I am relatively new to the game. Still, from the criticism of more experienced players over the flavor issues on the sorcerer class, i tried to take a shot at this thing. Im not sure if it might work at all and all material provided is subject to criticism and advice to serve as guidelines for future modifications

Elemental spell
Whenever you cast an elemental spell of certain type, you may spend 3 sorcerous point to change the damage type of the spell to a primal element of your choice, like fire, acid, lighting, or cold damage. Additionally, you may spend one extra sorcerous point to change the damage type of the spell to an esoteric type, like force, necrotic, poison, psychic, or radiant
Guided spell
Whenever you cast a ranged spell on a creature 10 feet from you or above covered in half or three quarter’s cover, you may spend 2 sorcerous point to ignore half or three quarters cover applied to that creature.

Spell Bender
At 5th level, you assimilate the power you wield and see it as a physical extension of yourself, granting you the control of the intensity and properties of your spells. You can roll a general d20 to determine the expense of this control, if you succeed, you may cast a spell with a lesser spell property at the cost of the spell level equivalent amount of sorcerous point detailed in Flexible Casting (pg 101, Player’s Handbook 5e) minus two. If you fail the roll, you spend the full price of sorcerous points on the lesser spell or spend a full spell slot on it. You can’t apply a lesser spell property on any 6th level spell or above, and you can attempt this only twice until you finish a short or long rest.
Each lesser spell is less effective than it’s equivalent normal spell properties or effects. However, you trade the unexpended power for manipulation of it’s specific properties, and, therefore, every lesser spell has a Manipulation Surge that grants flexibility on the weakened spell
This ability tries to flavor the sorcerer's spell casting with the cantrip casting flexibility
