Suggestions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Empowered Spell: Consider rewriting this ability as follows: "When you cast a cantrip that deals damage, add your Cha modifier to each die of damage." As long as nobody creates a cantrip that deals 2d4 base damage or something, this is mechanically equivalent and a lot easier to read.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Twinned Spell: It's not clear exactly how this works, because you specify "one or more" targets, but then the rest of the ability is written as if it were limited to one. Why not just say: "When you cast a cantrip, you may spend 1 sorcery point to duplicate the effect. You can't target the same creature, object, or area with both effects."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Arcane Eruption: Okay, first off, the name really needs to be changed. That aside... I'm not a huge fan of just piling on more damage. What about merging this with Font of Magic, and removing the "no attack cantrips" restriction? Arcane Exaltation: On your turn, when you cast a spell, you can enter a state of heightened magical power. You can cast a cantrip as a bonus action on each of your turns. This effect ends after 1 minute, or if you end your turn without casting a spell.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some of the metamagic seems like you're trying to shoehorn leveled spell effects into your all-cantrips-all-the-time class. Grasping Spell, for example, basically overwrites the original spell with a kind of Bigby's hand. I prefer your approach with the Arcane Arts like Awakened Mage Hand: Abilities that heighten the impact of specific cantrips. What if those were metamagic effects? So you spend 1 sorcery point when casting mage hand, and it can physically move a creature, or knock it prone, or something like that. That allows you to add potent magical effects that are also tailored to the sorcerer's cantrip picks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Seconding the others who think two full-fledged subclasses is too many. Also, too many options in general.</li> </ul></blockquote>
