Sorcerer

Sorcerers are individuals born with an innate ability to control magic. This may be the result of an exotic bloodline, otherworldly influence, eldritch and unknowable forces, or other means. Unlike most other spellcasters, whose magic is a product of study or practice, the power of a sorcerer is derived from an expression of the will.
== Abilities ==
Sorcerers are uniquely powerful and flexible spellcasters. They are able to utilize a practice known as metamagic in order to alter the expression of their spells. Although they usually know less spells than wizards do, sorcerers are able to apply the spells they can produce in a more powerful or flexible manner. 
Sorcerers' expression of magic is derived from a sorcerous origin: the root cause of their magical power. However, a sorcerer's power--unlike a warlock's, for example--is entirely self-contained within the sorcerer.
== History ==
== Organizations ==
Because each sourcerer is unique in the motives and circumstance behind their power, as well as their overall rarity, organizations of sorcerers are rare. That said, many sorcerers are Dragonborn descended of a Draconic Bloodline, and members of their respective Bonds. Additionally, many Sorcerers of Divine provenance are members within the Divine Concord.
== Subclasses ==
=== Divine Soul ===
Sometimes the spark of magic that fuels a sorcerer comes from a divine source within their soul. Having such a blessed soul is a sign that your innate magic might come from a distant but powerful familial connection to a divine being. Perhaps your ancestor was an angel, transformed into a mortal and sent to fight in a god’s name. Or your birth might align with an ancient prophecy, marking you as a servant of the gods or a chosen vessel of divine magic.Xanathar's Guide to Everything
Divine Soul sorcerers bring about a mixed response from established religious organizations. In some groups, an outsider who commands celestial power can undermine the existing order by claiming a direct tie to the divine.Xanathar's Guide to Everything In other places, ecclesiastical positions are dominated by a few Divine bloodlines and preserved over generations.Xanathar's Guide to Everything
=== Draconic Bloodline ===
Sorcerers of a Draconic Bloodline are closely or dinstantly related with Dragons. Such individuals may trace their descent back to a Dragon ancestor, who may have sired or birthed a child while in polymorphed humanoid form. Some of these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.Player's Handbook
=== Shadow ===
The feared Shadow Sorcerers draw their power from Penumbra itself. On occasion also known as Dark Sorcerers or Grey Sorcerers, such sorcerers may trace their lineage to the denizens of the Plane of Shadow. On rare occasions, mortals who become exposed to the Bleakfell for extended periods of time may gain these dark powers. Such sorcerers hate light, and perform at their best while in the dark.Xanathar's Guide to Everything
=== Storm ===
Storm Sorcerers are sorcerers whose power is related with the Plane of Air.
=== Wild Magic ===
On occasion, magic will unexpectedly and unpredictably course into the soul of an individual for no apparent reason. Such stochastic tendencies generate stochastic sorcerers in turn. These individuals are known as Wild Magic sorcerers, on account of the unpredictable nature of their spellcasting.
