[RPG] Wild Magic Surge activation without using spell slots

class-featurednd-5esorcererspell-slotsspells

Wild Magic Surge (or Tides of Chaos) is activated when you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher.

With the feat Ritual Caster you can choose Sorcerer and cast sorcerer spells without using spell slots.

Is there another way to activate Wild Magic Surge without using resources (ignoring time)?

Best Answer

Use a Ring of Spell Storing

Since your premise removes time as a factor, you can expend spells from a ring of spell storing and (depending on how your DM rules such things) potentially trigger the Tides of Chaos when that spell is cast. (How confident are you on rolling that 1 on a 1d20?)

The spells are prepped (typically during down time) and then off you go on an adventure with a loaded ring.

Wild Magic Surge says (PHB p. 103)

... your spell casting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell ... the DM can have you roll a d20.

From the Ring of Spell Storing item description (SRD V_5.1, p. 237) :

While wearing this ring, you can cast any spell stored in it.
