Gaining and Exchanging Sorcery Points

Unlike many other resources in the game, there are no items that directly recover Sorcery Points. However, sorcerers have the ability to transform a Spell Slot of any level into Sorcery Points freely using  Create Sorcery Points. The amount recovered is equal to the level of the Spell Slot used.

Sorcery Points can also be turned into Spell Slots using  Create Spell Slot, but the Sorcery Point cost is higher than the gained Spell Slot's level. The costs are defined by the following table. Spell Slots above level 5 cannot be created.
