Whether crackling with the energy of ancient deluges or pierced by gales and hurricanes, your lineage is a strange tapestry scrawled by a tempest.

Storm Sorcery is one of the Subclasses of Sorcerer. They are extremely mobile, being able to fly after each spell they cast, making it safer for them to wade into melee. As they grow in power they can make their spells generate small damaging storms, become resistant to Lightning or Thunder damage and even punish enemies brave enough to attack them by shocking and pushing them far away.
