Radiate Raw Magic Potential
Your innate power stems from the source of magic itself: the Weave. This connection manifests as a
rare ability known as spellfire, and you surge with radiant bursts of raw magic. Your talent with
spellfire allows you to heal allies, sear enemies, and absorb powerful spells.
Wielders of spellfire tend to be adventurous souls with a penchant for wandering. Many travel between cosmopolitan settlements, such as those along the Sword Coast, and wield their magic in service of the common good. Others prioritize the realization of their own strange powers by roaming equally strange lands, from the magic-blasted wastes of the Anauroch Desert to the god-touched wilds of the Old Empires. Wherever they go in the Realms, spellfire Sorcerers are often courted by factions with interests in the arcane arts, such as the Harpers and the Cult of the Dragon.
Level 3: Spellfire Burst
When you spend at least 1 Sorcery Point as part of the Magic action or a Bonus Action on your turn, you can unleash one of the following magical effects of your choice. You can do so only once per turn.
Bolstering Flames: You or one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself
gains Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d4 plus your Charisma modifier.
Radiant Fire: One creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself must succeed on
a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d6 Fire or Radiant damage (your
choice).
Level 3: Spellfire Spells
When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Spellfire Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
Spellfire Spells
| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 3 | Cure Wounds, Guiding Bolt, Lesser Restoration, Scorching Ray |
| 5 | Aura of Vitality, Dispel Magic |
| 7 | Fire Shield, Wall of Fire |
| 9 | Greater Restoration, Flame Strike |
Level 6: Absorb Spells
You always have Counterspell prepared.
Additionally, whenever a target fails the saving throw against a Counterspell you cast, you regain 1d4 Sorcery
Points.
Level 14: Honed Spellfire
Your Spellfire Burst improves. You add your Sorcerer level to the Temporary Hit Points gained from Bolstering Flames, and the 1d6 of Radiant Fire increases to 3d6.
Level 18: Crown of Spellfire
As a Bonus Action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute. Once you use this Bonus Action, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you spend 7 Sorcery Points (no action required) to restore your use of it.
Burning Life Force: Once per turn when you are hit by an attack roll, you can expend a number of Hit Dice, up to a maximum equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Roll the expended dice and reduce the amount of damage from that attack equal to the total rolled plus your Sorcerer level.
Flight: You gain a Fly Speed of 60 feet and can hover.
Spell Avoidance: When you’re subjected to a spell or magical effect that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail. You can’t use this benefit if you have the Incapacitated condition.
