Arcane Savant
You are deeply familiar with a particular spell, allowing you to cast it more effectively.
Prerequisite: 5th level Sorcerer or Wizard
Benefit: Choose one spell you know or can prepare that has an At Higher Levels feature. When you cast that spell, it is treated as if it were cast using a slot one level higher.
The spell's level can be at most one level lower than the highest-level spell you can cast with spell slots. Whenever you gain a new level, you can select a new spell to benefit with this feat.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Second Sight
Your magical senses have grown so sharp that the presence of arcane forces is second nature to you.
Prerequisite: 1st level Sorcerer
Benefits:

-
While detect magic is active, you have advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) checks to sense the presence, school, or general function of visible magical effects, glyphs, or magic items. This benefit does not reveal specific properties of magic items, and is no replacement for the identify spell.
