Blackstorm bloodline

The ribbons and spheres of magical energy that exist in
the Blackstorm are unseen by most, but not you. Sorcerers
born with the ability to not only discern these energies but
also harness their power to twist reality are exceedingly
rare, and your abilities are often misunderstood by your
fellow spellcasters. The Blackstorm holds many mysteries,
but your innate understanding of the magical ribbons
and spheres that stretch and drift within the tapestry of
reality grant you the ability to perform magics that defy
explanation. However, without needing to be told, you know
that for every manipulation of great power, there are often
unseen consequences.

Blackstorm Magic

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Blackstorm Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Sorcerer Level Spells
1st detect magic, sanctuary
3rd invisibility, magic weapon
5th blink, counterspell
7th banishment, black tentacles
9th creation, wall of force

Sphere Empowerment

Starting at 1st level, your ability to tap into the magical spheres that permeate the realms provides you with a chance to harness them to protect yourself, or to turn the tides on your foes. As a bonus action, you can pull a sphere from the aether and evoke one of the following two effects:
• Increase your Armor Class by 2 for 10 minutes. Beginning at level 2 , you can expend 1 Sorcery Point to increase the bonus to your AC by 1 (maximum +3 total AC bonus).
• When you cast a 1st level or higher spell that does damage, you can empower it. Choose one of the targets damaged by your spell, that target takes an additional 1d4 force damage per level of the spell cast.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Blackstorm Field Attunement

Starting at 1st level, you are attuned to the cosmic forces around you. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don’t already have it. Whenever you make an Intelligence check related to the Blackstorm, you can add twice your proficiency bonus, instead of any proficiency bonus you normally apply. Beginning at 2nd level, whenever you spend at least 1
Sorcery Point, you must roll on the Blackstorm Field Effects chart, below.

Ribbon Weaver

Starting at 6th level, you learn to reach out and take hold of the magical ribbons that flow and twist unseen through your immediate surroundings. By twisting, pulling, and even temporarily tying these ribbons, you may perform incredible feats of magic that strengthen or deplete the magical energy around you, your allies, or even your enemies. You can choose to use one of the
following once per long rest.
Ribbon of Surety. The magic of the Blackstorm bolsters one ally’s next attack. As a reaction, when an ally you can see within 60 feet hits a creature with an attack, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to increase the damage. For every Sorcery Point you spend, the attack does an additional 1d6 force damage.
Ribbon of Lassitude. You manipulate the ribbons of the Blackstorm to drain the magical energy of a spell. When you take damage from a spell, as a reaction you reduce that damage by 1d6 per Sorcery Point spent.
Ribbon of Echoes. As a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you casts a spell that targets yourself or a single creature, you can spend 3 sorcery points to twist and contort the ribbons of the Blackstorm to echo the effects of one spell back onto its caster instead of the original target. Use the original caster’s Spell Attack modifier or Spell Save DC for any attack or saving throws that need to be made. If the spell has an area of effect, the reflected spell’s target is centered on the original caster.

Blackstorm Manipulator

Beginning at 14th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage you can choose to increase its potency, dealing maximum damage with that spell. Should the spell deal sequential damage, only the initial damage may be maxed. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest, unless you spend 8 Sorcery Points. In addition, whenever you roll a natural 20 (without modifiers) on any spell for which you make a spell attack roll against an enemy target, you tap into the font of the Blackstorm and regain 1 spent Sorcery Point.

Blackstorm Traveler

At 18th level, you gain the ability to fuse your own magical energies with those of the ribbons around you to shorten the distances between spaces on the material plane to cross short and great distances. Once per short rest, you may to teleport up to 120 feet away to an unoccupied space that you can see as a bonus action. In addition, you can bring your allies with you - at a cost. For each Sorcery point you spend, one ally you can see within 20 feet of you may move with you to an empty space within 20 feet of your destination. Bending the energies of the Blackstorm also allows you to travel great distances, even crossing from one realm to
another, but not between the planes. As an Action, you may travel to any location you are familiar with on any realm. For every Sorcery Point spent, you can bring one ally with you. Once you use this feature you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest. You use this ability to travel to locations known as Sanctuaries— pockets of space among the Blackstorm maintained by sorcerers as a space of safety and neutrality. You and your allies can stay in a Sanctuary as long as you choose. However, no combat is allowed within a Sanctuary; any violations will lead to permanent expulsion from that single Sanctuary location.
