Your people guard the most powerful of artifacts and ancient stories. The blood in your veins runs hot with forgotten lore, granting you magic beyond the scope of mortal men.

Kingdoms rise and fall. But Knowledge endures. And to be the keeper of that knowledge is to wield fate.

Sphinx Magic

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Sphinx Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be a divnination or a illusion spell from the cleric, sorcerer, or wizard spell list.
