Since the split, Eclipseclan has taken up the clan traditions and use the warrior code.

Spellcasting[edit]
At 1st level, your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the Sorcerer spell list.
- Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a Arcane Orb containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn additional sorcerer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Eclipse Cat table.
- Arcane Orb
At 1st level, you have a Arcane Orb containing six 1st-level sorcerer spells of your choice. Your Arcane Orb is the repository of the sorcerer spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.
The spells that you add to your Arcane Orb as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil sorcerer's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
- Copying a Spell into the Ord.
When you find a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your Arcane Orb if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
Copying a spell into your Arcane Orb involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the sorcerer who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your Arcane Orb using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
- Bonded Orb
As an action, you can create or destroy your Arcane Orb. Destruction of your orb does not loose the spells stored inside it. When left alone, your Arcane Orb floats and follow you around.
- The Orb's Appearance
Your Arcane Orb is a unique compilation of spells created from advanced alchemy. It may be a stone ball with arcane runes. Or it can be a red ball. It can be a clear marble. There is so many ways to create and decorate your Arcane Orb.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The sorcerer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
You prepare the list of sorcerer spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of sorcerer spells from your Arcane Orb equal to your Intelligence modifier + your sorcerer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level no greater than Eclipse Cat levels / 4 (rounded up).
For example, if you're a 3rd-level sorcerer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your Arcane Orb. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Charm Person, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of sorcerer spells requires time spent studying your Arcane Orb and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
- Ritual Casting
You can cast a sorcerer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your Arcane Orb. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an Arcane Orb as a spellcasting focus for your sorcerer spells.
- Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a sorcerer level, you can add two sorcerer spells of your choice to your Arcane Orb. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the sorcerer table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your Arcane Orb.
Magic Protection[edit]
At 1st level, you learn some basic protection against magic. When you are targeted by a magic spell, you can use your reaction to add +1d4 AC or to your saving throw against this spell. When you use this reaction, you cannot use metamagic on your next turn.
Arcane Protection[edit]
Beginning at 1st level, you learn to create your own armor from magic. You can cast mage armor at will.
Font of Magic[edit]
At the 2nd level, you tap into a deep wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is represented by sorcery points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.

At the 3rd level, you learn advanced spells much sooner than normal. Choose up to your proficiency modifier of spells from the sorcerer, warlock, and wizard spell list. They must be equal or lower level than Eclipse Cat level /2 (rounded up). You learn those spells as sorcerer spells and do not count towards the number of learned spells. These spells are memorized and not recorded in your Arcane Orb
