Phoenix Spark

Your affinity for magic originates from a fey connection with one of the immortal birds of fire, the phoenix. A creature known for its ancient wisdom and benevolence has graced you with its spark, giving you the aptitude to channel your inner fire to burn and heal both friend and foe. While phoenixes rarely dwell near enough to humanoid settlements to be encountered, it is said that a phoenix instils gifts of ancient knowledge and talent to those who possess great virtues. Perhaps your family has been serving and worshipping the phoenix  for decades, waiting for it to finally grace them with its light and show them who to follow. Maybe you were the best candidate nearby for the phoenix's last dying breath, bestowing you with the power to one day avenge it. Whatever its origin, you have been blessed with this spark, and while it may be wild and unpredictable sometimes, you will learn to control it.

Phoenix Magic

1st	cure wounds, hellish rebuke

Cauterize

1st-level Phoenix Spark feature

Upon choosing this spark at 1st level, whenever you cast a spell that would deal fire damage to at least one creature, you can choose a number of affected creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature) to instead take no fire damage, and cause them to recover hit points equal to half the number of fire damage you rolled for the spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

This feature has no effect on constructs and undead.

Measured Burst

6th-level Phoenix Spark feature

Starting at 6th level, you have gained insight into not only the warmth of the phoenix but its wrath. When you roll to determine the amount of fire damage dealt or hit points a creature recovers from a spell, you can treat all dice rolls lower than your Charisma modifier as being equal to your Charisma modifier.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you spend 8 sorcery points to use it again.

Bird of Fire

14th-level Phoenix Spark feature

At 14th level, you become resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you gain the ability to manifest a pair of flaming wings from your back as a bonus action, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. The wings last until you're incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a bonus action.

Ashes to Ashes

18th-level Phoenix Spark feature

Starting at 18th level, as an action or when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can explode in a torrent of fire as you are overwhelmed by your once tempered flames. The area in a 30-foot radius from you is engulfed in flame and a high-pitched screech is audible out to a mile. All creatures in the affected area must make a Dexterity saving throw or take fire damage equal to 10d6 + your sorcerer level and be pushed to the edge of the 30-foot area. On a successful save, affected creatures only take half as much damage and are pushed 10 feet away from you.

This seemingly alive fire spreads around corners and if this damage reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated as per the disintegrate spell. This feature also automatically disintegrates a Large or smaller nonmagical object or a creation of magical force within the area. A magic item is unaffected by this feature.

At the start of your next turn if you used this feature in correspondence with being reduced to 0 hit points, you reconstitute and return to life with a number of hit points equal to half your hit point maximum, and two levels of exhaustion. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
