Born of Cold and Winter Air

Beginning at 1st level when you choose this origin, you gain
resistance to cold damage. You can also move across and
climb icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check,
and difficult terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost you
extra movement.
When you reach 18th level in this class, your resistence to
cold damage changes to immunity.
In addition, your power gives you innate control over ice,
allowing you to manipulate it and form simple items out of it.
You can use an action to freeze water or melt ice within a 5-
foot cube up to 30 feet away, or shape existing ice within the
same area into complex shapes. You can also form gear out of
ice, such as weapons or simple tools. A single action allows
you to create one piece of equipment that costs 2gp or less,
provided the equipment does not have any moving parts and
is not a focus. You can also make a single melee weapon, or
10 pieces of ammunition for a ranged weapon. Damage
caused by your ice weapons deals additional cold damage
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 damage).
When you freeze water or shape ice in this way, it stays
frozen for a number of hours equal to your sorcerer level, and
items you form out of ice last for 1 hour before melting. You
can have a number of effects or items active at a time equal to
your proficiency bonus, and you can dismiss such an effect as
an action.

Freezing Chains
Beginning at 14th level, when you freeze a creature with your
Winter's Grasp feature, you can expend an additional 2
sorcery points to instead restrain the target.
Ice Palace
At 18th level, your mastery over ice allows you to cast the
spell mighty fortress once without expending a spell slot.
When you do, the fortress is made of unmeltable ice pulled
from the Frostfell, the Para-Elemental Plane of Ice, instead of
stone, and it has immunity to cold damage.
Once you cast mighty fortress, you can't do so again until
you finish a long rest.
Phoenix Sorcery
Your innate power draws from the immortal flame of the
legendary phoenix, which burns within you. You or an
ancestor may have aided a phoenix and were blessed for the
effort, or you were born in one's presence. Your body may
have even been suffused with the energies of the Elemental
Plane of Fire, granting you the powers of the mythical
creature. Whatever the cause, a shard of the phoenix’s power
dwells within you.

Phoenix Magic
Starting at 1st level, you learn an additional spell when you
reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Phoenix
Sorcery Spells table. The spell counts as a sorcerer spell for
you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells
you know.

5th fireball, revivify
7th aura of life, wall of fire
9th flame strike, raise dead
Ignite
At 1st level, you gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As
an action, you can magically ignite a flammable object you
touch such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes.
You can also heat an item made of a material that can retain
heat, such as stone or metal, and concentrate on it (as if on a
spell). The item can be no larger than a 1-foot cube. A heated
item deals 1d4 fire damage to anyone who touches it, and is
hot enough to cook with or ignite other flammable objects.
When you reach 5th level, you can use this feature on a
suitable object up to a number of feet away equal to your
sorcerer level.
Mantle of Flame
Starting at 1st level, you can unleash the spark of phoenix fire
that blazes within you. As a bonus action, you magically
wreathe yourself in swirling fire, and your eyes glow like hot
coals. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
Your speed increases by 10 feet.
You gain resistance to fire damage.
You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for
an additional 30 feet.
A creature that touches you or hits you with a melee
attack while you are within 5 feet of it takes 1d10 fire
damage.
When you deal fire damage with a spell, you can add your
Charisma modifier to that damage.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a sorcery point
to do so.
Combustion Mastery
At 6th level, your flames burn hot enough to scorch creatures
normally tolerant to heat. Fire damage dealt by your sorcerer
spells and features ignores fire resistance.
Fiery Rebirth
Beginning at 14th level, the spark of phoenix fire within you
can flare with life to save you from certain death. When you
are reduced to 0 hit points or die, you return to life at the
beginning of your next turn in a fiery explosion.
When you do, roll a number of d6s equal to your sorcerer
level. You return to life with that many hit points, and each
creature within 15 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving
throw versus your spell save DC. On a failure, a target suffers
fire damage equal to your sorcerer level, or half as much
damage on a success.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest, unless you spend 10 sorcery points. You
gain a level of exhaustion when you return to life each time
you use this feature by expending sorcery points.
Soul of the Phoenix
At 18th level, you learn how to fully manifest the heart of fire
within you. You gain resistance to fire damage at all times,
and when you use your Mantle of Flame feature you gain the
following additional benefits:
You have a flying speed equal to two times your walking
speed, and can hover.
You have resistance to all damage, and immunity to fire
damage.
In addition, when you activate your Mantle of Flame
feature, and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can
momentarily transform your body and any equipment you are
wearing or carrying into a form of pure living fire until the
beginning of your next turn.
While transformed in this way, you are immune to the
grappled and restrained conditions, and you can move
through a space as narrow as l inch wide without squeezing.
You can also enter a hostile creature's space and stop there.
The first time you enter a creature's space on a turn, that
creature takes 1d10 fire damage.
You can remain in this form without interruption if you
begin each of your turns by using a bonus action to extend
the duration.
