Enhanced DC. The spell save DC of your Arcane spells increases by 1.
Advantage. You have Advantage on the attack rolls of Arcane spells you cast.
You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a Long Rest.
1st Level: 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.
Cantrips. You know four cantrips of your choice from the Arcane spell list. Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another Arcane cantrip of your choice. When you reach 4th and 10th level in this class, you learn another Arcane cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Sorcerer table.
Spell Points. The Sorcerer table shows how many Spell Points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a number of points equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Points when you finish a Long Rest.
Prepared Spells of 1st+ Level. You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of spells from the Arcane spell list equal to your Charisma modifier + your sorcerer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have access to.
Changing your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing one or more of the spells there. Preparing a new list of spells takes time: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with your Sorcerer features, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world.
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 the spells you cast with your Sorcerer features.
2nd Level: Font of Magic
You tap into a deep wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is represented by sorcery points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.
Sorcery Points. You have a number of sorcery points equal to your sorcerer level. Whenever you gain a sorcerer level thereafter, your number of sorcery points increases by 1. You can never have more sorcery points than an amount equal to your level. You regain all spent sorcery points when you finish a Long Rest.
You can use your sorcery points to gain additional spell points, or sacrifice spell points to gain additional sorcery points. You learn other ways to use your sorcery points in some other Sorcerer features, such as Metamagic.
