Tortured Soul

Typically tortured souls come from families of sorcerers who have decided cruelty would be the teacher for those who didn’t manifest their magic on time or in abusive families that are not aware of their victims latent potential . When the poor tortured souls powers do awaken (usually at ages over 13) it’s typically violent and untameable due to the magic wanting vengeance against those that broke it, typically resulting in the deaths of the abusers. 

because of how they are created tortured souls are deeply troubled individuals who often grapple with their equally troubled magic.

Survivor’s Spellcasting

1st-level Tortured Soul feature

 Your magic continuously reforged itself as your body did , becoming linked to your very vitality. Your spellcasting  modifier is no longer charisma, it is instead constitution as your magic has learned to draw from it. 

You also learn additional spells  based on the torment you’ve suffered and ways to escape it  when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the survivor’s  Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

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 a necromancy, illusion or an enchantment spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
