So Sorcery is supposed to all be about your bloodline, right?

Then here's an idea to consider:

First of all, make the sorcerous bloodline abilities into class feats with appropriate prereqs and give the sorcerer a class feat at each relevant level, so that they aren't actually the most locked in class.

Second, allow all Sorcerers to take any Bloodline class feat as an Ancestry feat! It would allow for a sorcerer to focus on his otherworldly heritage at the expense of his "demihumanity".

So Ancient's Blood is really cool, but the drawback is very harsh - especially given that you definitionally took a -2 to Charisma already!
Add in that it requires a reaction to get the +2 on the save and the drawbacks very much outweigh the benefits. I propose a slightly different take on it - instead of -2 Resonance, you increase the DC of the flat check for overspending Resonance by 3 (so you effectively have a DC 13+overspent points, instead of 10+overspent points). This still acts as a penalty to magic, but in a much more manageable way.
