How about some more acid for your games!
Acid Explosion
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of bull bile)
Duration: Instantaneous
A concentrated burst of acid flares to life covering everything in a 20-foor radius of a point in range. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 10d4 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, the acid eats through armor of creatures in range. Creatures not wearing magic armor that filed their save have their AC reduced by 2 until the damage is repaired. Those that saved only have their AC reduced by 1. Creatures wearing magic armor that fail the save have their AC reduced by 1, while those that save do not have their AC reduced at all.
The acid also causes damage to all objects in the area of effect, possibly destroying them.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 3rd.

Caustic Glob
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 50 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You create a glob of acid in your hand and throw it at a target in range. Make a ranged spell attack at a target. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, and if the target’s armor is not magical, the target’s armor takes a -1 penalty to AC. This penalty is not cumulative with itself or other magic spells. Additional spells that reduce the AC of a target apply the highest penalty to the target’s AC instead of the total penalty.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).

Let’s do a few spells. I have a few quick ideas that will go rapid fire!
Force Ball
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 50 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Through shear force of will, you conjure and throw a ball of pure energy at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 force damage. Insubstantial creatures or creatures with powers that avoid attacks such as displacement as a displacer beast suffer full damage and the attack does not suffers disadvantage.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Let’s get back to the giant archetypes with the Giant Bloodline for the DnD 5e Sorcerer.
Giants are brutish creatures that don’t always kill those they capture. Or some seek them out to live among them in the wilderness. In either case, some children emerge from unions that may occur in the wilderness. You are one of these children. Your magic power emerged early as your giant heritage began to take hold.
Giant blood flows through your veins making you tougher than most. At 1st level, increase your Constitution or Strength by 3, to a maximum of 20.
Starting at 6th level you become increasingly aggressive. When you cast a cantrip you may also make a strength-based melee or thrown weapon ranged attack as part of the same action.
At 14th level, your body continues to inherit more of your giant ancestral traits. You gain a +3 to Strength or Constitution, to a maximum of 20.
Beginning at 18th level, you grow into the giant you were always meant to be. Increase your size to one category larger and change all your hit dice to d12s and recalculate your hit points.
I was thinking shield save you form a strike, but what about a spell that saves you from a crit?
Strike Break
1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 reaction
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: instantaneous
An field of magic force stops a strike from decimating a target, but merely causes the target to be pummeled. When you cast this spell, a target in range is no longer subject to a critical hit, but is struck as normal with an attack or spell. This will only affect one strike even if the target is struck with multiple critical hits in a round.

I have lots of Druids in my games. Let’s give them something to drool over!
Fetish of the Beast
wonderours item, uncommon (+1), rare (+2), or very rare (+3)
This wooden idol is carved into the shape of a merged bear, eagle, and squid. It it covered in wrapped fur, scales, and a few feathers. When a creature changes shape while holding this object, the new shape of the creature gains a bonus on attack rolls equal to the bonus on the idol. This object has no effect on the default shape of the creature.
