'''Wild Magic''' is one of the [[Sorcerer#Subclass|Subclasses]] of [[Sorcerer]]. These Sorcerers are capable of using the chaos of their magic to unleash various unexpected effects that can be helpful or chaotic. They also have the ability to gain [[Advantage]] on rolls, in exchange for their magic becoming more erratic and surging more often.
