Circle of Eyes
Druids of the Circle of Eyes venerate the value of sight, for it
is through seeing that one knows, and it is through knowing
that one lives one's life.
Initially, these druids focus on sharpening their physical
vision, emulating fearsome birds of prey who seldom miss
their mark. They then move on to focus on those beyond,
such as seeing the hidden, finding what needs to be found,
and learning what needs to be known. When they finally
master their art, naught is beyond their sight, even those
hidden in realms beyond.

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.
Raw Magic
Magic is a part of every sorcerer, suffusing body, mind, and
spirit with a latent power that waits to be tapped. Some
sorcerers wield magic that springs from an ancient bloodline
infused with the magic of dragons. Others carry a raw,
uncontrolled magic within them, a chaotic storm that
manifests in unexpected ways.
The appearance of sorcerous powers is wildly
unpredictable. Some draconic bloodlines produce exactly
one sorcerer in every generation, but in other lines of descent
every individual is a sorcerer. Most of the time, the talents of
sorcery appear as apparent flukes. Some sorcerers can't
name the origin of their power, while others trace it to
strange events in their own lives. The touch of a demon, the
blessing of a dryad at a baby's birth, or a taste of the water
from a mysterious spring might spark the gift of sorcery. So
too might the gift of a deity of magic, exposure to the
elemental forces of the Inner Planes or the maddening chaos
of Limbo, or a glimpse into the
inner workings of reality.
Sorcerers have no use for the spellbooks and ancient
tomes of magic lore that wizards rely on, nor do they rely on a
patron to grant their spells as warlocks do. By learning to
harness and channel their own inborn magic, they can
discover new and staggering ways to unleash that power.
Unexplained Powers
Sorcerers are rare in the world, and it's unusual to find a
sorcerer who is not involved in the adventuring life in some
way. People with magical power seething in their veins soon
discover that the power doesn't like to stay quiet. A sorcerer's

immediate warning of a grisly demise upon the mere thought
of worshipping her, instead directing you to think of yourself
as one of the many dabus under her employ.
As an entity who is known to have slain gods with a mere
thought, the reasons for her to forge a pact with a mere
mortal are few and far between, likely stemming from the fact
that she is purportedly bound to Sigil and cannot leave it. As
such, it is often assumed that the few warlocks who have her
as their patron are guided to ensure that no threats from
outside Sigil will be able to enter it, nipping potential
problems at the bud, so to speak.

While wearing this elegant, fine-woven cloak, you can pull its
hood over your head to grant yourself unnatural focus. Unless
you are incapacitated or you die, you can't lose concentration
on a spell while the hood is over your head. Pulling the hood

Deduct the time that you spent in concentration while the
cloak's hood is up, in increments of 1 minute, from the
cloak's maximum duration of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of

Appendix A: Sorcerer
Edits
I
t can be noted that aside from the class revision, all
existing sorcerous origins are included in this
homebrew, as the latter are all modified somehow.
The most common change is the addition of ten
"origin spells" to mirror the two latest sorcerous
origins printed in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Listed below for reference are the class changes and
the differences between the existing subclass versions and
the versions included in this homebrew:
Sorcerer Class
Shifted Spellcasting to use a modified spell point system
(two 6th-level spells at 19th level and two 7th-level spells
at 20th level) and labeled spell points as sorcery points as
well to forgo conversion between points entirely.
Added Innate Focus to Spellcasting, which allows you to
ignore some material components for your sorcerer
spells.
Included Spellcasting's Spell Versatility and Font of
Magic's Imbuing Touch and Sorcerous Fortitude from the
Uneathed Arcana article Class Feature Variants.
Shifted Sorcerous Restoration to 2nd level with scaling
that caps out at 4 sorcery points at 20th level, like in the
original version.
Increased the number of Metamagic options learned from
four to five to mirror their previous status as feats.
Added nine new Metamagic options: Aimed Spell, Delayed
Spell, Explosive Spell, Maximized Spell, Potent Spell,
Ruinous Spell, Shifted Spell, Transdimensional Spell, and
Widened Spell.
Added a new capstone, Archsorcerer, which improves
Metamagic and Innate Focus.
Draconic Bloodline
Added options for gem dragons.
Added ten origin spells, labeled Draconic Magic.
Elemental Affinity's damage type resistance no longer
requires you to spend sorcery points.
Added an 18th level feature, Improved Elemental Affinity,
that grants immunity to the damage type associated with
your draconic ancestor.
Draconic Presence now affects ceatures of your choice,
not just hostile creatures, and has one free use between
long rests before needing to spend sorcery points.
Wild Magic
Added ten origin spells, labeled Wild Spells.
You may roll on the Wild Magic Surge table after you cast
a spell of 1st level or higher to regain use of Tides of
Chaos without having to consult your DM.
Increased the die for Bend Luck at higher levels.
Added a 1d6 multiplier to Spell Bombardment's extra
damage, both increasing damage output and adding
another element of randomness to the feature.
APPENDIX A | SORCERER EDITS

115
Divine Soul
Added ten origin spells to the existing Divine Magic
feature based on your god's divine domain, as in the
original Divine Soul Unearthed Arcana article.
Powered down Empowered Healing to apply only to your
spells.
Powered down Unearthly Recovery and moved it to the
6th-level feature slot to make way for a different capstone.
Added Wrath of God as the 18th-level feature in homage
of the iconic Magic: the Gathering card.
Storm Sorcery
Added 11 origin spells, labeled Storm Magic.
Changed Tempestuous Magic to not require your bonus
action.
Increased Heart of the Storms average base damage to 5,
but still ends at 10 at 20th level.
Allowed Wind Soul's action granting flying to other
creatures to be reusable by spending 5 sorcery points.
Shadow Magic
Added ten origin spells, labeled Shadow Spells.
Added a variant 6th-level feature, Fangs of Darkness,
which boosts spell damage when casting in dim light or
darkness.
Allowed one free use of Umbral Form between long rests
before needing to spend sorcery points.
Aberrant Mind
Added a ribbon ability allowing you to speak Deep Speech
and Undercommon, as well as affecting your interaction
with aberrations.
Added a variant capstone, Psionic Field, that repeatedly
deals psychic damage while also imposing a penalty to

attack rolls. Sea Sorcery
Clockwork Soul Added ten origin spells, labeled Sea Magic.
Edited Curse of the Sea so as to be able to curse a
