I created this series of rings to allow sorcerer's access to an additional metamagic option for one spell per long rest. My original intent was to set it up similar to the Instrument of the Bard's with a parent item that linked to child items. Moderators felt that the parent page was extraneous, so I'm posting this here to provide the details of the parent page i created(See Below).
Note: None of these are play tested. I just tried to cover any usage that felt like it could be abused.
Description of the Ring of Sorcerer's parent item:
While attuned to this ring you can use the sorcery points stored within this ring to cast a spell with a Metamagic option based on the ring type. You can use this ability even if you do not have the Metamagic option selected.
Sorcery points can be stored within the ring on a long rest for the Metamagic option cost plus 1. The sorcery points have to be available at the beginning of a long rest to charge the ring. The ring stores enough sorcerous power for one use per long rest.You may attune to only one Ring of Sorcerer's at a time.

Think of the mechanics working similar to a Ring of Spell Storing. But instead of casting the spell into the ring. You are infusing the ring with Sorcery points. Enough points to use one Metamagic option per long rest. An additional sorcery point is needed when infusing the ring, consider this to be the energy used for infusing the ring.
For example: Say you have a Ring of Sorcerer's Precision and you want to charge it during your long rest. You need to have 2 sorcery points available to charge the ring. One sorcery point for the cost of the Careful Spell Metamagic option and 1 point to power infusing the ring.
Thanks for the name correction. I had originally started with a naming convention like "Ring of Sorcerous Precision". But it didn't work out well as a generic name. I'm not sure what i can do to fix the name now.
As it works like a ring of spell storing I strongly suggest copying that ring's description and replace "spell" and "spell level" with "sorcerer point".
When renaming, I would contact a moderator before submitting the items for review.

So just to be clear. It's not an exact copy of Ring of Spell Storing for Sorcerer's points. I used Ring of Spell Storing as a reference point to try and make the basic mechanics clear. You store sorcerer points in these rings in order to use Sorcerer Metamagic options that you did not pick at 3rd, 10th, or 17th levels. So instead of being stuck with a maximum of 4 Metamagic options you can get 1 cast of a 5th option. The description and mechanics are designed to cover loopholes that i felt would make the item overpowered.

Looking over it,
I'm deeply confused about how many charges there are. There's something about storing sorcerer points and using them?Also, the generic name should be "Ring of The Sorcerer" and individually, "Ring of The Sorcerer's Divide".

The cost for Ring of Sorcerer's Submission and Ring of Sorcerer's Divide are higher because the cost of Heightened Spell and Twinned Spell are higher.
