### Spell Slots

The Sorcerer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these sorcerer spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from the spell's full force.

### Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.

### Twinned Spell

To be eligible for Twinned Spell, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level.

level, and again when you reach 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th levels in the
sorcerer class, you learn your domain's spells that become available to
clerics at those levels.

Once per turn when you cast a spell, you can trigger the curse if that spell deals cold or lightning damage to the cursed target or forces it to move. Doing so subjects the target to the appropriate additional effect below, and then the curse ends if the spell isn't a cantrip (you choose the effect to use if more than one effect applies):
