Storm Sorcerers are amazing damage dealers, harnessing the power of the storm to buff their Lightning and Thunder spells in battle. Unlike other Sorcerer subclasses, Storm Sorcerers get their own set of spells at Level 6, buffing an already considerable arsenal with spells that allow them to clear entire rooms of enemies in one fell swoop.
How to Unlock the Storm Sorcery Subclass
Available When Creating a Sorcerer
The Storm Sorcery subclass will become available once you start creating a Sorcerer at the Character Creation screen. Unlike most classes, Sorcerers are one of the few that get to pick out their subclass before they start the game.

Temepstuous Magic
Level 1 Storm Sorcerers will start off with the Tempestuous Magic passive. When active, this allows you to gain Fly as a bonus action after you cast a Level 1 spell or higher. While flying, you cannot receive Opportunity Attacks.
Heart of the Storm
At Level 6 your Storm Sorcerer unlocks the Heart of the Storm reactions. After you cast a level 1 or higher spell that deals Lightning or Thunder damage, you can use a reaction to conjure a small local storm. This small storm will target enemies within a 6m radius, dealing 3 Lightning or 3 Thunder damage to them on hit.
Heart of the Storm: Resistance
At Level 6 you will also receive the Heart of the Storm: Resistance passive. Once unlocked, your Sorcerer becomes Resistant to both Lightning and Thunder damage, only taking half damage when receiving attacks charged with either of these elements.
Storm Sorcery Spells
Aside from reactions and resistances, Storm Sorcerers will finally unlock Storm Sorcery Spells at Level 6. This adds the following spells to your Sorcerer spell list, allowing you to cast them without having to learn them in the level up screen.
- Call Lightning
- Sleet Storm
- Gust of Wind
- Create or Destroy Water
- Thunderwave
Storm's Fury
At Level 11 you gain the Storm's Fury reaction. Once per turn, you can react to a melee attack aimed your way, dealing 11 Lightning damage against your attack with a chance to push them back.
