Introduction

If you are a fan of both Dungeons & Dragons and Harry Potter, I present to you Wands & Wizards, a Harry Potter 5e Adaptation. Joining the magic of the Wizarding World with the gameplay of D&D 5e, this comprehensive Wizarding Alternative for Novelty Dungeoneering Stories (or W.A.N.D.S.) Rulebook substitutes 5e races, classes, subclasses, backgrounds, feats, skills, equipment, and spells. Like the 5e PHB, Part 1 of the W.A.N.D.S. Rulebook contains new character creation options. Part 2 focuses on the changes made to spellcasting and all of the new spells from the Harry Potter series. If you are unfamiliar with any of the Harry Potter references, please review the Glossary at the end of the W.A.N.D.S. Rulebook.

Differences from 5e

While all the core mechanics and rules of D&D still apply, all the character creation options have been replaced. None of 5e's default character options are available in W&W: no races, classes, backgrounds, feats, or equipment are compatible (unless specifically noted, like a handful of feats). The process of character creation remains unchanged, so you need only progress through the W.A.N.D.S. Rulebook sequentially, just like you would with the PHB. Below is a table that converts the 5e terminology into W&W terminology.

Character Creation Conversion Table

5e	W&W
Race	House
Class	Casting Style
Subclass or Archetype	School of Magic
Background	Wand or Background

Aside from character creation, there have been a few other changes to the system. Firstly, some skills have been added, removed, or replaced to better represent the skills used in the wizarding word. The skill conversion table can be found on page 40, which outlines how old 5e skills correspond with W&W skills. These are not simply renamings; new W&W skills can have different definitions and applications.

Most importantly, you will not be using the normal 5e spell lists. You will only use the spells in this rulebook, but quite a few 5e spells have been renamed or slightly modified. If a 5e spell has been included in W&W, it will be shown in the spell conversion tables on pages 45 and 46.

A Harry Potter Spellcaster

For character classes, you'll see three different casting styles. Although these represent three different classes, all three are built on the chassis of the 5e Sorcerer. Additionally, because they're all the same class at their core, they all have the same spell list. In W&W, everyone has access to the same spells (with some clear exceptions).

The Role of the HM

HM stands for Headmaster or Headmistress, which is used specifically to represent the Game Master running the game of W&W. That abbreviation is used throughout the document to refer to this person, whereas the term "headmaster" will mean the head professor of Hogwarts.

Levels and Hogwarts Years

A character's early levels can be associated with the magical abilities acquired through different years of school. Levels 1-2 correspond to average first-year students, just being introduced to schools of magic. Level 3 is second year and level 4 is third year, and at this point, they have learned to exercise some control over their magic. The threats they face are relatively minor, usually only posing a danger to other children or small villages.

Level 5 will typically be covered in the fourth year. Fifth-year students are levels 6-7, while sixth-year students are levels 8-9. This is when young witches and wizards really come into their own, learning powerful spells and abilities from their school of magic and becoming capable of facing dangers that threaten adult wizards.

Seventh year students are level 10 while Hogwarts graduates and the majority of adult wizards are levels 11-12. Only well-practiced wizards reach levels 13-16, like Aurors, Hogwarts teachers and members of the Order of the Phoenix (back in the Second Wizarding War). These characters have reached a level of power that makes them special even among wizards, confronting threats to whole regions or wizard academies.

At levels 17-20, characters achieve the pinnacle of their school of magic's features, becoming heroic (or villainous) archetypes in their own right. The fate of magical governments or even the entire muggle world might hang in the balance during their adventures.

Introduction

Chapter 1: Houses (Races)

Hogwarts students are divided up into four houses by the Sorting Hat when they first arrive at Hogwarts. Houses at Hogwarts are both the living and learning communities for its students. Each year's group of students in the same house shares their dormitory and many classes, acting as a sort of family. The houses compete by earning points for the House Cup and playing for the Inter-House Quidditch Cup.

Each house has stereotypical traits that are grounded in reality, but students are quite diverse. Some young witches and wizards share traits with another house, like Hermione Granger's Ravenclaw-like brilliance. Others might appear the exact opposite of their house, like Neville Longbottom's lack of confidence (needing time to grow into bravery) or Luna Lovegood's ostensible disconnection from facts (keeping a creative, open mind and being perceptive). The Sorting Hat places students in the house that will benefit them the most.

The way you decide your character's house is not always by what they do, but what would make them proudest if they were strong enough to do it. Your sorting is what you want to be and what you believe in.

Gryffindor

With a lion as its crest, Gryffindor is the house which most values the virtues of determination, courage, and chivalry. Some call these traits recklessness or "pointless heroics," but a Gryffindor is sure to take action. Gryffindor's house colors are red and gold.

Champions of Justice

Gryffindors trust their moral intuitions and have a need and a drive to live by them. They feel what's right in their gut, and that matters and guides them. If they don't listen to and act on that, it feels immoral.

However, just because they operate on what "feels right," that doesn't mean Gryffindors are all impetuous, emotional hellions. Gryffindors can still be intelligent and deliberate, weighing their decisions and moralities carefully.

Fighting Spirit

Gryffindors charge. They meet the world head-on and challenge it to do its worst. Gryffindors are honest, brash, and bold in pursuit of things they care about. Known for their bravery, it is almost a moral matter to stay true to themselves in any situation.

Gryffindor Traits

Through their camaraderie, Gryffindors bolster each other's confidence and endeavors.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score, Charisma score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Bravehearted. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened from any source other than a Dementor.

True Gryffindor. In times of dire need, the Sword of Gryffindor may present itself to you.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Hufflepuff

Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play, represented by the sturdy badger. Although often disparaged by others for their lack of competitiveness, the house has produced great wizards – not least Newt Scamander, notable magizoologist and author. Hufflepuff's house colors are yellow and black.

Compassion and Empathy

Hufflepuffs value people and community. They base their decisions on who is in need and who they can help. They value fairness because everyone is a person. Even directly wronged, Hufflepuffs will often give a second (or fifth) chance.

But Hufflepuffs aren't inherently tolerant, like Gryffindors aren't inherently moral. They believe that all people deserve some type of kindness or decency, but they can redefine "person" to exclude anyone who doesn't meet their standards.

Hard Workers

Hufflepuffs toil. Their strength comes from consistency and the integrity of their method. They have a certain steadiness, naturally becoming the lynchpin of a community. While stereotyped as being social, a Hufflepuff might also be an introverted misanthrope who runs on hard work alone.

Hufflepuff Traits

You can rely on them to have certain attributes in common.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score, Wisdom score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Steadfast Loyalty. You have advantage on saving throws against any effect that would make you attack or work against a creature you would normally consider an ally.

Kitchen Trips. Your experience with the Hogwarts house elves has taught you how to politely address and interact with magical beings. Oh, and you can get tons of snacks.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Part 1 | Houses (Races)

Ravenclaw

Ravenclaws prize wit, learning, and wisdom. It's an ethos etched into founder Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem: 'wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.' Despite the house's reputation for eccentricity and reclusiveness, Ravenclaws tend to make their mark on the world. Ravenclaw's house colors are blue and bronze.

A Systematic Mind

Ravenclaws construct systems to test their decisions against before they feel comfortable calling something right. Their systems give them a way to frame the world and a confidence in their ability to interact with it.

Ravenclaws do not lack intuition, but often distrust gut instinct. Although they go about it differently, a Ravenclaw can be just as morally motivated as a Gryffindor.

Contingency Planners

Ravenclaws plan. They collect information, they strategize. They have tools. They run hypotheticals and try to plan ahead for things that might come up. They build things (of varying degrees of actual usefulness) that they can use later, whether that's an emergency supply pack or vast knowledge in a niche topic. They feel less at home in improvisation and more comfortable taking the time to be prepared.

Ravenclaw Traits

With a library in their common room, Ravenclaws will always share studious habits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score, Wisdom score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

In-Depth Knowledge. Whenever you make an Intelligence or Wisdom ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 5 or lower as a 6.

Rowena's Library. You can easily research a desired topic through enlisting your housemates' help and browsing books exclusively found in the Ravenclaw common room.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Slytherin

Slytherin produces more than its share of Dark wizards, but also turns out leaders who are proud, ambitious, resourceful, and cunning. Merlin is one particularly famous Slytherin. What others may call cheating or manipulation, a Slytherin calls "playing the game." Slytherin's house colors are green and silver.

Inner Circle

Slytherins are fiercely loyal to the people they care for most. Slytherin is the place where "you'll make your real friends"; they prioritize individual loyalties and find their moral core in protecting and caring for the people they are closest to.

Slytherin's reputation for ambition comes from prioritizing themselves and the select people they deem important. Ambition is something you can find in all four houses, but Slytherin's looks most obviously selfish.

Machiavellian Maneuvers

Slytherins improvise. They are the most adaptive, finding their strength in responding quickly to whatever a situation throws at them. They improvise differently than Gryffindors, trying new angles instead of strong-arming the situation. They might have different "faces" for different situations, only truly being themselves when they're alone or feel safe.

Slytherin Traits

Although Slytherins like to keep their secrets, there are some obvious traits they all have.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score, Charisma score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Compromising Information. Whenever you make a Charisma check related to using a person's secrets, you are considered proficient in the appropriate skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

A Noble Quality. You're able to adopt a persona of importance to blend in among high-ranking officials and prestigious witches and wizards.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Part 1 | Houses (Races)

Beauxbatons

Located in the mountains of France, the Académie de Magie Beauxbâtons or Beauxbatons Academy of Magic is the choice of magical education for young witches and wizards living in Western, Southern, and sometimes even Central Europe. For wizards in the UK, Beauxbatons is most notable for its friendly rivalry to Hogwarts, and the two schools have often supported each other throughout history. Beauxbatons is widely recognized for the elegance of its castle, its majestic gardens and its well-prepared cuisine.

Tradition and Discipline

Etiquette and respect are at the forefront of Beauxbatons customs. The students stand at attention whenever their headmaster or headmistress enters a room and continue doing so until they take a seat or order everyone to return to their tasks.

There is a strong atmosphere of school pride, and the Academy's traditions are treasured by staff and students alike. While taught to be polite, that pride often shows through when students of Beauxbatons travel abroad.

A Delicate Approach to Magic

Beauxbatons Academy of Magic teaches its students to approach magic with control and finesse, instead of clumsiness or brute force. The studies revolve around proper dueling forms, taxonomies and knowledge deeply grounded in magical theory.

To an untrained eye, the deliberate movements of Beauxbatons duelists might resemble a choreographed dance, but it's closer to the precision, quickness and lethality of Muggle fencing.

Beauxbatons Student Traits

The traits of Beauxbatons students originate from their school's dueling style and from their travels abroad.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score, Wisdom score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Nimble Evasion. Whenever you take the dodge action, add half your proficiency bonus to your AC and your Dexterity saving throws.

Exchange Student. You're familiar with the workings of the International Confederation of Wizards and other international associations.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Durmstrang

Even among the magical community, the Durmstang Institute's location is a closely guarded secret, a symptom of the magical school's distrust of outsiders. Some believe it to be somewhere in the Nordic countries or Russia, but the only thing that's certain is that it accepts students from Northern, Central and Eastern European countries. Historically, Durmstrang has also refused to accept Muggleborn students, although that might be attributed to a previous headmaster's association with Britain's Death Eaters. Its modern policies are unknown.

Unorthodox Curriculum

Durmstrang is notorious for its acceptance of the Dark Arts, and was known to have educated (and later expelled) Gellert Grindelwald before his ascension as one of history's most dangerous Dark wizards.

Contrary to its reputation, Durmstrang doesn't specialize in the Dark Arts themselves, but in combative magic. The school is simply open-minded about the use of Dark Arts, and so most topics studied at Durmstrang incorporate Dark elements other schools would forswear.

Strength Through Hardship

The stern and militaristic culture that has pervaded the Durmstrang Institute is mirrored in its harsh surroundings. Brutal winters, rigorous physical exercise regimens and swimming in ice cold lakes are all part of the character-building school experience.

Although some parents feel the approach is too extreme, everything is designed to produce resilient and resourceful wizards and witches who will survive any combat.

Durmstrang Student Traits

The Durmstrang coursework and philosophy strongly define its students' attributes.

Ability Score Increase.
Your Strength score,
Constitution score, and
one other ability score of
choice increase by 1.

Cold Efficiency. You
add the bombarda spell
to your list of known spells.
It does not count against
your cantrips known, and
cannot be forgotten to learn
another cantrip.

Dark Education. You have
advantage on any rolls made to
resist gaining Corruption effects
from Dark magic.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Part 1 | Houses (Races)

Horned Serpent (Ilvermorny)

Horned Serpent is the house of scholars. Isolt Sayre, the founder of Ilvermorny, named her house for her friendship with a horned serpent and her ability to understand Parseltongue. Horned Serpent represents the mind of the wizard, since Isolt's passion for learning has been preserved in Horned Serpent.

Natural Academics

Because of Horned Serpent's reputation for studiousness, parallels are often drawn with the Ravenclaw house at Hogwarts, but Hogwarts and Ilvermorny houses are not equivalent to each other.

While it would be common to find a Horned Serpent student at the top of their class, you're just as likely to find them heading out to obtain first-hand practical experience. A certain appreciation of nature is another notable trait of Horned Serpent.

Horned Serpent Traits

Horned Serpents consistently like to test their well-rounded intellect.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score, Charisma score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Scholar's Mind. You add half your proficiency bonus to any Intelligence or Wisdom ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.

Procedural Thinking. You enjoy testing yourself with riddles and logic puzzles. If you get stuck on one, you might subconsciously connect a few dots.

Feat. You gain one feat
of your choice.

Wampus (Ilvermorny)

The house represents the
body of the wizard. Wampus
was chosen by Webster Boot,
one of the first students of
Ilvermorny and one of Isolt
Sayre's adopted children.
Wampus favors warriors, taking after Webster's career in the British colonies as a prominent "Auror for hire."

Warriors at Heart

Wampus is named after the wampus cat, an extremely dangerous magical creature found in America. The wampus cat is XXXXX classified by the Ministry of Magic: "Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate," which is fitting for the Ilvermorny house's reputation.

Wampuses rarely back down from a fight, whether it's in the form of an argument, fisticuffs or exchanged hexes. They place great value on swift action and self-defense. Fiercely loyal too, a Wampus is a good person to have on your side and terrible to have against you.

Part 1 | Houses (Races)

Wampus Traits

Wampuses' traits can be very useful in times of conflict and turmoil.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score, Constitution score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Warrior's Endurance. When you roll a 16 or higher on a death saving throw, you instantly regain 1 hit point. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Contagious Valor. Your moxie can be inspiring, and those around you feel more inclined to accompany you into battle against your foes.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Thunderbird (Ilvermorny)

Thunderbird is said to represent the soul of the wizard and is home to adventurers. The house was named and created by Chadwick Boot, Webster Boot's older brother, Isolt Sayre's other adopted son, and one of the first students of Ilvermorny. The Thunderbird house has been associated with Chadwick's later accomplishments as an international traveller and author of magical textbooks.

Discovery and Creation

The house is named after the awe-inspiring thunderbird, whose natural habitat is in southwestern United States. Thanks to its ability to create storms and its wide-ranging travels around North America, it's the most widely known magical creatures among indigenous No-Maj communities. Thunderbird students similarly feel a yearning to venture beyond the ordinary.

That desire can be expressed
through literal or conceptual
exploration, as Thunderbirds
are just as likely to
forge new paths in
their chosen field as
forge new paths through
the untamed wilderness.
Wherever they go, they'll
go boldy.

Thunderbird Traits

One thing that's a constant for all Thunderbirds is change.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength
score, Charisma score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Adventurer's Footing. Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.

Dependable Bearings. You have a good sense of direction and can easily use notable landmarks and geography to remember the general layout of areas.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Pukwudgie (Ilvermorny)

The Pukwudgie house
represents the heart of the
wizard, and is commonly
associated with healers.
This house was named by
James Steward, famous
for being the co-founder of Ilvermorny, husband of Isolt
Sayre, adoptive father of Chadwick and Webster Boot and the only known no-maj wandmaker.

Supportive and Self-Sufficient

James chose this house because a pukwudgie named William had accompanied Isolt. A mix between European goblins and house-elves in both appearance and magical capabilities, pukwudgies are traditionally aloof from human-kind. William later saved the lives of Isolt, James, and the Boots, and because of the respect showed by James, William and his descendants became Ilvermorny's guards and caretakers.

Students of the Pukwudgie house are often quite caring and compassionate. They easily empathize, even with an enemy, and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. However, Pukwudgies are just as capable of taking care of themselves and won't forget to prioritize their own happiness.

Pukwudgie Traits

Pukwudgies' perspective gives them common attributes.

Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score, Charisma score, and one other ability score of choice increase by 1.

Healer's Knack. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Medicine) check to stabilize a creature, add half your proficiency bonus to your roll.

A Diplomatic Touch. If you assist a hostile being in a meaningful way, they're more likely to reconsider their hostility towards you, potentially defusing the situation.

Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.

Part 1 | Houses (Races)

Chapter 2: Casting Styles (Classes)

While any wizard can cast a wide variety of spells, a young wizard's approach to magic defines his own unique casting style. Casting styles separate wizards and affect how they learn and use magic. The three available casting styles to choose from are Willpower, Technique, and Intellect. A wizard can only have one casting style and cannot multiclass or gain levels in any other casting styles.

Casting styles are the wizarding equivalent of classes. Casting style determines a character's Hit Dice, spellcasting ability score, saving throw proficiencies, and two skills. Although all wizards and witches are based what a Muggle would call a Sorcerer, each casting style will have slightly different class features, number of spells known, sorcery points, and metamagic progression.

Casting Style	Description	Hit Die	Primary Ability	Saving Throws	Skill Proficiency Options
Willpower	An inspirational survivor, who has a heart of a warrior	d10	CHA	CON & CHA	Athletics, Deception, Intimidation, Magical Theory, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Survival
Technique	A powerful specialist, with immense control over spells	d6	WIS	INT & WIS	Acrobatics, Herbology, Insight, Perception, Potion-Making, Sleight of Hand, Stealth
Intellect	A versatile academic, with a solution for every problem	d8	INT	DEX & INT	Acrobatics, Herbology, Insight, Investigation, Magical Creatures, Magical Theory, Medicine, Muggle Studies and Survival

Similarly, a witch's interests and background will lead her to specialize in a particular school of magic (Chapter 3). Studying a school of magic grants special abilities and knowledge related to that favored branch of magic, typically connecting to a future wizarding profession. A witch can only have one school of magic and cannot gain levels in any other school of magic. Schools of magic are the wizarding equivalent of subclasses, but schools of magic are not restricted to certain casting styles.

A wizard of any casting style can study any school of magic, but some combinations will synergize particularly well. Each school of magic will have its own subclass features and some schools of magic have a list of spells — its school of magic spells — that you learn once you gain a spell slot of the level noted in the school of magic description. Once you gain a school of magic spell, it's added to your spells known, it doesn't count against your number of spells known, and it cannot be forgotten to learn another spell.

School of Magic	Description	Suggested Class
Charms	A non-lethal dueling master casting a spell for every situation and enchanting artifacts	Technique or Intellect
Jinxes, Hexes, and Curses	A combatant going toe-to-toe with Dark wizards and nullifying ancient curses and harmful magic	Willpower
Transfiguration	An innovator manipulating the elements or shapeshifting into an animal form	Technique
Healing	A skilled professional saving lives through the treatment of magical ailments and injuries	Willpower or Intellect
Divination	A mystic unraveling visions of the future or probing minds for the answers they seek	Willpower or Technique
Magizoology	A researcher bonding with fearsome beasts and facing off with dark creatures	Intellect

Base Sorcerer Features

Font of Magic

Sorcery Points

You can never have more sorcery points than shown on the table for your level. You regain all spent sorcery points when you finish a long rest.

Flexible Casting

You can use your sorcery points to gain additional spell slots, or sacrifice spell slots to gain additional sorcery points.

Creating Spell Slots. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The created spell slots vanish at the end of a long rest.

Slot Level	SP Cost	Slot Level	SP Cost
1st	2	4th	6
2nd	3	5th	7
3rd	5

Converting a Spell Slot to Sorcery Points. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of sorcery points equal to the slot's level.

Metamagic

You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

Careful Spell

When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from the spell's full force. To do so, you spend 1 sorcery point and choose a number of those creatures up to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw.

Distant Spell

When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the spell's range.

When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.

Empowered Spell

When you roll a spell's damage, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of damage dice up to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum one). You must use the new rolls.

You can use Empowered Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the spell's casting.

Extended Spell

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.

Heightened Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 3 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Quickened Spell

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 Bonus Action for this casting.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal Components.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip).

The Willpower
Caster

When witches and wizards cast with feeling, they put all of their energy into their spells. Their "gut instinct" approach to magic taps into that willpower, but teaches them to take shortcuts. These wizards often have strong personalities and gravitate to the frontlines.

Class Features

As a Willpower caster, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d10 per Willpower level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per Willpower level after 1st

Proficiencies

Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
Skills: Choose two from Athletics, Deception, Intimidation, Magical Theory, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand and Survival

Spellcasting

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

You must use a wand as a spellcasting focus for your spells. Your spell slot progression is the standard for full casters.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose two of the spells you know and replace them with two spells from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Sorcerous Resilience

The accidental magic in your early childhood never stopped protecting you. Your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Font of Magic, Metamagic, and Ability Score Improvement

Unless differences are shown in the Willpower class table, a Willpower caster has all Font of Magic, Sorcery Points, Flexible Casting, Metamagic, and Ability Score Improvement class features from a 5e Sorcerer.

Metamagic: Fierce Spell

At 3rd level, when you cast a spell, you can spend 2 sorcery points to cast that spell as if it were cast using a spell slot one level higher than its original level, or 4 sorcery points to cast that spell two levels higher. The spell's higher level cannot exceed your highest available level of spell slots. This does not count against your number of Metamagic options.

Metamagic: Resistant Spell

At 3rd level, when you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point per increased level to make spell deflection, finite incantatem, or reparifors treat that spell as if it were cast using a spell slot higher than its original level. This makes your spell resistant to being dispelled. The spell's higher level cannot exceed your highest available level of spell slots. This does not count against your number of Metamagic options.

Apparition Lessons

When you reach 9th level, you gain the Apparition ability.

Signature Spells

When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two of your known 3rd-level spells as your signature spells. You can cast each of them once at 3rd level without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
