Spellcasting

^{1st-level Sorcerer feature}
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.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the Sorcerer Spell List. You learn additional Sorcerer Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sorcerer table.

Mana

The Sorcerer table shows how much mana you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend mana from your mana pool. You regain all expended mana when you finish a long rest. The mana costs for spells can be found on the mana cost table.

Spells Known and Reserved

You know two 1st-level Spells of your choice from the Sorcerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Sorcerer table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you can cast.

You can keep an additional number of spells equal to your Sorcerer level + your Intelligence modifier as reserved spells. These spells are ones you are familiar with, but cannot readily cast. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose one known spell from this class and replace it with one of your reserved spells over the course of 10 minutes, provided they are of the same spell level and are both on the Sorcerer spell list. The reserved spell becomes a known spell, and the known spell is added to your reserved spells.

As a part of a long rest, you can try to familiarize yourself with a spell on the Sorcerer spell list if it is of a spell level you can cast and you saw a creature cast it since your last long rest, if you use a magic item which can cast the spell, or if you can be taught by a creature with the spell known or prepared. You must succeed on an Arcana check using your spellcasting ability modifier with a DC equal to 15 + the spell's level to add the spell to your reserved spells.

If you would reserve a spell, and are already at your maximum number of spells you can have reserved, you must replace one of your existing reserved spells.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you can cast. You may add the spell you replaced to your reserved spells.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your Spellcasting ability for your Sorcerer Spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your Spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Sorcerer spell you cast and when making an Attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a Spellcasting focus for your Sorcerer Spells.

Sorcerous Origin

^{1st-level Sorcerer feature}

^{3rd-level Sorcerer feature}
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to twist your spells to suit your needs. You gain two minor Metamagic options and one moderate Metamagic option. You gain another minor Metamagic option at 7th level, 13th level, and 19th level. You gain an additional moderate Metamagic option at 10th and 15th level. You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

Minor Metamagic

Delayed Spell. When you ready a spell, you can spend 1 mana. The spell can be held for up to 1 minute, instead of 1 turn, without using your action to maintain it (though it still takes your concentration.)

Distant Spell. When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 mana to double the range of the spell. Alternatively, if you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 mana to make the range of the spell 30 feet.

Ability checks made to identify or counter this spell are made at disadvantage.

Moderate Metamagic

Refracting Spell. When you cast a spell that involves a spell attack roll that affects only one creature, you can spend an amount of mana equal to half the spell’s level (rounded up, minimum 1). If the spell hits, a creature within 5 feet of the target takes half the spell’s damage.

Twinned Spell. When you cast a spell that targets one or more creatures and doesn’t have a range of self, you can spend an amount of mana equal to the spell’s level (1 for cantrips) to double the number of targets. These targets must still be in the spell's range.

Magical Guidance

^{5th-level Sorcerer feature}
At 5th level, you can tap into your inner wellspring of magic to try to conjure success from failure. When you make an ability check that fails, you can spend 1 mana to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll, potentially turning the failure into a success.

Arcane Refinement

^{7th-level Sorcerer feature}
Your command over your magic becomes more precise, and you are able to assert more control over it. Choose one of the following.

Deep Font

You can reach beyond your limits to draw more power from within. When you finish a short rest, you may expend a number of hit dice up to your Charisma modifier to regain some of your magic essence. For each hit dice expended in this way, you regain 1 mana.

Innate Ritualist

You may pick a number of spells with the ritual tag equal to your Charisma modifier. These spells need not be from the sorcerer spell list, but they must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can cast these spells as rituals, though you don’t gain the ability to cast them normally with spell slots, nor do they count toward your spells known. If you increase your Charisma modifier, the number of ritual spells you know also increases. Each time you gain a sorcerer level, you may replace one of these ritual spells with another.

Prodigious Innovator

Choose three cantrips from any class's spell list. You can cast those cantrips at will. They are considered sorcerer spells for you, and they needn't be from the same spell list. They don't count against your number of cantrips known.

Rapturous Presence

^{9th-level Sorcerer feature}
Beginning at 9th level, your magic becomes a presence that noticeably bears down on creatures. Choose one of the following.

Larger Than Life

Your power tends to distort people’s perception of you, causing you to seem more dangerous than you are. You have advantage on Intimidation checks made to threaten someone with your magic. On a failure, your target is unconvinced and unless you make good on your threat with an unambiguous show of force to prove your mettle, this feature no longer functions until you prove your reputation again. Additionally, features and traits that attempt to size you up always give the impression that you are more dangerous than you actually are.

Nobody's Fool

People find it difficult to lie to you or to conceal their motives in your presence. You can always choose to use your Charisma score when making Insight checks. In addition, you can spend 1 mana as an action to project an aura of honesty. For the next 10 minutes, creatures within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on Charisma (Deception) checks made to lie or conceal the truth. When a creature in this aura fails a Charisma (Deception) check, it accidentally blurts out something it didn’t mean to while attempting to spin its lie.

Otherworldly

You have a way with creatures wildly unlike yourself. Select three of the following creature types: aberration, celestial, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead. You have advantage on Charisma checks to make a first impression on a creature of one of your chosen types, and if you do not share a common language, you can still communicate some simple concepts to them. In addition, by spending 1 mana and 1 minute in meditation, you can change your creature type to one of the chosen creature types. This transformation lasts for 1 hour and cannot be reversed early without repeating the meditation and spending the mana again.

Evolving Manifestation

^{11th-level Sorcerer feature}
At 11th level, you gain a deeper understanding of your magics. You may either take the improved form of the manifestation you selected at 2nd level, or you may choose an additional feature from the Manifestation list.

If not, its radius shrinks by 5 feet, dissipating if it cannot shrink further.

Evolving Inferno (Fire)

When you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that deals fire damage, you can spend mana up to the spell’s level to store some of the energy of the spell as a flame you hold in one hand. You can use a bonus action to throw this flame, making a ranged spell attack against a target you can see within 30 feet. On a hit, the creature takes 2d8 fire damage per mana spent. The flame lasts for up to 1 minute or until it is thrown. If you are holding a flame already and conjure a new one, you can replace your existing flame or hold it in another open hand.

If it inflicts the poisoned condition, it instead deals an additional 1d12 poison damage per mana spent in addition to its normal effects. Additionally, spells you cast can inflict the Poisoned condition on creatures immune to the Poisoned condition, but they have advantage on saving throws against it.

Evolving Cosmic Manifestations

The boundless wellspring of your magic has no bounds. Your Font of Magic ability gains the following benefits:

Greater Imbuing Touch. You can use your Imbuing Touch feature as a Bonus Action, and the weapon retains its magic until you die or you choose to end the enchantment (no action required). You cannot regain the mana you spend on this feature until you end the feature.
Greater Sorcerous Fortitude. You can use your Sorcerous Fortitude as a Bonus Action, and you roll a d12 for each mana spent.

Epic Level Sorcerer: Weave Conduit

^{30th-level Sorcerer feature}
Tapping into the Weave comes as easily to you as ﬂicking a finger. With some eﬀort, you can cause the Weave spill forth from within you, manifesting as violent arcane energy that crackles outwards from you in all directions.

As a Bonus Action, you become a weave conduit for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain the following benefits:

You are no longer limited to casting one spell on a turn.
You know all spells from the sorcerer spell list.
You have access to all Minor, Moderate, and Major metamagic options.
You can empower a single spell with any number of Minor and Moderate Metamagic options, spending mana for each one. You can still only use a single Major Metamagic option on a spell.
As a weave conduit, you also absorb magic, giving you resistance to damage from spells and Advantage on saving throws against spells.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
