Base Class: Sorcerer
Your Spellcasting ability comes from being exposed to an ancient school of magic that was lost for many years. Ontomancy is the ability to control or alter reality and actuality to create, erase, or change items, people, or spells. Ontomancy sorcerers cannot learn or teach their powers to others, as the school chooses the sorcerer to express itself through. Ontomantic powers can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can range from small, predictable effects- to wild arcana that blur the lines between the existent and nonexistent.
Reality Warp
Also at 1st level, you can alter reality to cause the outcome of certain events to change in your favor. When you or an ally within 60 feet of you fails an ability check or saving throw, you can expend an amount of Ontomancy Points as a reaction, adding 2 to the roll for each point expended.
Metaphysicality
Starting at 1st level, you can store metaphysical energy from using magic. Whenever you cast a non-cantrip spell or expend Sorcery Points, you gain an Ontomancy Point. You can have a number of stored Ontomancy Points equal to your proficiency bonus, and they disappear after a long rest.
Magical Entropy
Starting at 6th level, your magic can be used to create an unstable ripple in spacetime. You can use a bonus action to expend 2 Ontomancy Points and roll 2d20. The number you roll will produce an effect from the Entropy Table depending on the number rolled.

Ontological Break
Starting at 14th level, you can use magic to alter the reality and logic that defines a creature. When you hit a creature with a spell attack, you can expend 3 Ontomancy Points to roll a d4, causing one of the following effects:
- The target has any resistances or immunities replaced with vulnerability for the next minute.
- The target has their ties to reality severed. Any damage caused by them is halved, and they cannot interact with objects until the end of their next turn.
- The target becomes a fey, fiend, celestial, and undead for the purpose of any spell or ability that affects those creature for the next minute.
- The target is erased from existence until the end of their turn.
Paracausality
At 18th level, you can subvert the cause and effect rules of reality. When you take damage, fail a saving throw, or fall to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to begin concentrating (as if concentrating on a spell) to ignore the damage, succeed the saving throw, or fall to 1 hit point instead. You can concentrate this way for up to a minute. For that minute, you succeed all saving throws, are immune to all damage, and your Metamagic doesn't consume Sorcery Points. The only saving throws you can fail in this state are the ones made for concentration, which you must make as if this feature weren't active. You can use this feature once per long rest.
For example, if you would take 30 damage , you take 0 but must make a Constitution saving throw to keep concentration as if you took the 30 damage (DC 15). While this feature is active, you cannot gain advantage on Constitution saving throws.
