There are many circumstances one comes
upon power. Some work to attain it over a
lifetime of study and practice; others make
pacts for it, borrowing their might from
greater beings. Still a third derive it from a
unity with nature, or faith in a concept or
oath. But for many spellcasters, power is
innate. Whether by circumstances of their
birth, accidents of fate, or the inheritance of
a greater legacy, sorcerers derive their
power from inside--from their blood, soul,
and body.
This title contains 5 new sorcerous origins
for your campaigns.

BLIGHTED SPELLS
Starting at 1st level, the blight in your soul
changes your magic. You learn additional
spells when you reach certain levels in this
class, as shown on the Blighted Spells
table. The spell counts as a sorcerer spell
for you, but it doesn’t count against the
number of sorcerer spells you know. These
spells can’t be replaced when you gain a
level in this class.

BONUS CANTRIP
Also at 1st level, you know the ​poison spray
cantrip. This cantrip doesn’t count against
your number of Cantrips Known.
METAMAGICAL ROT
At 6th level, your metamagic taints the
essence of your spells. When you use a
Metamagic option on a spell, you can cause
the spell to deal additional necrotic damage
to its target equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of one).
You can only add this damage to a spell
once, even if you use multiple Metamagic
options on the same spell. 
BLIGHTED FORM
At 14th level, the rot of your soul has
suffused your body. You are immune to the
poisoned condition.
Additionally, when you finish a long rest,
you can choose either poison damage or
necrotic damage. You are resistant to the
chosen damage type until the end of your
next long rest. 
2
BEACON OF DECAY
At 18th level, you can surround yourself with
withering energy, becoming a beacon of
decay. As an action, you can spend 5
sorcery points to exude rot in a 60-foot
radius. For 1 minute, hostile creatures in
this radius have disadvantage on any
saving throws they make against spells
gained from your Blighted Spells feature.
COSMIC SOUL
Your soul is suffused with the energy of the
cosmos. You might be descended from or
chosen by a deity of the night sky, an
eldritch entity from the Far Realms, or a
spawn of the stars themselves. Alternately,
you might’ve been born under a particularly
rare constellation--a moment in which a
league of cosmic bodies were in alignment,
granting you power untold.
As a sorcerer of this origin, you are very
severe in your appearance. What is dark is
as black as the night sky; what is light is as
bright as staring into the heart of a star.
Similarly, your moods range from blindingly
bright to frighteningly cold and dark. When
you cast spells, your eyes might turn an inky
black, mottled by tiny starlights--or, more
unsettlingly, a void with no light at all.
Many sorcerers of this origin become
great astronomers, as their magic draws
their interest towards the night sky.
Sorcerers of this origin that become
explorers never feel lost while the night sky
is in sight, as the stars always seem to
guide them to their destinations.

18th Cosmic Swarm
NIGHT EYES
Starting at 1st level, your eyes are
accustomed to the darkness of the night
sky. You have darkvision to a distance of
120 feet.
As an action, you can touch a creature
and share your cosmic sight with them. For
1 hour, your darkvision is reduced to a
distance of 60 feet, and the chosen creature
gains darkvision to a distance of 60 feet. If
the creature already has darkvision, this
feature has no effect. 
COSMIC MOTES
At 1st level, your sorcery creates motes of
starlight that swirl and swarm around you.
When you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level
or higher, you can create a palm-sized mote
of starlight, which orbits around you in a
5-foot radius. The mote gives off bright light
in a 5-foot radius and dim light for 5 feet
beyond that.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can
cause one or more motes to streak towards
targets within 60 feet of you and explode.
Make a ranged spell attack for each mote.
On a hit, a target takes radiant damage
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of one). You can have the motes strike the
same target or different targets.
3
You can have a maximum number of
motes equal to half your sorcerer level
(minimum of one). Motes last until you finish
a long rest, at which point they fade and
disappear.
STARLIGHT RESILIENCE
At 6th level, you have become accustomed
to cosmic forces flowing through your body.
You are resistant to necrotic and radiant
damage.  
STARWALKER
At 14th level, you have learned to lessen
the forces of gravity on your form. You have
a flying speed equal to half your walking
speed, and can hover in place while flying.
Additionally, the more motes of starlight
you command, the greater your ability to
defy gravity becomes. For each mote of
starlight in your orbit, your flying speed
increases by 5 feet. 
COSMIC SWARM
At 18th level, you have mastered the art of
shaping your sorcery into starlight, and can
beckon forth a night sky’s worth of stars with
ease. When you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st
level or higher and create a mote of
starlight, instead of creating a single mote,
you can create a number of motes equal to
the spell’s level.
 
   

HIVEMIND SORCERY
You are part of a hivemind--a psionic group
of creatures that share thoughts, emotions,
and even sorcery at times. You might be the
result of illithid experiments, a victim of a
myconid attack, or gifted with powerful
psionic abilities by an entity of the Far
Realm. Alternately, you might’ve been born
at the exact same moment as a group of
other creatures, linking you permanently
and granting you the ability to share your
psionic gifts with others.
As part of a hivemind, your physical
appearance is not all that different from
others of your race, but your behavior can
stand out markedly. You might be extremely
empathetic, as the emotions of others just
seem simple for you to sense--but at the
same time, you might have difficulty
understanding personal boundaries when
the minds of others are always open to you.

ANNEX OF MINDS
Starting at 1st level, you are gifted with the
power to link minds. As an action, you can
choose up to two other willing creatures to
link with telepathically. This group of
creatures is called your Hive, and is used by

features you gain later.
Creatures in your Hive can communicate
with you and each other telepathically while
within a range of 30 feet, even while you
aren’t present. The creatures do not need to
share a language in order to communicate,
but they must be able to understand at least
one language, else they cannot be targeted
by this feature.
The number of other creatures you can
telepathically link increases by one at 6th
level (3 creatures), 14th level (4 creatures),
and 18th level (5 creatures). You are always
considered a member of your Hive, and do
not count towards this number. 
HELPING HIVE
Also at 1st level, you learn to share the
burden of solving problems with your Hive.
You know the ​guidance ​cantrip and can cast
it at will, but only on yourself or another
member of your Hive. 
SHARE THE BURDEN
At 6th level, your Hive shares the weight of
damage amongst its members, protecting
them from harm. When a member of your
Hive takes damage, you can use your
reaction to protect the creature, halving the
damage and suffering that half yourself.
You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once), after which you must
finish a long rest before you can do so
again.
EMPOWERED HIVE
At 14th level, your Hive connection grows
even stronger, granting you certain benefits
when near each other. When you finish a
long rest, choose one of the following
benefits. Until the end of your next long rest,

ORACULAR BLINDSPOT
At 14th level, you have become so familiar
with the act of divination that you know its
weaknesses and blindspots. You are
immune to any effect that would sense your
emotions or read your thoughts, and you
have advantage on saving throws made to
resist being detected or watched through
divination magic.
Additionally, oracular magic draws your
attention. When a creature attempts to
watch you or detect your presence through
divination magic, they must make an
Intelligence saving throw against your
sorcerer spell save DC. On a failed save,
you become aware that a creature is
attempting to divine on you, and if the
creature is visible to you, your eyes are
instantly drawn to it.

PROPHECY ARCANE
At 18th level, you learn to weave great
prophecies and gift them to others. You

you can only target a creature other than
yourself.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so

PRIMORDIAL SOUL
Your soul is attuned to the Primordial
Chaos--the miasma of raw elemental force
that gave birth to the planes. You might be
that fought with the gods for control of the
nascent Material Plane. You might have
been born in a liminal space, where the
Elemental Planes exert their influence more
strongly. You might even have an elemental
locked away inside of you--a last-ditch effort
by an errant mage or cleric, perhaps to save
your city from devastation.
You have a powerful alignment with the
four base elements, and it shows in your
physicality. When you are aligned to fire,
your eyes might burn with unnatural light.
When you are aligned to water, your hair
might flow as if towed by an invisible
current. When you are aligned to stone,
your skin might take on a cracked quality
like molten magma. When you are aligned
to air, your body might crackle with sparks
of errant lightning.

PRIMORDIAL ALIGNMENT
Starting at 1st level, you can align your body
and soul with a particular element. When
you finish a long rest, choose one of the
following elements: air, earth, fire, or water.
Until you finish your next long rest, you are
aligned to the chosen element. This
alignment will be used by features you gain
later.
Additionally, you have a natural affinity for
the language of elementals. You can speak,
read, and write Primordial and all of its
dialects.
ELEMENTAL SPELLS
At 1st level, your sorcery is shaped by the
elements. Depending on your aligned
element, you know an additional spell, and
gain access to more as you level up, as
shown in the Elemental Spells table below.
These spells count as sorcerer spells for
you, and don’t count against your number of
sorcerer spells known.
You only know the spells associated with
a particular element while you are aligned to
it. If the spell is a sorcerer spell, you can
learn it as normal to gain access to it while
aligned to a different element.

At 6th level, you learn to change with the
elements in the midst of battle. As an action,
you can change your alignment from one
element to another of your choice. You lose

first element, and any effects associated
with those features end immediately,
including any spells gained from your
Elemental Spells feature.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so
again until you finish a long rest.

spells and benefits of each element for the
duration.
