Wild Magic Sorcery (Revised)

Magic is not always orderly. For some sorcerers, arcane power wells up in uncontrollable bursts, bending reality in ways even they cannot fully anticipate.

A Wild Magic Sorcerer draws power from a volatile source—an ancient planar disturbance, exposure to raw magic, a fractured Weave, or a lineage touched by chaos itself. Each spell they cast threatens to unleash a surge of untamed energy, warping spells, summoning anomalies, or twisting the battlefield in unexpected ways.

Unlike other spellcasters, Wild Magic Sorcerers do not merely risk chaos—they accumulate it. The longer their magic goes unrestrained, the more likely it is to erupt in spectacular and dangerous ways. When a surge finally breaks free, the arcane pressure resets, only to begin building once more.

Some Wild Magic Sorcerers embrace this uncertainty, riding the edge of disaster to achieve moments of astonishing power. Others struggle to master the storm within, learning—sometimes too late—that chaos can never truly be tamed, only delayed.

Whether viewed as a blessing or a curse, Wild Magic marks its wielders as living breaches in reality—unpredictable, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

Level 3: Wild Magic Surge (Revised)

Your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic.
Each time you cast a Sorcerer spell using a spell slot, you must roll 1d20 immediately after the spell is cast.

The Wild Magic DC starts at 1. If the result of your roll is equal to or higher than the current Wild Magic DC, a Wild Magic Surge occurs, and you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to determine the magical effect.

If your roll does not trigger a Wild Magic Surge, the Wild Magic DC increases by 1.

When a Wild Magic Surge is triggered by this feature, the Wild Magic DC resets to 1.

If the magical effect is a spell, it is too wild to be affected by your Metamagic.

Level 3: Tides of Chaos

You can manipulate chaos itself to give yourself Advantage on one D20 Test before you roll the d20. Once you do so, you must cast a Sorcerer spell with a spell slot or finish a Long Rest before you can use this feature again.

If you do cast a Sorcerer spell with a spell slot before you finish a Long Rest, you automatically roll on the Wild Magic Surge table.

Level 6: Bend Luck

You have the ability to twist fate using your wild magic. Immediately after another creature you can see rolls the d20 for a D20 Test, you can take a Reaction and spend 1 Sorcery Point to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the d20 roll.

Level 14: Controlled Chaos

You gain a modicum of control over the surges of your wild magic. Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, you can roll twice and use either number.

Level 18: Tamed Surge

Immediately after you cast a Sorcerer spell with a spell slot, you can create an effect of your choice from the Wild Magic Surge table instead of rolling on that table. You can choose any effect in the table except for the final row, and if the chosen effect involves a roll, you must make it.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
