spells. You regain all expended slots when you fin -
ish a Long Rest.
 Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list 
of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast 
with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Sor -
cerer spells. Burning Hands  and Detect Magic are 
recommended.
 The number of spells on your list increases as 
you gain Sorcerer levels, as shown in the Prepared 
Spells column of the Sorcerer Features table. When -
ever that number increases, choose additional 
Sorcerer spells until the number of spells on your 
list matches the number in the Sorcerer Features 
table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which 
you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 3 
Sorcerer, your list of prepared spells can include six 
Sorcerer spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
 If another Sorcerer feature gives you spells that 
you always have prepared, those spells don’t count 
against the number of spells you can prepare with 
this feature, but those spells otherwise count as 
Sorcerer spells for you.
 Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you 
gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one spell on 
your list with another Sorcerer spell for which you 
have spell slots.
 Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcast -
ing ability for your Sorcerer spells.
 Spellcasting Focus. You can use an Arcane Focus 
as a Spellcasting Focus for your Sorcerer spells.
