Sorcerers can be a challenge to play, as they have a variety of abilities and spells that can be difficult to use effectively. ..
Sorcerers in Dungeons and Dragons 5e are unique because they have a small spell pool and must rely on Meta Magic to do well. This makes them better at specializing and excelling with their Sorcerous Origin.
Sorcerers have a preference for Meta Magic and their Sorcerous Origin when choosing spells. ..
Sorcerers are a vital part of any party, and understanding their role is essential in order to maximize their abilities.
Specialization is better than contingency when it comes to technology. ..
The Sorcerer’s spells are available to a cleric if they have the Divine Soul Sorcerous Origin.
20. Minor Illusion
Minor Illusion is a cantrip that can be used to create an illusion of yourself. This can be helpful in disguising yourself or making yourself look more powerful or important than you actually are.
This Cantrip allows you to make a sound or image within 30 feet. If you make the image of an object, its size must be no larger than a 5-foot cube.
Minor Illusion is a useful tool for creating distractions or hiding from predators. ..
Make sure your enemies don’t see you make the illusion, or else it’s pointless!
19. Fire Bolt
Fire Bolt is a Cantrip that can be used to deal damage to your target.
The bow has a range of 120 feet and does 1d10 fire damage.
As you progress through your Sorcerer levels, Fire Bolt’s damage will also increase with you.
Unfortunately, as the spell name says, this is a fire spell. There are a lot of creatures in the game that resist fire. So you might want to pick up another Cantrip of a different damage type to make up for Fire Bolt, just to have some balance.
18. Fly
Fly is a very useful spell, but I wouldn’t get it before getting Counterspell, Haste, and Fireball.
If you picked the Draconic Bloodline or Divine Soul as your Sorcerous Origin, you’ll start to lose some of the power and abilities that come with them. But it’ll still be very useful for your allies.
This spell allows the caster to fly at 60 feet per round, unaffected by objects that slow down their base speed. This makes it a great spell for a quick get away or pursuit of fleeing enemies.
17. Phantasmal Force
Phantasmal Force is a powerful spell that has potential but is not currently on the game for its damage.
This spell is potentially game breaking, and is usually overlooked by DMs. It allows the caster to control an object or creature with a single word.
Phantasmal forces can create illusions in the minds of creatures. ..
Your party’s god has descended to protect them, and they may not be able to fight an encounter if they’re not careful.
If your DM is for it, you could implant into your victim’s minds ideas that will make them more likely to do what you want. But most DMs will usually catch on quickly if it’s abused. And then possibly limit Phantasmal Force’s potency.
The spell forces an enemy to make an Intelligence check, even if they are not particularly intelligent.
16. Sleep
This spell can make low-level encounters a bit more manageable.
The spell doesn’t require concentration and has no saving throws. ..
You could use this on full health targets to incapacitate them before finishing them off.
While very powerful, it falls off quickly at later levels. So consider replacing Sleep often if you’re encountering monsters with bigger health pools on a regular basis.
A possible replacement for this one is Hypnotic Pattern. ..
15. Web
Web is a tool that can help you keep your enemies at bay.
Web is a spell that can be used to trap enemies or to hinder their movement. It is often underestimated, but it can be a powerful tool in the mage’s arsenal. ..
Since melee enemies won’t be able to get close if they’re restrained, you protect yourself and other ranged allies too. ..
Your party will thank you for restraining them, because they’ll have an advantage on attack rolls while enemies will have a disadvantage on their attack rolls.
This means that your enemies will have to fire more carefully if they want to hit you, since they won’t be able to hit as many targets at once.
Web is a powerful spell that can be used to control your enemies. If you get access to level 5 spells, you might want to switch this out for another spell that is more useful at this point in the game.
14. Invisibility/Greater Invisibility
In D&D 5e, invisibility is a very powerful ability. It’s great for hiding from enemies, and it can also be used to sneak past them undetected. ..
The new security feature at the airport is fantastic. ..
Greater Invisibility is an excellent spell when used in conjunction with Twinned Spell and Extended Spell. Casting it on two allies or extending its duration allows you to protect them more effectively. ..
Invisibility can be used to guarantee a sneak attack, sneak by enemies, or even play a prank on a lord. ..
13. Fireball
Sorcerers often rely on fireball as their must-have spell. This spell is incredibly powerful and can easily take out enemies or obstacles in your way.
The third level spell causes 8d6 fire damage with a 20-foot radius explosion. It can be cast from 150 feet away. ..
Fireball is a powerful damage spell that can easily take out enemies. It’s simple to cast and has an explosive effect, making it a great choice for Sorcerers.
12. Shield
- Being able to get a +5 AC bonus that can be cast as a reaction on a first level spell is insane. ..
The game “Dungeons and Dragons” is a well-known tabletop role-playing game that scales well into the mid to high level play. Players can use sorcery points to keep replenishing their Shield if absolutely needed. ..
Shield can protect you from attacks, even if they hit. By knowing the results of an attack roll, you can use your Shield to turn a potential devastating hit into a miss.
This combination of abilities synergizes well with Mirror Image and Mage Armor.
11. Levitate
Levitate could potentially imitate other higher level spells.
Levitate is a 2nd-level spell that can be used to lift objects or people, despite its low level. Despite this, it has a lot of potential due to its versatility. ..
Levitate an ally to make a safe landing similar to feather fall. Or help yourself or an ally get up a difficult wall if your Strength checks can’t make the DC.
Telekinesis has a weight limit of 1000lbs, while Levitate only has a weight limit of 500lbs. ..
Levitate lets you use your spells to fly. This means that you can use your levitating abilities to reach high places, or even sling spells like fireballs and bolts with ease.
10. Banishment
Banishment will probably be your first spell as a Sorcerer. It will take away all your magic, making you vulnerable to attack.
This spell sends a target to another plane of existence for 1 minute if they fail a Charisma saving throw. If the target is successful, they are banished to another plane of existence for that amount of time. If the target is unsuccessful, they are sent to their current location for that amount of time.
When it works, the app is terrific. ..
Your opponents will usually have low Charisma scores, which can make them difficult to talk to or even understand.
Extraplanar beings are powerful enemies that you’ll come across. This is great for Banishment because using it on extraplanar beings will return them to their home plane.
If you’re concentrating on a spell and your concentration is interrupted for more than one minute, the extraplanar entity will return. ..
Twinned Spell or Heightened Spell can be incredibly helpful in getting rid of two enemies at the same time, or trying to banish an enemy that could have a high Charisma score.
9. Mirror Image
Sorcerers have few 2nd-level spells, but this one is a key one. ..
Mirror Image creates three copies of you in the same space. ..
Each time you’re attacked, roll a d20 to see if one of your copies is attacked instead of you. Not to mention, each copy has AC that needs to be bypassed as well.
Mirror Image is a spell that allows the caster to see their own image in a mirror. This makes it difficult for enemies to see what is happening around them, and can even be used as a defensive spell.
This is a powerful ability that can be used to take out enemies with low amounts of attacks per round.
8. Haste
Haste is a spell that can be used offensively to quickly move around the battlefield, Defensively to protect yourself from incoming attacks, and Utilityily to gain an advantage in battle.
Haste is an excellent spell because it increases your target’s AC, gives them an advantage for Dexterity saving throws, and grants them an extra weapon attack or movement.
The sword is a powerful weapon that can be used with Twinned Spell, which means almost certain death to anything within weapon range of your party’s fighter. ..
It is important to maintain focus while studying for exams. ..
A definite mainstay for any martial-minded party, the martial arts are a great way to add excitement and excitement to your adventure.
7. Counterspell
If you want to interrupt a target’s spell, you must use Counterspell within 60 feet of the caster.
Counterspell is a powerful spell that can be used to shut down enemy spellcasters. If used correctly, it can save your party from being wiped out.
Sorcerers have a Counterspell that can’t be Counterspelled if they use the Meta Magic Subtle Spell. This lets them bypass the verbal and somatic components of it. It’s very handy.
6. Hold Person/Hold Monster
This spell causes paralysis which guarantees critical hits on a target.
This spell lets your ally Rogue or Paladin quickly take down priority targets. Being able to Twinned Spell Hold Person can be very important in a fight. ..
As targets make their next turn, they must make a save or be affected by the effects of the following spell. If they fail, they are knocked unconscious for 1d4 rounds.
Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to start using them in fights. First, take Shadow Origin and use it to access Shadow of Ill Omen. This will give you access to all of the abilities in that game, making your fights much more difficult. Next, use Fire bolt to quickly kill any enemies in your way.
5. Disintegrate
Disintegrate is a powerful spell that can easily take down enemies. It can be used to take out single targets quickly, or to deal significant damage to a large group of enemies.
This spell packs a walloping 10d6 + 40 force damage when it’s first available to you. It is perfect for taking down low Dexterity enemies with a large health pool.
Disintegrate can be a powerful card against creatures with legendary resistances, but it’s especially worth getting if you’re using it at higher spell slots or with Twinned Spell.
Disintegrate the tears down Wall of Force and use them to demolish structures.
If your party is in a deep labyrinth with no teleportation spells and needs to escape, it can become useful to use a map. ..
4. Polymorph
Polymorph is a spell that allows you to change your form. It’s one of my favorite spells because it can be used to take on different shapes.
The versatility of the spell is unmatched, allowing an opponent to be taken out of the fight entirely or keeping an ally from dying by giving them a ton of health and a new beast form. ..
This spell can incapacitate enemies, turn your allies into powerful beasts, or turn your allies into animals that you might deem useful for a situation.
Twinned Spell can be used with Polymorph to amplify its usefulness.
In case your DM says “You don’t know what a T-Rex is!”, just buy a book about dinosaurs early to get it over with.
3. Sun Burst
Sun Burst is a fireball-style shooter that is just as addicting. ..
Sun Burst is a spell that has three times the radius of Fireball, and if the target fails a Constitution saving throw, they are blinded. ..
If you use the target’s Constitution as your modifier for ranged attacks, then they will have a harder time hitting allies who are of a lower Constitution. ..
Sun Burst is a powerful spell that combines control and damage, making it ideal for a Sorcerer. ..
2. Meteor Swarm
The most powerful Area of Effect damage spell in the game.
At 40d6, you’ll be able to level entire buildings with a 40 feet radius from a mile away.
Meteor Swarm is a game that allows you to control the fate of entire cities by launching powerful meteors at them. If you’re lucky, your party will deem the option an option and your city will be saved. If you’re not so lucky, your city will be destroyed and all of your data will be lost.
Wish is a powerful spell that can easily destroy creatures and objects. While this spell is excellent for raw damage output, it still pales in comparison to flaming rocks.
1. Wish
Wish is a powerful spell that can be easily used by any sorcerer.
The spell is called “9th Level Spell” and it can be used without any risks. It can be used to cast a spell that is at the 9th level.
If you’re using it to cast a spell that is 8th level or below, create nonmagical objects, or buff your allies, then it should not be a problem. Those are clear in the spell’s parameters.
When you exercise the option to wish for anything else, you open yourself up to potential problems.
Wish manipulates reality in favor of the caster, which is already a potential Pandora’s Box.
I would suggest keeping to the parameters of the Wish, but if you’re willing to gamble, word your wish very carefully for your DM.
