Spiritual Intuit

A natural font of magic lies within everyone. Many are born with an innate understanding of this magic while others have to follow a strenuous routine of spiritual study in order to tap into this wellspring. You’ve spent your life studying the magics within your own spirit. Through meditation and spiritual growth, you have connected with the natural spark at the center of your being. Using this connection, you’ve learned to draw out your innate magics to empower spells and affect others around you. It has since become your life’s goal to hone your spiritual training in order to become one with the world around you.

As a sorcerer, the origins of your powers are incredibly important. To determine the inciting incident that sparked your abilities, you can pick or roll on the table below. If none of these options work for you, consider speaking with your GM to work out a custom option. 

1. At an early age, I found that calm and quiet environments allowed me to focus on my heartbeat and breathing. Not long after I noticed that doing these exercises brought magics bubbling to the surface.
2. My magic manifested in a fit of rage. The raw power of it was frightening and I vowed that, if I am innately in tune with magic, I will control it and not allow it to control me.
3. I attended a monastery seeking a monastic path. Needless to say both I and my mentors were surprised when their teachings unlocked something else.
4. I was caught in a sudden and unexpected surge of magic that sparked something within me. My curiosity has led me to experiment how I can draw that spark out. 
5. During a recent visit to the city archives, I happened upon ancient texts that spoke of unlocking a person’s hidden potential. They really work! Now it’s time to decipher them to see how far I can take this.
6.  I had an experience with death. Before being brought back, I bonded with another spirit. Once awakened, I found I could do magical feats I was unable to perform before.

Mindful Insight

1st level Spiritual Intuit feature

Your growth depends on your ability to openly and honestly confront the harsh truths about your own limitations. Facing these hard truths in yourself has helped recognize when others aren’t being completely honest. When making a Wisdom (insight or perception) check, double your proficiency bonus.

Spiritual Shell

1st level Spiritual Intuit feature

Through determination and spiritual study, you’ve managed to tap into the wellspring of magics that are suffused within your being. Navigating the different aspects of this energy has taught you how to pull them forth in a powerful aura that both protects and empowers you. As an action, you can manifest your power as a spiritual shell that shrouds you for 1 minute. While wreathed in this energy, you gain the following attributes:

• You gain a +2 to your AC.
• You can roll an extra 1d4 damage when casting a spell that deals damage.
• You emit a bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light an additional 10 feet. 

Once you use this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 3rd level, if you use 3 sorcery points, you can use this feature again before resting.

Replenishing Spirit

6th level Spiritual Intuit feature

You’ve learned to empower your abilities by mediating on the magics woven deep within the very essence of your being. Provided you have the Hit Dice available, you can use a bonus action to expend Hit Dice and replenish missing Sorcery Points. You must expend two Hit Dice for each Sorcery Point you wish to recover.

Aura of Calm

14th level Spiritual Intuit feature

Your immense practice at controlling your personal emotional state causes you to exude an aura of calm which others find intoxicating. As a bonus action, you can expend a sorcery point to create a calming aura for 1 minute. The aura has a diameter of 30 feet and is centered on you. You can target a number of creatures within the aura equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). The targeted creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw equal to your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed. While charmed in this way, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0 as long as the aura is going. 

If the creature takes any damage, it can attempt the save again, ending the effect on a success.

Empowered Shell

18th level Spiritual Intuit feature

Your continued work at learning to control your internal magics has elevated the power you can draw forth when shrouding yourself in your spiritual aura. When using an action to invoke your spiritual shell, you can choose to empower it with the following added benefits:

• While wreathed in this energy, you have resistance to all forms of damage except necrotic and psychic damage.
• Attack rolls made with spells are rolled with advantage.
• When a creature is hit with a spell that would force it to make a saving throw, that creature does so with disadvantage.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 7 sorcery points to use it again.
