Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the witch spell list. You gain additional witch cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Witch table.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Witch table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your witch spells of 1st Level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of witch spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the witch spell list. When you do so, choose a number of witch spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your witch level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level witch, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level Spell Slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of witch spells requires time spent recalling the rituals and incantations for the spells: at least 1 minute per spell Level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your witch spells, as your power comes from your study of the dark arts. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a witch spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Coven Spells

Each coven has a list of spells -it's coven spells- that you gain at witch levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a Coven Spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a coven spell that does not appear on the witch spell list, the spell is nonetheless a witch spell for you.

Witch's Coven

Witches often band together in groups called covens, sharing information and magical secrets. The witches in these covens often specialize in a certain form of magic, such as summoning or augury. While joining one of these covens is the easiest way to learn these secrets, some witches prefer to keep to themselves, and instead learn the coven's secrets in other ways.

Coven of Spite

For many, the path of the witch is one of freedom. While many witches are stigmatized as dark magicians and demon summoners, most choose this path as a way to be free of the restrictions of other mages. However, a select few choose to become witches not to be free to study magic in any way they see fit, but as a way to cause pain and suffering. Witches of the Coven of Spite see the potential in magic to torture and inflict pain, taking influence from demons, vampires, and other creatures of such ilk.

Coven of the Wyld Spells

Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this coven at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with the Nature skill, and you learn the druidcraft cantrip.

Potion Brewing

Starting at 2nd level, you learn to spend your spare time brewing potions. You learn to create two potions, which are detailed below. You learn to create an additional potion type at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.

During a long rest, you can choose to spend some of that time brewing potions. At the end of a long rest, you create one potion. When creating potions that have multiple options, such as 'Elixir of Resistance', you must choose one of the options while creating the potion. The potions do not require any herbs or material components, as they are primarily magical. Because of this, you are only able to create a maximum of 3 potions. If you create a 4th potion, one of your other potions loses its magical properties (Your choice).

One With Nature

At 6th level, you can disguise yourself as a part of your environment. As an action, you can transform into a plant, such as a small tree or a bush. While in this form, you have vulnerability to fire damage. A creature can make an intelligence (investigation) check against your Spell Save DC to see through your disguise.

This disguise lasts for 10 minutes, until you are reduced to 0 hit points, or until you end it early (no action required). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Alchemical Knowledge

At 10th level, you have become very accustomed to creating potions, and have a deep understanding of how they function. You have advantage on checks based on identifying potions and poisons. In addition, the maximum number of potions you can have at once is increased from 3 to 4.

Budding Defense

At 14th level, you can conjure a large flower bud to protect yourself from harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to encase yourself in a large flower bud. The bud has a number of hit points equal to 5 times your witch level, and takes as much of the triggering damage as possible. While you are in the bud, your speed is reduced to 0, you are incapacitated, and you cannot be targeted by any spells or effects.

You remain inside of the bud until the start of your next turn, or until the bud is reduced to 0 hit points.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Dual-Mix

At 18th level, when you create a potion, you can choose to infuse it with two effects, instead of one. For example, you could create a potion that has the effects of an Elixir of Healing and an Elixir of Life. However, these potions count as two instead of one for the sake of your maximum number of potions.

When creating a potion with two effects, both effects must be of the same type. For example, you cannot create a potion that has an elixir effect and a poison effect.

Elixirs

Coven of Spirits Spells

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this coven at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with Shields and Martial Weapons.

Starting at 2nd level, your connection to the Ethereal Plane allows you to partially phase in and out. As a bonus action on your turn, you can transform for 1 minute. While in your Ethereal Form, you gain the following benefits:

• While not wearing armour, your AC equals 13 + Your Intelligence Modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

At 10th level, your connection to the Ethereal Plane allows you to call on the spirit of a creature that you know is dead.

You can perform a 1 hour ritual to cast the speak with dead spell on a creature without expending a spell slot. When you cast the spell using this feature, you do not need the creature's corpse to be within range. However, you need to know the name of the creature that died.

Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Death Walker

At 14th level, your attunement to the ethereal plane has strengthened your spirit, allowing it to exist separately from your body. When you are reduced to 0 hit points and not killed outright, you can choose to separate your spirit from your body, allowing you to continue fighting. While in your spirit form, you continue making death saving throws as normal, but you also gain the following benefits:

• Your spirit is immune to all damage, as well as the exhaustion, grappled, incapacitated, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, restrained, stunned, and unconscious conditions.
• Your spirit is able to move freely, and has a fly speed of 30ft, however it must remain within 60ft of your body.
• You are able to attack, cast spells, and use curses as normal, however you cannot target or affect your own body.

Your spirit remains until you are stabilized, regain any hit points, or you die. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Emergency Shift

By 18th level, your body has grown used to partially shifting in and out of the Ethereal Plane. Now, you've gained the ability to quickly shunt yourself into the Ethereal Plane to avoid harm. When you are hit with an attack, targeted by a spell or ability that would deal damage, or caught within an area of affect that would deal damage, you can use your reaction to quickly shift into the Ethereal Plane, avoiding all of the damage. You remain in the Ethereal Plane until the start of your next turn.

Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Coven of Crones Spells

Covenant of Three

Starting at 2nd level, your study of hags has granted you the ability to perform a ritual to form a coven. You can perform a 10 minute ritual with 2 other willing humanoids, forming a coven with them. This coven lasts until you finish a long rest, one of the members of the coven falls to 0 hit points, or one of the coven members chooses to end the coven (No action required). A creature can only be in one coven at a time.

When you create the coven, choose up to two spells. These must be spells that you have prepared and they must be of 5th level or lower. While the coven is active, you can use your reaction on one of the coven member's turns to allow them to cast one of these spells. The spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, and thus uses your spell attack bonus and spell save DC, and casting the spell consumes one of your spell slots. The number of spells you can choose to share increases to three at 6th level, four at 10th level, five at 14th level, and six at 18th level.

After one of your coven members casts a spell using this feature, you cannot cast spells other than cantrips until the end of your next turn. Additionally, if one of your coven members uses this feature to cast a concentration spell, you lose concentration on any spells you are concentrating on, and vice versa.

Fey Protection

At 6th level, working with the fey has granted your protection against some of their magic. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Hag's Eye

At 10th level, you have learned how to create a Hag's Eye, an amulet that allows you and your coven members to observe the world around it. By performing a 1 hour ritual with your coven members, you can create a Hag's Eye. The eye has an AC of 10 and hit points equal to your witch level. As an action, a coven member can see through the eye, seeing whatever the eye does, as long as the eye is on the same plane of existence. While looking through the eye, a creature is blind and deaf.

Coven of the Moon Spells

Mantle of Moonlight

Starting at 2nd level, you are able to shroud yourself in moonlight, granting you a brief moment of invisibility and deceiving your foes. As a bonus action on your turn, you can turn invisible. When you do so, you leave behind an illusiory duplicate of yourself. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn, at which point you become visible and the illusiory duplicate disappears.

You have two uses of this feature. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Eye for Illusions

At 6th level, your knowledge of illusions makes it easier for you to identify magical deceptions. You have advantage on checks made to discover and see through illusions.

Blessing of the Moon

At 10th level, you've learned how to hide your spellcasting, making it nearly impossible to tell when your weaving lies. You no longer require verbal or somatic components to cast your illusion spells.

Shattered Reality

At 14th level, the illusions that you create are near perfect, to the point where breaking the illusion is enough to shatter a person's mind. Whenever a creature targets one of your illusions with an attack, spell, or effect, you can use your reaction to cause the illusion to disappear. When you do so, the creature that targeted the illusion must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, they suffer 2d8 psychic damage, and are incapacitated until the start of their next turn. On a success, they take half damage and are not incapacitated.

Mass Invisibility

At 18th level, you can weave an illusory dome that veils you and your allies from your enemies sight. As an action, you can create a 30-foot radius at a point within 60 feet of you. While inside of this radius, you and any amount of creatures (which you choose when you create this radius) are invisible. You can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to move the radius up to 30 feet. The radius lasts for 1 minute, or until you dismiss it early as a bonus action.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
