I'm of the opinion the DM who wants to use sorcerers should re-write the spell list for each individual sorcerous origin.  So not just add spells, but completely change the entire list.  It does no thematic good for a Shadow Sorcerer to constantly be throwing fireballs for instance.  It also allows you do give them spells normally found on other lists-- so the Blue Dragon sorcerer can have Call Lightning for example.  In my last Eberron game I had a player who was an aberrant dragonmark sorcerer whose was about time magic, and I re-did their spell list to only give them time-based spells or spells whose effects could be re-flavored illustrated as being time related (so for instance Ray of Frost was renamed Ray of Dilation.)Giving back sorcery points on a short rest or just increasing total spell points is something others have done and seems to be okay so long as you don't go crazy with it.I personally would not do some of those UA abilities, because they don't make thematic sense to me.  Why should sorcerers have advantage using all their skills?  If they can't use all magic and are restricted, it makes no sense there is no restriction on which skills they can use their magic to boost.  At the most if I thought sorcerers needed skill boosts I'd let them choose one skill they could boost with sorcery points for Advantage.Making weapons magical is not unbalanced per se... but it impinges on other classes who already do the same thing.  It makes sense for Forge Clerics to have this ability... not so much for ALL sorcerers to.  At the most here I'd just put the Magic Weapon spell on their spell list if I thought they needed it.Simple Weapon proficiency is fine.  Most players probably wouldn't ever use one, but there are some traditional sorcerer players who think they should have the use of spears, and I don't see any issues with it.And as far as components... sorcerers already have subtle spell available to them.  If I thought components were an issue, I'd just give sorcerers the subtle spell metamagic to them all for free.</blockquote>
