Storm Sorcery by Types

The main focus of Storm Sorcery is the power of elemental air with the focus on lightning and thunder. Since there are other types of storms, the suggestion was made on reskinning the expanded spell list for this subclass for other storm types. There is a page focused on the expanded spell lists for the Sorcerer here.

Subclass changes

Due to the change in storm types, there are some changes that'll need to be made to the subclass to reflect the new storm type. Anytime the subclass would have "lightning or thunder" damage, resistance, or immunity, then change it to your Storm Element Type.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an evocation or a transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
