===Spellcasting===
''1st level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span>{{alsosee-sect|5e24:Sorcerer/Spell|Sorcerer Spells}}<br />
Drawing from your innate magic, you can cast {{5e24lc|Spell}}s. See the rules on {{5e24lc|Spellcasting}}. The information below details how you use those rules with {{5e24|Sorcerer Spell}}s

'''{{anchor|Cantrips}}.''' You know four Sorcerer {{5e24|Cantrip}}s of your choice. {{5e24 Spell Line|Light, Prestidigitation, Shocking Grasp}}, and {{5e24spell|Sorcerous Burst}} are recommended. Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Sorcerer cantrip of your choice.

When you reach Sorcerer levels 4 and 10, you learn another Sorcerer cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the {{iplink|Sorcerer Features}} table.

'''{{anchor|Spell Slots}}.''' The Sorcerer Features table shows how many {{5e24lc|Spell Slot}}s you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a {{5e24|Long Rest}}.

'''{{anchor|Prepared Spells}} of Level 1+.''' You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Sorcerer spells. {{5e24spell|Burning Hands}} and {{5e24spell|Detect Magic}} are recommended.

The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Sorcerer levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Sorcerer Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Sorcerer spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Sorcerer Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 3 Sorcerer, your list of prepared spells can include six Sorcerer spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.

If another Sorcerer feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Sorcerer spells for you.

'''Changing Your Prepared Spells.''' Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Sorcerer spell for which you have spell slots.

'''{{anchor|Spellcasting Ability}}.''' {{5e24|Charisma}} is your {{5e24lc|Spellcasting Ability}} for your Sorcerer spells.

'''Spellcasting Focus.''' You can use an {{5e24|Arcane Focus}} as a {{5e24|Spellcasting Focus}} for your Sorcerer spells.

===Innate Sorcery===
''1st level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
An event in your past left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with simmering magic. As a {{5e24|Bonus Action}}, you can unleash that magic for 1 {{5e24|Minute}}, during which you gain the following benefits:
* The {{5e24|Spell Save}} {{5e24|DC}} of your Sorcerer spells increases by 1.
* You have {{5e24|Advantage}} on the {{5e24lc|Attack Roll}}s of Sorcerer spells you cast.
You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a {{5e24|Long Rest}}.

===Font of Magic===
''2nd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You can tap into the wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is represented by {{anchor|Sorcery Points}}, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.

You have 2 Sorcery Points, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Sorcery Points column of the Sorcerer Features table. You can’t have more Sorcery Points than the number shown in the table for your level. You regain all expended Sorcery Points when you finish a Long Rest.

You can use your Sorcery Points to fuel the options below, along with other features, such as {{iplink|Metamagic}}, that use those points.

'''Converting Spell Slots to Sorcery Points.''' You can expend a spell slot to gain a number of Sorcery Points equal to the slot’s level (no action required).

'''{{anchor|Creating Spell Slots}}.''' As a {{5e24|Bonus Action}}, you can transform unexpended Sorcery Points into one spell slot. The {{iplink|Creating Spell Slots}} table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level, and it lists the minimum Sorcerer level you must be to create a slot. You can create a spell slot no higher than level 5.

Any spell slot you create with this feature vanishes when you finish a Long Rest.

Because your magic flows from within, you can alter your spells to suit your needs; you gain two {{5e24|Metamagic Option}}s of your choice. You use the chosen options to temporarily modify spells you cast. To use an option, you must spend the number of Sorcery Points that it costs.

You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it unless otherwise noted in one of those options.

Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your Metamagic options with one you don’t know. You gain two more options at Sorcerer level 10 and two more at Sorcerer level 17.

''3rd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You gain a Sorcerer subclass of your choice. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Sorcerer levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are of your Sorcerer level or lower.

====List of Sorcerer Subclasses====

===Ability Score Improvement===
''4th, 8th, 12th, 16th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You gain the {{5e24|Ability Score Improvement}} feat or another {{5e24lc|Feat}} of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Fighter levels 8, 12, and 16.

===Sorcerous Restoration===
''5th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
When you finish a {{5e24|Short Rest}}, you can regain expended Sorcery Points, but no more than a number equal to {{5e24|Half}} your Sorcerer level (round down). Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

===Sorcery Incarnate===
''7th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
If you have no uses of {{iplink|Innate Sorcery}} left, you can use it if you spend 2 Sorcery Points when you take the {{5e24|Bonus Action}} to activate it.

In addition, while your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use up to two of your {{iplink|Metamagic}} options on each spell you cast.

===Epic Boon===
''19th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You gain an {{5e24|Epic Boon}} feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. {{5e24|Boon of Dimensional Travel}} is recommended.

===Arcane Apotheosis===
''20th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.6470" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
While your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use one Metamagic option on each of your {{5e24|Turn}}s without spending Sorcery Points on it.
