Witch

Witches are wise ones who see hidden truths. They don’t turn away from the shadows, but instead treat them as a necessary complement to the light that creates them. Witches can talk to spirits, control shadows, and sniff out secrets. Some are dedicated to good, some to selfishness, and some find a balance. While adventuring, Witches may be the face of the group, skilled in manipulating others and clever enough to spot those who would deceive them. They may also become the sneak of the group, using their abilities to enter places others can’t or to gain information. Witches are particularly comfortable in conflict, mastering spells to harm or control others. Inspiring Examples
