Sorcerer: Adamant Soul

Glinting like stars in the dark caverns below, few things inspire awe like the crystalline forms of diamonds. Beauty and durability melded into one unyielding form, refracting and intensifying light into a magical kaleidoscope. One could only hope to emulate such enduring majesty.

Whether by earthen ancestry or intense magical pressure, your soul has been hardened like a pure adamant gem, granting your mind and body supernatural resilience. Magic flows through your body like light through a prism, mutable to your every whim. Be an impenetrable shield, a vibrant beacon of magical might, and even bestow a fraction of your eternal splendor to your allies. Shine brilliantly through every battle ahead.

Adamant Spells

1st level Adamant Soul feature

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

• Level 1: Shield, Guiding Bolt

• Level 3: Aid, Lesser Restoration

• Level 5: Dispel Magic, Intellect Fortress

• Level 7: Elemental Bane, Stoneskin

• Level 9: Circle of Power, Greater Restoration

Additionally at 2nd level, you gain the Transmuted Spell metamagic option, which doesn’t count towards your total metamagic options gained. In addition, you can choose Radiant damage as a damage type for your Transmuted Spell.

Adamant Form

1st level Adamant Soul feature

You can crystallize your body and mind to become as unchangeable as diamond. As a Bonus Action, you can transform your body into living diamond for 1 minute, gaining the following benefits of for the duration:

• Your Armor Class equals 10 plus your Constitution and Charisma modifiers unless it would be higher.

• You have advantage on Constitution checks to maintain concentration.

• You add your Charisma Bonus to any Saving Throw for any effect that would alter, or is currently altering, your physical form or your mind.

You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a Long Rest.

[When using the 5e 2024 rules, you instead gain these benefits for the duration of your Innate Sorcery feature]

Refract Energy

6th level Adamant Soul feature

Your crystalline form can be used to absorb and refract magical energy, redirecting it and even altering its state. When you take damage while in your Adamant Form of a type you can choose for your Transmuted Spell, you can use your reaction to gain resistance to one type of the triggering damage until the end of your next turn. 

If you do, you may immediately make a ranged spell attack against any creature you can see within 60 feet of you. On a hit, they take the same amount of damage you took of the chosen type. You may change the damage type dealt using your Transmuted Spell metamagic as though it were a spell you cast.

Diamond Chrysalis

14th level Adamant Soul feature

You can envelop yourself in a shell of diamond to protect and regenerate your body. You can use an action to encase yourself in a diamond chrysalis until the start of your next turn. While in your chrysalis, you are petrified and immune to all damage. If a creature targets you or your space with a damaging spell that would affect only you, you can choose a new target for the spell within the spell’s range. You can change the damage of the spell using your Transmuted Spell metamagic as though you cast the spell.

When you emerge, you gain the benefits of a short rest and take on your Adamant Form for its normal duration. You can spend hit dice to regain hit points as though you finished a short rest. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest unless you spend 4 sorcery points.

[When using the 5e 2024 rules, you instead use your Innate Sorcery feature for free after emerging from your Chrysalis]

Unbreakable

18th level Adamant Soul feature

You become as unbreakable as your adamant soul. Whenever you would fail a saving throw, you can spend 3 sorcery points to succeed instead. While in your Adamant Form, the cost is reduced to 2 sorcery points.
