Sorcerer Origin Spells

These spells are meant to put the Sorcerer more in line with other casters, with spells known on par with Bard while restricting it to spells thematic to their archetype, and spells prepared on par with Wizard without the versatility of their spellbook.

Sorcerous Origin

Origin Spells

Each origin has a list of spells—its origin spells—that you gain at the sorcerer levels noted in the origin description. Once you gain an origin spell, you cannot replace it with another spell when you level up, and it doesn’t count against your number of known spells. If you have an origin spell that doesn’t appear on the sorcerer spell list, the spell is nonetheless a sorcerer spell for you.
