[Sorcerer Features]

Can cast spells from memory.
Starts with at least one spell in memory, gains an additional one at each new level.
Each memorized spell may be cast up to once per day.
Can conduct magical research.
Known arcane spells

To cast a spell, make a skilled CHA or INT check reduced by the level of the spell being attempted.

On a fumble, a blunder may occur, and the next attempt to cast a spell (before a long rest) gets -2.
On a failure, the spell fizzles, and nothing else happens (it doesn't count towards spells per day limit).
On a complicated success, the spell is cast, but something interesting (although not directly dangerous) may happen.
On a complete success, the spell is cast as desired.
On a critical success, the spell is cast in a notable manner as determined by GM (ex: double duration, range, or targets), and the next attempt to cast a spell (before a long rest) gets +2.

Arcane Lore: Can make a skilled INT check to recall information about arcane magic or recognize a spell or magic item.
Prestidigitation: Can use a combat action to make a skilled INT check to create a small, instant, illusory effect that inflicts no damage.
Ritual Casting: Some rituals require a skilled check.
Advanced Skills: After reaching level 5, may add skills modifier to appropriate non-skilled checks.
