Class Information
Curses, bargains, broomsticks and a familiar with claws.
Witches are the most folklore-rich caster path: hexes, wards, blood price, familiars, flying and small cruel workings. They are magical, but not clean or academic.
Choose Witch if you like systems with personality: a cat at your heels, a broomstick above the map, and magic that feels personal rather than scholarly.

Core class commands parsed from the live class command files. SP physical abilities spend stamina; MP magical/healing abilities spend magic.
| Ability | Lvl | Type | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athame | 1 | SP physical | A ritual knife-strike guided by whispered intent rather than brute force. |
| Candleward | 1 | MP magical | Light a warding candle and wrap yourself in a small hedge-hex of protection. |
| Bloodprice | 3 | MP magical | Buy back a measure of your own strength through a draining little sacrifice. |
| Familiar | 3 | MP magical | Summon a witch's black cat familiar to follow you and help in combat. |
| Evileye | 4 | MP magical | Lay the evil eye on a foe, stinging them with bad luck and a spiteful little curse. |
| Greenbalm | 4 | MP healing | Work a green witch's balm over yourself or another living creature, closing wounds with hedge-lore rather than holy grace. It is gentler than a cleric's true healing prayers. |
| Blackpin | 5 | MP magical | A binding hex: drive a black pin through a foe's luck and leave them momentarily fixed in place. |
| Broomstick | 5 | MP magical | Conjure a witch's broomstick and fly toward a player, monster, or mapped place. Flight drains magic every coordinate and ends wherever your power runs out. |
| Sableveil | 6 | MP magical | Draw a sable veil about yourself: half glamour, half omission, sharpening wit and concealment. |
| Gravechill | 7 | MP magical | Call up the cold of the grave to numb a foe with pain and stiffness. |
| Witchlight | 8 | MP magical | Kindle a wandering witchlight to follow you, bringing eerie light and a little protective glamour. |
| Covenant | 9 | MP magical | Seal yourself into a brief covenant with the old powers, deepening presence, will and witchcraft at a cost of stillness. |
| Souljar | 10 | MP magical | Rake the last warmth from a corpse and trap it as soul-embers that can be consumed for stolen strength. |
