A Favored Soul Sorcerer could appear to be wrapped in celestial wings. Your Wizard could disappear in a flash of orange light reminiscent of a Fireball. If you don’t like that effect, you can even chat with your DM and change surrounded by silvery mist into something that fits your unique character.
