For example, the Draconic Sorcerer gets the magic from a dragon by choice, intentionally. But sometimes an ancestor made the choice.From the Players Handbook, the Sorcerer is imbued with the bodily magical nature, artificially."The most important question to consider when creating your Sorcerer, is the origin of your power. ... Did some extraordinary event leave you blessed with inherent magic?"So, it might me Nightcrawler born like that, or it might be like Spiderman bitten by a radioactive spider.The Draconic Bloodline is "draconic magic that is mingled with your blood OR that of your ancestors". You might be born with it. But you can also ask a dragon to infuse your blood with its magic. This is when a Warlock pact and a Sorcerer bloodline become the same thing. Maybe your ancestor "made a bargain with a dragon" with the magical infusion being "the result of a pact". A Pact!Likewise the Wild Magic never uses the term "bloodline". This magic infuses the character artificially too. "You might have endured exposure ... to raw magic. ... Perhaps you were blessed by a ... fey ... or marked by a demon." A Pact! Or else the magical infusion is a one-time random and inexplicable event.In 5e, the Sorcerer magic is artificial, and is normally the result of choosing the transformation, as part of a pact. But 5e notes it might be an ancestor who made this choice during a pact with a dragon.You can decide a unique origin for your Sorcerer character. But the idea is the body has been magically transformed.</blockquote>
