Witch (V.

3)

Cornered by the enemies, a young elf is looking for a way to

escape her terrible situation. Suddenly, a large beast-like

creature jumps in front of her, ready to defend her.

In the shady ally of a major city, screams can be heard as a

human finishes off one of his targets. "He won't disrupt the

balance of the universe anymore," thought the assassin.

Between a feverish little girl and her parents, an old

gnomish figure is making the young girl drink a strange blue

and purple liquid contained in a small vial.

Witches are the worshippers and protectors of magic. They

can manipulate the arcane and divine forces of the world

around them to help others or to destroy the obstacles in

front of them.

True magic

For witches, magic is the essence of the world. Arcane or

divine, it is present in every single object, person,

phenomenon, act and thought. Some people have learned to

use its power by bending it and forcing it to oblige to their

wants, but the magic wielded by witches is much more fluid.

It flows through them in a much more primal state. It is an

art perfected by witches throughout the ages that is still not

understood by scholars.
Witches are worshippers of magic itself. The weave of
magic is for them, the most precious gift the world has to
offer.
The weave
The weave of magic is the source of all magic in
the world. It is an unseen force that protects the
world from the chaos that is raw magic. It sifts
magic to make it much less dangerous to use, but
the weave can be damage by recklessly using
magical abilities or by defying its laws. This damage
can create areas of dead magic or even areas of
wild magic.
Witches draw their magic directly into the weave. They act as
an intermediary between raw magic and our world. Their
magic is not arcane nor divine, it is both a the same time.
They wield true magic.
Defender of balance
Life is magic, but so is death. Witches worship magic in all of
its forms. From the good to bad and the ugly. Magic is neither
kind nor is it hateful. It is a neutral and natural force that
should be used with caution. It is a delicate push and pull
between the forces of the world. If that balance gives out, the
world would be destroyed. After all, can good exist if there
isn't evil?
Witches have for sacred mission to protect the weave. Each
of them has their way of helping, but they all want to protect
magic and the balance between good and evil. They have
sworn to never let those primordial forces fall out of order, no
matter the cost.
Creating a Witch
When making a witch, consider how your character came
into having such a deep connection with the weave. Maybe
you were raised by witches and were taught at a young age
the ancestral tradition of witchcraft, or maybe you survived a
traumatic incident where the weave got damaged. Perhaps a
witch once saved your life and you want to be strong as she
was, or maybe a goddess of magic gave you the power to
sense the weave.
When creating a witch, it is also important to know how do
you want your character to defend the world. Is it by simply
being kind, or is it by chasing down people who broke the
laws of magic? Perhaps, you want to help the dead pass to
the afterlife.
Witches also usually have unique ways of channelling their
magic. Do you craft poisons, potions and powerful elixirs, do
you have a familiar that can help you fight, or do you perform
ancient and intricate rituals to empower your abilities?
Why are you now an adventurer? Do you want to parkour
the lands to find people to help you deal with a powerful foe
that is disturbing the weave, or perhaps you're looking for a
group of witches that have disappeared on a mission? The
possibilities are endless.
Quick Build
You can make a witch quickly by following these suggestions.
First, Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed
by Constitution. Second, choose the outlander background.

spell has the ritual tag.

feet of you casts a spell, you can apply one of the following
effects of your choice. Each spell can be altered by only one
Universal Magic effect. You can use this feature only once per
turn, up to a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier
(a minimum of one).
You regain any expended uses when you
finish a long rest.

The Coven of Natural Magic

The witches of the Coven of Natural Magic are protectors of

nature. Like druids, those witches are the ones that keep the

elements balanced, and protect the wildlife against any

menace. Nature is an important part of magic, which means

that at any time, a witch is present to assure its balance. The

nature-based abilities of this coven come from the friendship

that witches of this coven have with druids. It is not rare for a

witch or two to live with a group of druid since they all have

the same goal.

Casting a spell might be seen as trivial in a world like

medium of their choice. If the coven chosen by the witch

specialty answers the question of how they cast spells. Each
specialty usually coexists inside the same coven, making
covens recoupments of witches that express their power
differently.
Potion Specialty
Making potion takes time and patience, but witches that are
ready to dedicate themselves to this art can create powerful
elixirs that are either feared or admired throughout the
nation. With enough preparation, a witch that specializes in

studied this spell for years aren't able to grasp the inner
workings of this strange ritual. This spell isn't even part of any
known school of magic nor any known "level" of magic. This
spell can only be casted as a ritual. It is also the only spell not
reproducible with the Wish spell. It is said that this ritual was
entrusted to witches by Mystra, the goddess of magic, to help
witches all over the world maintain the balance of magic.
