction to affect the spell with a metamagic you know, spending sorcery points as per normal.

Sorcerous Recovery

Your sorcerous body feeds on magic, turning the raw energies of the world into powerful sorcery. At 3rd level, your innate connection to magic allows you to regain some of your arcane energy when resting.

At the end of a short rest you can recover sorcery points equal to your sorcerer level. Once you use this ability you must complete a long rest before you can use it again

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Spontaneous Sorcery

Starting at 10th level, you can use your inborn talent for arcane casting to spontaneously learn new spells. As a bonus action, choose a Sorcerer spell from your list of spells known, expend a number of Sorcery Points equal to the spell's level, and replace it with a Sorcerer Spell of the same level or lower.

Once you use this ability you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Sorcerous Arcanum

At 11th level, your innate sorcerous power manifests as a Sorcerous Arcanum, a powerful arcane spell. Choose one 6th-level spell from the sorcerer spell list as this arcanum. It does not count against your number of Spells Known.

You can cast your arcanum spell once, without expending sorcery points, and you regain all uses of your Sorcerous Arcanum when you finish a long rest.

At higher levels, you gain more spells that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level.

When you cast your Sorcerous Arcanum spells you can apply a Metamagic you know to the spell as long as the spell is eligible. At the end of a long rest you can replace one of your Sorcerous Arcanum spells with a spell of the same level from the sorcerer spell list.

Sorcerous Actualization

At 20th level, your ability to freely manipulate magic goes unparalleled. You gain the following benefits:

• You regain 10 expended sorcery points whenever you finish a short rest.

• Your Metamagic options all have their sorcery point cost reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1).

• You can use your 6th- and 7th-level Sorcerous Arcanum spells twice per long rest.

• You can apply any number of Metamagic options to a spell, as long as you have the sorcery points to do so.

Sorcerous Origins

Draconic Resilience

As magic flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Elemental Affinity

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell. Additionally, you have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestor.

Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Draconic Presence

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the dread presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened. As an action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet.

For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura until the start of your next turn.

Additionally, you gain immunity to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestor.

Raw Magic

You are capable of tapping directly into the source of arcane magic. Your magic is unfiltered, powerful, and hard to control, capable of both increased power and unpredictable side effects. You might have been born with this innate capability, or perhaps an encounter with powerful magic has imbued you with these chaotic abilities.

Surge Control

At 14th level, you gain a measure of control over your raw magic surges. Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic table, you can reroll the die. You may use either roll. Additionally, when you are imperiled, the magic within you can lash out; immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Wild Magic effect.

Unlimited Power

Beginning at 18th level, you are able to directly overcharge your spells at cost to your own well-being. When you roll damage for a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you may spend a number of hit dice up to your Charisma modifier. You and any targets of the spell take force damage equal to the total rolled. You can use this feature only once per turn.

Godtouched

The gods are beings of immense power, but yet, they are distant, refraining from directly meddling in the affairs of mortals. Instead, they invest mortal agents with their powers to carry out their will upon the material plane. A Godtouched is one such agent, imbued with divine power by the gods to complete a specific quest. You might have been godtouched at birth, or through some divine revelation later in life. Your magic is divine, your very being carrying a spark of the gods’ own power within it. Unlike other agents of the gods, you require no faith and no ritual to channel their might.

The gods have vested you with a purpose, a fate, a destiny to fulfill. It may be a legendary prophecy, or an enigmatic quest that you yourself do not know the extent of. You may receive celestial visions or messages concerning your destiny, and dark forces are almost assuredly working to stop it.

Channel Divinity

Beginning at 6th level, you are able to channel divine energy to fuel magical effects. Each Channel Divinity option listed below explains how to use it. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which option to use. You must finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your sorcerer spell save DC.

Blessing of Life. When you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you can cause the creature to regain additional hitpoints equal to 1d10 + the spell's level, using your Channel Divinity.

Blinding Rebuke. When you are damaged by a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see, you can use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to cause a blinding flash of light to erupt in front of the target. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn.

Empowered Radiance. When you roll damage for a spell, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal additional radiant damage equal to the spell’s level + your Charisma modifier to each creature damaged by the spell.

Seraphic Form

At 14th level, your divine essence causes you to undergo a physical transformation. Your appearance takes on an otherworldly aspect, simultaneously beautiful, kind, and imposing. You gain proficiency with Intimidation and Persuasion, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for ability checks that use them.

Additionally, you are able to briefly conjure spectral wings to bear you aloft. As a bonus action you can conjure these wings, granting you a flying speed of 30 feet until the end of your turn. Whenever you fall, you descend 60 feet per round until you land, which you do safely. You choose the appearance of the wings, such as angelic or bat-like.

Martyrdom

Starting at 18th level, you are a divine beacon even in the darkest of times. When you are reduced to 0 hitpoints, a burst of divine energy is released from your body, affecting all creatures within 60 feet of you. Hostile creatures within the radius must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your sorcerer spell save DC. A target takes 8d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Friendly creatures within the radius gain 8d6 temporary hitpoints. Once you have used this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Arcane Scion

You are the descendant of an arcanist of great renown, a specialist in one of the eight schools of magic, whose mastery was so complete that their very blood was imbued by magic. Whether this ancestor was many generations past, or your own parent, their arcane mastery has again manifested in you, giving you an innate access to magic that others would have to study and learn. You have a particular affinity for your ancestor's favorite school of magic, and are able to wield it to great effect.

Sorcerous Consumption

At 6th level, you learn how to consume and repurpose magical energies for your own usage. When you take damage from a spell, or successfully end a spell (via means such as counterspell or dispel magic) cast by another creature or object, you can use your reaction to regain a number of expended sorcery points equal to the level of that spell.

You can do this twice per short or long rest.

At 9th level, you can do this three times per short or long rest.

In addition, you have resistance to damage dealt by spells and other magical effects.

Spell-tinkering Savant

At 14th level, your study into the ways of magic allows you to alter the effects of a spell from your ancestor's school of magic beyond the capabilities of most spellcasters. When you cast a spell from your ancestor's school of magic, you may apply one of the following effects. You may do this a number of times equal to half your Charisma Modifier (rounded down, min 1). You may only use one of these effects per spell, per turn. You regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

• If you cast a spell that requires concentration, you can spend 2 sorcery points to gain advantage on concentration saving throws for that spell. If you already have advantage, you can instead reroll one of the d20s, taking the higher result.

• If the spell has a range of self, you can spend 4 sorcery points to target a number of willing creatures up to your charisma modifier (minimum of one), within 30 feet. You can only use this option on spells of 5th-level and lower.

• If you cast a spell that deals damage, you may change all damage dealt by the spell to force damage.

Boundless Intuition

Starting at 14th level, your ancestor's influence has allowed you to learn spells normally unavailable to those of your ilk. When your Spellcasting feature allows you to learn a cantrip or a spell of 1st level or higher, you may learn a Spell from your ancestor's school. This spell can be from any class's spell list.

Spell Master's Legacy

At 18th level, the innate influence of your ancestor grants you their own power, the ability to cast one of your ancestor’s signature spells.

Choose a spell of 1st or 2nd-level in your ancestor’s school of magic that you know. You can cast that spell at will as if expending a 2nd-level spell slot. If you want to cast the spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.

By spending 8 hours in self reflection, you can exchange the spell you chose for a different spell of 1st or 2nd-level in your ancestor's school of magic that you know.

Stoneblood

Your blood comes from a steadfast lineage, touched by the elemental forces of the earth itself. Be it the blood of ancient dwarves first formed from stone or from a dao lineage from another plane, your blood runs thicker and your heart beats more steady than others. While particularly common among the genasi and the dwarves, these sorcerers can appear in any bloodline with ancient roots.

Blessed with natural resilience and command over the stones on which they stand, most these sorcerers are solid and deliberate in both action and thought, slow to act, but once set on a course they become stubborn and immovable from their chosen path.

Heavy Blows

Starting at 6th level, you can infuse your earthen armament with the crushing weight of the Elemental Plane of Earth. When you hit a creature with a your earthen armament you can expend sorcery points to deal force damage to the target, in addition to the weapon damage. The extra damage is 2d6 for 2 sorcery points, plus 1d6 for each additional sorcery point you spend.

The maximum number of sorcery points you can expend on this ability is equal to half your sorcerer level, rounded down (minimum of 1).

In addition, attacks you make with your earthen armament count as magical for the sake of overcoming resistances.

Aegis of Stone

Beginning at 14th level, your connection to the Elemental Plane of Earth deepens. As a bonus action, you can expend 2 sorcery points and grant an aegis of protective earth magic to yourself, or one creature you can touch. The creature gains resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage for 1 minute. If you use this ability again the effect immediately ends for the first creature.

In addition, when a creature hits the protected target with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the attacker and make one melee weapon attack against them. You can teleport in this way only if you and the attacker are on the same surface.

Primordial Bulwark

Starting at 18th level, your being is altered by the power of Elemental Earth. You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, and you have permanent resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

In addition, you can use your Aegis of Stone to protect up to three creatures at one time.

Stone Forming

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous.

You touch a stone surface or the ground, and call forth stone that shapes itself to your command. You can make any roughly shaped item from the stone, including functional simple or martial melee weapons. You are proficient with these weapons. Items crumble to pebbles after 1 minute.

Heavy Blow

1st-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.

You impart great heft to a weapon you are holding. The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack with that weapon during the spell's duration, your blow strikes with great force, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 bludgeoning damage to the target and must succeed a Constitution saving throw, or become stunned until the start of its next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd. When cast with a spell slot of 4th level or higher, a target that fails the constitution saving throw is stunned until the end of its next turn.

Earth Ripple

2nd-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a cracked pebble)
• Duration: Instantaneous.

You cause the earth to deform and ripple, a target creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or suffer one of the following effects of your choice:

• It is pulled into the earth, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage and have their movement speed reduced to zero until it or another creature spends an action to dig them free.
• It is slammed in a direction of your choice, taking 2d8 bludgeoning damage, being moved 5 feet, and knocked prone.
• It is impaled by a spike of rock, taking 4d8 piercing damage.

Orbital Stones

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 Minute.

You lift three small to medium rocks or similar objects from within 10 feet of you, causing them defy to gravity and slowly circle you. While all three are in orbit around you, you have total cover against ranged attacks. While two are in orbit, you have three quarters cover, and while only one remains, you have half cover. The spell ends when none of them are orbiting you.

As a bonus action while at least one object remains in orbit, you can magically fling it at target within 60 feet. Make a ranged spell attack roll. On hit, the target takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage and is knocked 5 feet directly away from you.

Xorn Movement

5th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a scale from a xorn's hide)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You or a creature you touch can travel through the earth itself without leaving any mark of passage. The target gains a burrow speed equal to its walking speed. In addition, when burrowing through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone, the target leaves its hands free and doesn't disturb the material it moves through. The recipient can extend the magical aura of this spell to bring any object or creature it is carrying or grappling as it burrows. The target enjoys no special protections from this effect except for the cover of the stone or earth around it.

If this spell or its effects end on the target or any other object or creature placed within stone or earth by means of this spell, you or any such object or creature are expelled from the earth, moving at 60 feet per round toward the nearest open space large enough to fit into comfortably and taking 6d6 bludgeoning damage upon exiting into that space.

Entomb

6th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a chip of granite)
• Duration: 8 hours

You cause slabs of rock to burst out of the ground or another stone surface to form a 10-foot cube within range. When the cube forms, a creature inside must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be trapped in the stone tomb. The tomb is airtight, with enough air for a single Medium or Small creature to breathe for 8 hours. Divide the time evenly between the number of creatures trapped within. A Large creature counts as four Medium creatures. If the creature is still trapped inside when the air runs out, it begins to suffocate.

The tomb has an AC 18 and 50 hit points. It is resistant to fire, cold, lightning, bludgeoning, and slashing damage, is immune to poison and psychic damage, and is vulnerable to thunder damage. When reduced to 0 hit points, the tomb crumbles into harmless powder.

Fault Line

This spell doesn't damage permanent structures.

Greater Stone Shape

7th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (soft clay, which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the object)
• Duration: Instantaneous

This spell functions like stone shape, but you may shape a stone object of Huge size or smaller. The stone object you touch can be up to 15 feet in any dimension. You can also mold intricate detail into your creation, such as a stone set of double doors carved with intricate designs and up to four hinges.

Wind Soul

At 18th level, you gain immunity to lightning and thunder damage. You also gain a magical flying speed of 60 feet. As an action, you can reduce your flying speed to 30 feet for 1 hour and choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures gain a magical flying speed of 30 feet for 1 hour. Once you reduce your flying speed in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Wintry Ascendant

An old legend speaks of an ancient queen so hard-hearted and cold that her very heart turned to ice, her touch was frigid, and her mind as unstoppable as a glacier. Her beautiful and terrible power has come to fruition within you. Perhaps you came in contact with a magical relic from the deep north that once belonged to her, or you are a long forsaken descendant of this old monarch. Will you one day take up the throne of the old queen? Or does it mean nothing to you, and you'll forge your own path of ambition?

Regardless of your destiny, wintry ascendants are cold in both soul and body. Consider how this has been beneficial or detrimental to your relationships in the past and how it may yet affect you. It could lead to having stilted relations with others, or pragmatic, business-like ones.

Snow Castle

Beginning at 14th level, over the course of one minute, you can choose an area of ice no larger than 150 feet on a side within 600 feet of you, or you can freeze an area of water of that size. You can reshape the ice in the area in any manner you choose. You can raise or lower the ice's elevation, create or fill in a trench, erect or flatten a wall, or form a pillar. The extent of any such changes can't exceed half the area's largest dimension. For example, if you affect a 150 foot square, you can create a pillar up to 75 feet high, raise or lower the square's elevation by up to 75 feet, and so on. You can't shape the ice to damage a creature in the area, but you can shape it to trap them. Each 5 foot section of the ice has an AC and hitpoints equal to your sorcerer level.

Additionally, you can designate one structure of your choice that you have created and shaped with this feature as your Snow Castle. Doing so makes the surrounding landscape in a 10 mile radius change to winter over the course of one month, and your Cutting Northern Wind extends to the entire 10 mile radius of the Snow Castle. You can't designate a structure as your Snow Castle again for 7 days, and once you do, the previous one melts.

Winter's Regal Armor

Starting at 18th level, you have gained a frozen heart and can don the attire of a winter monarch. You can spend 5 sorcery points as an action to don Winter's Regal Armor. Its appearance is up to you, it replaces or goes over your present clothes, and only you can wear it. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to all damage.
• Creatures who deal damage to you with a melee attack take your sorcerer level in cold damage.
• Cold damage you deal treats immunity as resistance.
• Creatures you kill with cold damage become petrified and stand as statues or shatter (your choice). They can only be returned to life by true resurrection and if you die.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Pillars of Winter

3rd-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You cause moisture in the air to condense into up to 2 icy pillars within range, or 3 if you are in a snowstorm. Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 15 feet, and they conjured floating 15 feet above the ground.

At the start of your next turn, the pillars fall to the ground. If a pillar falls onto a Medium or smaller creature, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it takes 2d6 cold and 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained, pinched between the pillar and the ground. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and must move 5 feet in any horizontal direction or fail the save automatically. A restrained creature who could move 5 feet can make a Strength or Dexterity check (their choice) as an action against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must move from under the pillar.

Once the pillars fall, you can use your bonus action to cause one or more of the pillars to shatter. Each creature within 5 feet of the shattered pillar must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 cold and 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. After the damage is dealt, a creature restrained by the pillar is no longer restrained.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its full duration, the pillars become permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, they fade when the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you create one additional pillar for every spell slot above 3rd.

Ice Shield

2nd-level abjuration

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you fail a Dexterity or Constitution saving throw that deals damage
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

A shield of ice coalesces to protect you from oncoming danger. Until the start of your next turn, you gain 2d6+6 temporary hitpoints, which can be lost by the triggering effect.

Freeze

3rd level evocation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You grasp the flesh or armaments of a creature and disperse their heat to the air, freezing them. They must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are paralyzed. At the end of its next turn, it must make another Constitution saving throw, and it does so with advantage if it is Large or bigger. The spell ends on a success, but on a failure, they are petrified, turned to ice. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

If the spell lasts for its entire duration and the creature failed every save, it is permanently turned to ice.

Mass Freeze

5th-level evocation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose up to 6 creatures within range who must each make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are paralyzed. At the end of their next turn, they must make another Constitution saving throw, and they do so with advantage if they are Large or bigger. The spell ends on a success, but on a failure, they are petrified, turned to ice. The creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

If the spell lasts for its entire duration for a creature that failed every save, it is permanently turned to ice.

Crown of Ice

4th level abjuration

• Classes: None
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You don a crown of ice, marking your connection to an ancient ice monarch. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets you with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, their speed is reduced to 0 and they become prone before they make their attack or cast the spell, and you gain advantage on any saving throw you must make against the attack or spell. Once a creature succeeds on the saving throw against this spell, they are immune to it for its duration.

Abyssal Legacy

The Infinite Layers of the Abyss are realms of chaos and evil incarnate, every layer populated by demons - horrifying extensions of the plane's power that exist only to kill and destroy, and each one more hostile and violent than the last. Your innate magic stems from the chaotic, churning energies of this plane, a terrible force that grants you great capacity for destruction and corruption. Some sorcerers of this origin can trace their powers back to extensive exposure to Abyssal corruption, or perhaps due to influence on their lineage from demonic forces, while others may have wrested their capabilities from a subdued demon in a dark ritual, tearing away its power and infusing it into themselves.

No matter the method of acquisition, those who wield the powers of Abyss tread a dangerous path, for their very blood yearns to be used in pursuit of devastation. A strong will is required to keep these compulsions in check, and those who succumb to them can be just as cruel and malevolent as a demon - or worse.

Reality Breach

At 18th level, you have attained true mastery over your demonic blood and can rend wide reality itself, creating a gateway to the chaotic and destructive forces of the Abyss. As an action, you can spend 6 sorcery points to tear open an abyssal breach in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you, which persists for 1 hour or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of the breach as it opens must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 6d12 force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. A chosen creature must also make this saving throw whenever it comes within 30 feet of the breach or starts its turn there.

Additionally, if you expend a spell slot of 5th-level or higher when tearing open the breach, you can cast summon greater demon. The spell is cast at the same level as the expended spell slot. Demons summoned by this spell are fiercely loyal to you, obey your every command, are treated as allies, have a bonus to their hit points equal to your sorcerer level, and deal an additional 1d6 force damage whenever they deal damage.

If you maintain concentration on the breach for its whole duration, it stabilizes, no longer dealing damage and becoming dormant for 1 month, when it can be closed if you use your action to do so. After 1 month, it becomes a 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide stable portal, serving as a gateway between a random layer of the Abyss (determined by the DM) and the plane on which this feature was originally used. The presence of such a breach is anathema to natural life, killing and withering all plants within a mile radius. The breach remains until you die or if it is forcibly closed by the will of a demon lord of enough power (DM discretion).

Additional Spells

Shadow Magic

You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it.

The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Shadow Sorcerer Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

Inflict Pain

1st-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a creature, inflicting them with negative energy and racking them with excruciating pain. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d10 necrotic damage and become incapacitated with pain until the start of your next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.

Aura of Shade

2nd-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a deep black stone)
• Duration: 1 minute

You create a 15-foot radius sphere of shadow magic centered on a point within range. The area appears to be wreathed in swirling shadows and darkness, and is easily identifiable when it is in an area of bright or dim light. The sphere spreads around corners, and each creature that ends their turn within the area becomes invisible. This invisibility ends for a creature if they attack, cast a spell, or leave the area. Anything they are wearing or carrying is also invisible as long as they are.

Clinging Shadows

2nd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (bat fur)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose an area of dim light or darkness that you can see within range and that fits within a 20-foot cube. Each creature within the area must succeed on Strength saving throw or be restrained by shadows until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the shadows can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Until the spell ends, you can use an action on each of your turns to cause a tendril of shadow to reach out and grab a creature within 15 feet of the area. The creature must repeat the saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is pulled into the area and becomes restrained.

If the area becomes bathed in bright light, the spell has no effect until the bright light fades.

Flicker

3rd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (displacer beast fur)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Your body begins to flicker in and out of existence as shadow magic envelops you. For the duration of the spell, you can use your bonus action to teleport 5 feet. Additionally, when you are targeted by an attack you can use your reaction to attempt to teleport out of harm's way. Roll a d20. On a roll of 11 or higher, the attack automatically misses, and you teleport 5 feet. Otherwise, the attack is made as normal and you teleport 5 feet shortly after.

Rend Shadows

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Choose up to 4 creatures within range. Each creature has their shadow forcibly ripped from their body, conjuring a Shadow (Monster Manual pg. 269) in an unoccupied space next to them. As long as the shadow is separate from their body, they do not cast a shadow. A shadow created through this spell reforms with its host when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends, and it disappears if its host dies. If its host dies, a new shadow does not rise from the corpse.

The shadows seek only to attack the creature they were separated from, and disappear when that creature is killed. Roll initiative for the shadows as a group, which has its own turns. They spend their turns attacking their host, without any thought for strategy or tactics.

The DM has the creature's statistics.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher level spell slots, you can target more creatures: twice as many with a 6th-level slot and three times as many with an 8th-level slot.

Shadow Stride

You can use this teleportation ability twice per round for the duration.

Also at 1st level, you can call upon the strength of your ancestor to aid you. Whenever you roll initiative, or as a bonus action, you can temporarily augment your musculature and harden your body against attack. You gain 3 temporary hit points per sorcerer level, and for 1 minute, you gain the following additional benefits:

• You can use your Charisma for anything that would normally require Strength. This includes, but is not limited to: Strength-based attacks, carrying capacity, Strength (Athletics) checks, and other Strength-based checks or saves.

• As a bonus action, you can attempt to shove or grapple a creature within 5 feet of you.

You can use this feature twice per short or long rest.

Ancestral Champion

By 6th level, your connection with your ancestor has improved. The AC granted by your Hero's Training feature is improved to 13 + your Charisma modifier, and you add your charisma modifier to the amount of temporary hit points you gain from your Ancestral Avatar feature. Also, if you don’t have a use of Ancestral Avatar remaining, you can spend 3 sorcery points as an alternative requirement for activating the feature.

War Magic

Beginning at 6th level, your sorcerous power infuses your weapons with greater ease. When you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. At 14th level, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Inspiring Presence

At 14th level, you become an inspiring beacon like your ancestor before you. Friendly creatures within 30 feet of you are immune to the frightened condition. Additionally, whenever a friendly creature other than you within 40 feet of you misses with an attack, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and add the result to its attack roll, potentially causing the attack to hit. When you use this reaction, you can spend up to 4 sorcery points to empower it. For every sorcery point you spend, you roll an additional d6.

Hero of Legend

By 18th level, you have reached your full potential, and can become just as much of a heroic figure as your ancestor. When you activate your Ancestral Avatar feature, you can spend additional sorcery points to further improve the feature. For every 2 sorcery points you spend, you can gain one of the following benefits for the duration of the feature:

• The number of temporary hit points gained from your Ancestral Avatar feature is doubled.

• You deal an additional 1d8 damage with weapon attacks affected by your Ancestral Avatar feature.

• You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

• You have advantage on all rolls affected by your Ancestral Avatar feature.

Additionally, when you die, you are revived next dawn at the last location you finished a long rest, as if true resurrection had been cast on you. You possess all the equipment you wore or carried at the time of your death, even if your body was destroyed by disintegration or similar effects; equipment taken from your body after death reappears with you, vanishing from its current location. Once you are resurrected by this feature, you cannot be resurrected by it again until 7 days have passed.

Fey Magic

You have been touched by the chaotic powers of the feywild, and imbued with magic by this connection. This influence may be the result of an ancient elven bloodline vested with magic, a stay in that sylvan realm, or perhaps you are the result of a union between a fey and a mortal. The fey magics flowing through your body grant you an otherworldly aspect, your enhanced emotions spilling out into the world around you.

Ocean Heritage

Your heritage ties you to powerful creatures of the sea, such as nereids, the lords of the merfolk, and elemental powers, such as the mighty leviathan. Like a river, you feel the call of the ocean. The call is ever present in your heart, and you are never completely at peace until you are near the sea. With this magic, you can control and manipulate water, using it to do battle with those that would oppose you.

Shifting Form

Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to enter a liquid state while moving.

When you move on your turn, you only take half damage from opportunity attacks, and you can move through an creature's space but cannot willingly end your turn there.

On your turn, you can move through any space that is at least 3 inches in diameter and do so without squeezing. When you stop moving, the regular squeezing rules apply if you're in a space one size smaller than you. You can't willingly stop in a space that is smaller than that, and if you're forced to do so, you immediately flow to the nearest space that can fit you, back along the path of your movement.

Into the Roil

Starting at 18th level, you can call the ocean to propel a creature into the air. As an action on your turn, you can spend 5 sorcery points to begin creating a waterspout at a point within 60 feet of you. You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of churning water. Creatures inside the sphere at the time of its creation must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, being pulled 10 feet towards the center of the sphere and knocked prone on a failed save.

At the beginning of your next turn, all creatures inside of the sphere must make a Strength saving throw as the churning water shoots skyward. On a failed save, a creature is thrown 100 feet into the air, and is thrown half as far on a successful save. If a creature impacts with a solid object as it is thrown upwards, calculate the damage it takes as if it was taking fall damage.

Watery Tentacle

3rd-level conjuration

• Components: S, M (a water source, such as a vial of water)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a watery tentacle at a point you choose within range on top of solid ground or a body of water. This tentacle is size medium, has an AC of 13 and 30 hit points, has resistance to fire damage and to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage from non-magical sources, and is vulnerable to cold damage. The tentacle uses your spellcasting ability score and modifier in place of its Strength score and modifier, but otherwise uses your statistics for determining its saving throws. This tentacle disappears when it drops to 0 hit points, or when the spell ends.

When you first cast this spell, you can cause the ten-tacle to make a melee spell attack with your statistics against a creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 3d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. As a bonus action on your turn, you can command the tentacle to move up to 15 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 10 feet of it. If the tentacle's attack hits, you may direct it to grapple a target instead of dealing damage. If it does, any attempts to escape the grapple are made against your spellcasting ability modifier plus your proficiency bonus.

You may also use an action on your turn to direct the tentacle to act in accordance to your somatic gestures, performing functions such as lifting objects or moving up to 15 feet, but the tentacle will not attack unless you command it to do so with a bonus action, as above.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the hit points of the tentacle increase by 10 and the damage of spell's attack increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.

Creatures within a 10-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a Strength saving throw. If a creature fails this saving throw, it takes 4d10 bludgeoning damage, and is knocked 15 feet away from the center of this explosion, and is rendered prone. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw takes half damage and is subject to no other effects from this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage done by this spell increases by 1d10 and the distance pushed increases by 5 feet, for each slot level above 4th.

Red Tide

5th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet

• Duration: Instantaneous

Choose a point within range that is either or or within a body of water, or on solid ground. A torrent of frothing red water issues forth, mercilessly battering all creatures within a 5 foot tall, 20 foot radius cylinder centered on that point. Creatures within this area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d10 bludgeoning and 2d10 acid damage if they fail this save, and half that amount if they succeed. A creature that fails this saving throw is also poisoned until the end of your next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the bludgeoning damage or the acid damage (your choice) increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 5th.

Each creature in the line must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d12 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 30 feet directly away from you. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is only pushed 15 feet directly away from you.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 6th.

Galaxy Magic

Your magic comes from the void of space itself. You might have been born just as an ancient star died, or perhaps you came across a fallen comet and were transformed by the power inside it. These sorcerers often hear a call from the void, feeling a strange kinship with the night sky, and the urge to take their place with amongst the stars above.

Asteroid Belt

Starting at 6th level, you can use your bonus action and spend 2 sorcery points to form a belt of debris using your orbit. For 1 minute, any damage except psychic damage you take is reduced by the number of objects in your orbit.

Additionally, when a creature misses you or a creature within 15 feet of you with a ranged weapon attack, you can capture the projectile in your orbit (no action required).

Lost In Space

By 14th level, you are unbound. Your flying speed can carry you to any height, and you can hover.

Additionally, you no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe, and you can survive in the vacuum of space.

Singularity

At 18th level, you can take on the aspect of a black hole. As an action, you can spend 9 sorcery points to consume everything within 5 feet of you in an all-devouring void, which lasts for 10 minutes, or until you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell).

Only you can see through the void, and no light can illuminate it. A creature within 30 feet of the void must spend 5 feet of movement for each foot it moves away from you.

When you create the void, and at the start of each of your turns thereafter, everything within the void other than you takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage and 10d6 cold damage. A creature or object reduced to 0 hit points by this damage is obliterated, and leaves no remains. In addition, at the start of each of your turns, the void expands 5 feet in all directions.

While within the void, your speed is 0, you cannot teleport or be moved by any means, your weight is multiplied by 1,000, and you are immune to all damage from attacks and effects originating from outside of the void.

If you maintain concentration on this feature for its whole duration, the void stops expanding and becomes permanent. Your body discorporates, joining the void, and you become dormant for 1d4 centuries, or until you are forcibly woken by the will of a godlike being, a dispel magic cast at 9th level, or similarly powerful effects. When you wake, your body reforms, and the void vanishes.

Meteor

6th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of earth from another plane)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You draw chunks of loose earth, small trees, and other unsecured objects within range into the air above you, forming them together into a meteor in the shape of a 10-foot radius sphere. The spell fails if you can't see a point in the air where the meteor could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can't accommodate it).

When the spell ends, the meteor launches forwards and crashes into a point you choose within range. Each creature within 30 feet of the meteor when it crashes must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The meteor then collapses.

If at the end of your turn the meteor has not yet been launched, the sphere's radius increases by 10 feet.

A object that isn't being worn or carried also takes the damage if it's in the spell's area. This spell deals double damage to objects and structures.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, its duration is concentration, up to 1 hour.

• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

You speak a word of overwhelming power. Choose an object or construct that you can see within range that is Large or smaller. If you choose a non-magical object, it instantly crumples and disintegrates into dust. If you choose a magical object, it temporarily loses any magical properties for one minute, but it cannot be destroyed by a second casting of this spell. If you choose a construct, it takes 30 force damage. Artifacts and other incredibly powerful magical objects are immune to this effect. If the spell has no effect, you regain the spell slot or resource expended to cast it.

Pulse Wave

3rd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot cone)

A creature takes 6d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. And every creature that fails the save is either pulled 15 feet toward you or pushed 15 feet away from you, depending on the choice you made for the spell.

In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the cone are likewise pulled or pushed 15 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 and the distance pulled or pushed increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd.

Subclasses: Chronurgy Wizard, Graviturgy Wizard

Flametouched

The arcane energies within you are a manifestation of raw primordial fire. Perhaps you were born in a border region between the Material Plane and the Plane of Elemental Fire. Or perhaps you trace your heritage back to a powerful Efreeti. You have an innate understanding of fire magic, and are able to manipulate it in the battlefield to great effect. Some sorcerers who claim this origin are consumed by pyromaniac urges, as their desire to burn and destroy overtakes reason. Others become references in the applied study of evocation magic. Whatever the circumstances, the control of embers comes as naturally to you as breathing.

New Spells

Aberrant Mind

An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around you, warping you in both body and mind. Perhaps a psychic splinter lodged in your psyche after you suffered domination by an aboleth. Maybe you were born somewhere tainted by the Far Realm, a planar blot that changed you forever. Or perhaps mind flayers kidnapped you, subjecting you to the nightmarish process of ceremorphosis—but the transformation failed and left you altered.

Warp Reality

At 18th level, you become the focal point of a reality-warping anomaly. As an action, you can magically radiate a transparent, 20-foot-radius aura for 1 minute. This might take the form of a sphere of rippling psychic energy, a fluctuating amoebic gel, an extrusion of ephemeral parasites, or some other manifestation. Other creatures treat the aura as difficult terrain, and when they start their turn in it, they take 2d10 psychic damage. When you activate this feature, you can choose any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by the aura.

As a bonus action, you can end the aura early. If you do so, you and any number of creatures you choose within the aura are teleported to a location you can see within 1 mile of you. Each creature must appear within 20 feet of you and in an unoccupied space. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC is not teleported. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The Serpentine

Situated within her palace of gold and turquoise, the Serpent Empress sleeps in serene silence, guiding her slaves to serve in her secret business. Envious and vain, the Empress personifies greed and avarice in the hearts of man. Jealousy, spite, and simple pride have driven her servants to her side. She whispers in a sibilant voice, speaking of wealth and power promised but so rarely delivered. The sins she offers are subtle at first, but grow in style and salaciousness with every slow cycle of the hourglass.

Your blood has been infused with her sibilant power, her toxic nature twisting your magic.

Infernal Heritage

Your innate magic comes from infernal power that can be traced back to the Nine Hells of Baator, power infused into your blood or that of your ancestors. Such power most often manifests itself as the result of a pact or bargain made with a powerful devil, such as a Pit Fiend or an Erinyes. You may have endured a near death experience at the hands of a devil and been forever tainted by the encounter, or perhaps your bloodline includes a powerful Tiefling whose ancestry has manifested in an unusual way. Regardless of circumstance, fell power now surges through you, both a blessing and a curse.
