Actually, I made a mistake before. This is actually the second dnd character I ever created, my goliath wild magic barbarian, Theron (he/him, trans man). I made him when I joined a second campaign barely 2-3 months after joining my first one ever, lol.

Is This Anything?
An explosion at the local Magic Factory rains glittering dust across a nearby town. Anyone who breathes it in is subject to something like Wild Magic -- unpredictable, uncontrollable, occasionally wonderful, occasionally catastrophic.
(What's a Magic Factory? I'm not entirely sure. Maybe ley lines are like oil -- something you can drill for, pump, refine, and ship in barrels. Maybe somebody built an industry around that. Maybe that was always going to end badly.)
The town isn't destroyed. It's just... complicated now. And somebody has to sort it out.

Meet Azrael Pyroxis (Doctor Fireworks):
Born under a blood-red moon in a city cloaked in shadows, Azrael Pyroxis grew up marked by the unmistakable signs of their infernal heritage, curling horns, a flicker of flame in their eyes, and a restless spark that refused to be tamed. From a young age, Azrael was mesmerized by fire’s dual nature: its beauty, its brutality, and its boundless potential to create and destroy.
Shunned by many for their Tiefling blood, Azrael found solace not in hiding but in mastering. They dedicated themselves to the arcane sciences, trained under the most eccentric artificers who admired their obsession with blending magic and mechanics. Azrael became a virtuoso of explosive devices and magical tinkering, their workshop a chaotic symphony of gleaming gears, volatile powders, and cascading sparks.
Adopting the persona “Doctor Fireworks,” Azrael mixes meticulous scientific craft with wild, unpredictable magic inherited from a deep, arcane wellspring. Their creations don’t just explode, they dazzle, mesmerize, and transform the battlefield into a spectacle of light and color. To the Doctor, every blast is a celebration of chaos and precision intertwined.
Though their genius is undeniable, the tenuous grip on their own wild magic invites relentless danger. Colleagues admire and fear the unpredictability beneath the Doctor's controlled exterior, while enemies seek to capture or silence the Doctor’s volatile brilliance.
Doctor Fireworks is driven by a singular passion... not merely to wield fire, but to unravel the secrets of chaos itself, proving that even wild magic and explosive science can be harnessed into a brilliant, breathtaking art.

Doctor Fireworks is a Tiefling Artificer (Artillerist) & Sorcerer (Wild Magic), allowing them not only the "mad scientist" persona, but also the "chaotic pyrotechnic mage".
As an Artillerist Artificer, the Doctor specializes in crafting and wielding magical cannons and explosive devices, delivering devastating and colorful arcane blasts. This is the scientific backbone of Doctor Fireworks’s explosive style.
As a Wild Magic Sorcerer, the Doctor channels unpredictable, surging magic that manifests as dazzling pyrotechnic displays, bringing chaotic energy to their arsenal, sometimes sparking uncontrollable bursts that dazzle foes or change the tide of battle unexpectedly.

I wrote a lengthy piece of work on using antimagic, low level magic zones and wild magic to help take your game to higher levels without feeling "cheap".

i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAINWHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’
WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’
WHY IS THIS WORKING
I HATE YOU SO MUCH
Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun
“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”
“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”
“You know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”
“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

Question for #DnDBeyond users who’ve played #WildMagic #sorcerer characters: If you check tides of chaos, does it automatically roll the advantage for you, or do you still have to do the advantage by hand?

Gonna start #BG3 on my #owncast ( not #twitch ) in about an hour. Looking to play a #Drow #Sorc #WildMagic character. Looking to do like chaotic good #persuasion #deception kind of build. We'll see how it goes. Come hang out, #backseat, have fun, etc.

Within the literature that inspires Dungeons & Dragons we see many tales of those born to magic. Some of these peoples are untrained, their magic barely controlled. In 5th edition D&D these are represented by Wild Magic Sorcerers. Not all fit the narrative around Sorcerers, because they are more than just an in-born mage. They have hints of spellcasting, but because it is born rather than learned control is not there.
Yes, multiclassing can solve this. So can a Feat.
The desire with Born to be Wild is to capture the feeling of those who have a tiny bit of innate magic in their bodies, but no control. Their magic sparks bizarre occurrences that range from helpful to destructive. Maybe they get trained someday. Maybe they are a warrior who can heal an ally, or a thief that can blast with missiles of power. Whoever they are, they struggle with innate powers and the impact of casting.

- Choose a cantrip from the following list: Prestidigitation, Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft. [This represents that you have innate minor powers]
- Choose any 1st level spell. You may now cast this spell once per short rest, but when you do you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table of the Wild Magic Sorcerer. This spell may be added to your spell list, but whenever cast does cause a surge. [There is a temptation to have the player roll on the table twice and let them choose the better effect.]
- Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Constitution. [This is to represent that the magic courses through your body.]
Design notes
The intent here is to be similar in power to Magic Initiate, but to embrace the chaos of the Wild Magic Sorcerer. Dropping one cantrip and upping the usage of the spell is similar to the Artificer Initiate. Adding Metamagic would give the holder of the Feat control, which is in opposition to the intent.
