1. Amulet of the Planes

• Type: Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)

2. Robe of the Archmagi

• Type: Wondrous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement by a Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard)
• Benefit: Increases the sorcerer’s AC and provides advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects. Also, boosts spell save DCs and attack rolls, making it one of the best defensive and offensive items for any spellcaster.

3. Wand of Fireballs

• Type: Wand, Rare (Requires Attunement)
• Benefit: Contains charges to cast fireball, a staple damage-dealing spell. Even if a sorcerer already knows this spell, the wand allows them to conserve their precious spell slots.

4. Pearl of Power

5. Metamagic Rods (e.g., Rod of the Pact Keeper)
