Shattered Soul

In the pursuit of true power some practitioners of the arcane arts delve towards the darker side of things, whether giving their souls to a powerful entity, making deals with devils, or needlessly sacrificing the lives of the people around them. In rarer cases some of the sorcerers find themselves quite literally searching through the dark, gazing deep into the abyss in search of the primordial chaos that makes up the very fabric of our existence. This in itself can easily break the wills of lesser people causing incurable madness and fear, trapping them within their own minds, but there are those who push through. The few who find themselves on the other end of the abyss are rewarded with the empty, infinite, dark of pre-creation, shattering their minds and granting them power they could never truly comprehend.

You have achieved what very few could ever hope to achieve, you have gazed into what lies beyond and were able to return to the material plane.  this comes with the benefits of power and knowledge but it is not without flaw, your mind is broken, and the boundaries between the planes seem to be ever shifting.  Unlike most sorcerers intellect is your best asset it is the strength behind all your magic.

Upon taking this sorcerous origin you immediately learn how to speak read and write in primordial and one other language of your choice.

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

But your mind is shattered, every day roll a d6 which determines alignment. 1-2 lawful, 3-4 neutral, 5-6 chaotic.

and choose one quirk,

1. everything you think you say out loud

2. you cannot cast spells with verbal components unless you scream them

3. you talk to the other shattered versions of yourself constantly, especially at inopportune times

 

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Shattered soul spell table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Eyes of the Void

starting at 1st level as a bonus action you gaze into the primordial forces surrounding your enemy learning all of their vulnerabilities, resistances, and immunities. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier, regain all expended uses on a long rest.

Also you can cast identify as a ritual spell.

 

Mass Hysteria

Starting at 1st level You gain the ability to project your madness into the minds of others.

As a reaction when an enemy you can see within 60ft of you hits with an attack roll, they must make a charisma saving throw. On a failed save they take the damage of the attack. Or nothing on a successful save.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier. and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

 

Mind over Matter

Starting at 6th level you no longer have to do the somatic components when spellcasting and gain resistance to force damage, also you gain advantage on saving throws against any spell or ability that tries to fear or charm you.

-Gain the ability "spell crafter" when casting a spell that deals damage you may change the damage type to any specific type you want. acid, bludgeoning, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, piercing, poison, psychic, radiant, slashing, and thunder. this must be decided before the attack roll or saving throw. additionally when casting an area effect spell (ex. fireball) that would normally harm your allies it instead only harms creatures you choose.

 

 

Eyes of the Abyss

Starting at 6th level when you use your eyes of the void ability the target creature gains disadvantage on their next saving throw.

All seeing Eye

You have achieved control over reality to a degree, but this is only the beginning.

Starting at 14th level you immediately stop ageing and can no longer be affected by this worlds sicknesses or diseases.

-Your eyes of the void ability now lets you shape reality to your will.  you may choose to either add or remove a vulnerability or resistance, or remove an immunity. The target must make a charisma saving throw equal to your spell save, on a failed save the changes take effect for 24 hours. On a successful save no changes take effect but eyes of the void still functions as normal.  willing creatures may choose to fail the saving throw.  only one instance of this spell may be active on a creature at any given time. attempting to cast this on a creature already affected by "Eyes of the Void" removes the current effect.
