Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 6910128" data-attributes="member: 996">Cool.  Casting two different spells at once (instead of twinning) might be a way to evoke that.  Maybe the capstone could be some kind of rule-breaking extension of the usual metamagic (EPIC Meta-Maaagic...).  Not just twin, but cast two different spells, being only one possibility?Edit: Brainstorming on the idea for each type of metamagic:Careful:  The chosen creatures are completely unaffected by the spell.Distant:  The range becomes LoSEmpowered:  The dice are maximized.Extend:  You can make a spell permanent - until you regain the sorcery point used extend it.Heightened:  Auto failure instead of disadvantage.Quickened:  When you cast a Quickened spell, you can use your action to cast any spell of lower level that has a casting time of one action, rather than only a cantrip.  Twinned:  You can cast two different spells, the sp cost is the  level of the higher spell.  You can make yourself the target of both spells, if desired.  If both spells require concentration, you can maintain them both as if they were a single spell.Yeah, capstones aren't a big deal for establishing concept since they come so late.  Tickling out unusual spell choices should be more foundational.   Maybe some fraction of spells being allowed from other lists?  Like, you can pick a first level spell from another list as known spells after you know at least two 1st level and one 2nd level Sorcerer spell that fit the same 'theme' (DM judgement required).  Could be part of Instinctual Magic - which could be softened to 'using only one component of your choice' rather than no components, to avoid stepping on sensitive psoinic toes, as well?Also pretty major, but, at 18th, nothing to be too worried about on balance/playability concerns. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   Capstones are more there to look cool, anyway.</blockquote>
