It doesn't mean it is the most typical or even common situation.At this point I wouldn't call sorcerers truly arcane, their magic isn't based on knowing secrets about the universe -like wizards, bards and warlocks- sorcerers are just magic without adjectives.Yes, and it turned out it wasn't enough in practice.Sorcerers can already do this in core.Was this stated by the designers or official material at any point? or is it wishful thinking by the community?It wasn't correctly balanced though. Sorcerers are underpowered as they currently are. Making the class more forgiving is a good thing.Because of course Clairvoyance is the gold standard in divination. As opposed to being able to ever function on a very limited set of circumstances? Long rest are still not free and at will you know. I'm not a fan of this new feature, but I'll take what I can take. I mean, it isn't as if it magically allows sorcerers to summon shadow ponies, create demiplanes or even have magical pets. Sorcerers are still severely limited by spells known and sorcery points. Loosening out one of their other restrictions is a bit fair. I don't think sorcerers will become overpowered overnight because of this small change. And of they become overpowered, would it really be a bad thing? They have never been overpowered in any edition ever, yet we are at this point were people keep throwing "sorcerers will be overpowered" as some sort of boogieman we all must fear, as if there was an edition where they were so broken that  every book was burned, every reference in the web was purposely taken down and everybody agreed to never speak of it again and pretend it never happened. I've yet to see a truly overpowered sorcerer, the closest we were to it was at the start of the edition when we were using elemental affinity wrong(as proven by the errata that clearly told us we were playing it wrong), and even then, it was ok, sorcerer was more or less ok with elemental affinity being played wrong. In all honesty, I'm tired of this boogieman, let us sorcerer players get nice things for a change.</blockquote>
