 CONDUIT SORCERER
onduits are a sub-species of humanoids whose innate magic comes from the presence of the

C
“Conduit Gene”. This gene allows them to partially bond with an unknown natural or
unnatural material or element and manipulate it in powerful ways. Those with this gene
may not even know they have it, as it has no outward effects until the gene is “awakened.”
Awakening the gene usually requires large surges of energy to pass through or over the
carrier, transforming them into a powerful manipulator of the elements.

Conduit Constitution
Your conduit gene enhances your natural physicality,
making you hardier than most other sorcerers. At 1st
level when you choose this origin, your hit die increases
from a d6 to a d8.
Conduit for Power
At 1st level when you select this origin, you may select
one element that fuels all of your spells. This element
also determines the type of damage your damage-
dealing spells do. You can pick one additional element
at 6th, 14th and 18th level. The potential elements are
listed on the following page.
Once you possess more than one element, you can
switch between them by using a bonus action, and
magically absorbing the innate energies from a material
related to your element. Eg. you can switch to smoke
power with a handful of ashes.
Conduit Mobility
Starting at 6th level, you can utilise your elemental
powers to move across the battlefield with increased
ease. You can expend 2 sorcery points and, for the next
minute, when you take the Dash action on your turn,
you can move an additional 10ft, and you can cover or
shroud yourself in your current element to provide extra
protection. Any opportunity attack that targets you is
made at disadvantage.
Conduit of Air
At 6th level, you can simultaneously slow your descent
and propel yourself forward, essentially gliding through
the air. You gain a fly speed equal to half your
movement, but you descend 5 ft in the same amount of
time. Using this ability requires you to use your bonus
action.
Additionally, you can launch yourself high into the air  
with your elemental powers. You can expend 3 sorcery
points and jump 30ft straight up into the air as an
action.
Extended Conduit
Beginning at 14th level, your body’s connection to your
elements allows you to derive extra energy from a
power source related to your current element. During a
short rest, you can perform a ritual by concentrating and
drawing energy from a material component related to
your current element.
You make a DC 10 concentration check. If you
succeed, the DC for this check increases by 4, and
you can regain hit points or spell slots. The DC for
this check resets after a long rest
For health, you can roll any number of hit dice and
regain that many hit points. For each dice you roll,
you must expend 2 sorcery points. These hit dice do
not count against your regular hit dice.
For spell slots, you expend 4 sorcery points and you
roll 1d6 and regain one spell slot equal to or lower
than the number rolled.
You can perform this ritual a number of times per long
rest equal to half your CON modifier, rounded up.
Conduit in Crisis
At 18th level, you can go beyond your bodies natural
limits, weakening yourself in order to continue fighting.
When you are out of any level of spell slot, and you want
to cast a spell of that level, you can roll a number of d8s
equal to the spells level and subtract that number from
your Hit Point maximum and cast the spell. Your HP
maximum remains depleted, and you cannot use this
ability again, until you complete a long rest.
