The Sorcerer benefits from being able to twist their spells with metamagic or by being able to vary the number of spells they can cast each day. However, they lack spells known overall. The Sorcerer has lower HP than most classes, and has to be protected in combat, but will pay off by high damage ceilings.

LOOK INSIDE
The streets were quiet downtown during the week. Most businesses were closed due to this global pandemic. Unsettlement and uncertainty for many had gloomed over. Restlessness indoors overcame, yet the need to connect to something other than your own surroundings was prominent. With an overcast of clouds and silence outdoors, some would say a great day for a reflective walk. You never know what thoughts or sites you are going to connect with, or find in this case.
