Spellcasting
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
You must use a wand as a spellcasting focus for your spells. Your spell slot progression is the standard for full casters (22 slots at level 20).
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose two of the cantrips or spells you know and replace them with two new cantrips or spells, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spell Deflection
At 3rd level, when you are the target of a spell or included in the area of a spell, you can deflect the spell as a reaction. The spell must be on your list of known spells and you spend a number of sorcery points equal to twice that spell’s level.
Upon deflection, you automatically succeed on your saving throw against the spell and you can direct the spell’s effect to a creature within 10 feet of you, if desired. If the spell does not have a saving throw, it has no effect on you. If a creature was also targeted by the spell or included in the area of the spell, you cannot redirect the spell to that creature.
