WoTC has to know that there are a lot of people who want it, and who have homebrewed it, so they add in the domain list on the playtest, so those people see a direction from the sorcerer, but then take it away in the official content because of "balance"A pointless exercise in some ways, but it would at least make some sense as to why they keep doing it.  When I made bonus lists for all of them, I gave the Wild SorcererChaos Bolt, Silent ImageEnhance Ability, Mirror ImageNondetection, BlinkPolymorph, ConfusionSeeming, Modify MemoryI think I was going with a theme of raw magic and pulling in pieces of other realities. Like, Silent Image is them pulling in a potential reality and making it just real enough to see. But, I don't remember the exact thought process that went into the list.One other thing I found while overhauling the Sorcerer (I haven't had a chance to test the new class yet, and I know it is probably a little overpowered, but it has some real fun in it now) is that a few people have published a bunch of extra metamagics, and on top of making more metamagic options available (a total of 8 I think by level 17) I added them in. For example, Chilled Spell: When casting a spell that does cold or necrotic damage, you may spend sorcery points. If the spell targets one or two creatures, spend 2 points, if it targets more than two creatures, spend 4 points. Targets that fail the save of the spell are restrained until the end of your next turn. If the spell did not have a save, then the targets must make a constitution saving throw, becoming restrained on a failed save. I love these sort of things, because they finally do the thing everyone says Metamagic does. It allows a sorcerer to take a spell that have one use, and use it in a new way to get more out of it. Cone of Cold now isn't just a damage spell, it can restrain a large number of creatures as well. Have one for Fire, Radiant and Lighting that blinds. Thunder and Bludgeoning that knocks prone. And Poison spells impart the poisoned condition for 1 minute (save at the end of every turn)</blockquote>
