Choose a Coven to belong to, this describes the way you have been taught to connect with the soul of the world. These are detailed at the end of the class description.   Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th and 18th level.

You have learned to harness your life force as a resource to empower your magic. By sacrificing your life force, you can bring your spell up to its maximum power, generate additional magical energy or push your spell beyond its natural limit. Consult the table below to understand how much of your own hit points you will need to sacrifice to generate a given effect. When you sacrifice hit points to generate one of these affects you will decrease your current hit points as well as your hit point maximum until you take a long rest. You can use Maximize Magic and Overcast on the same spell if you sacrifice the amount of hit points required to generate the effect twice.

• You cannot use this feature to restore a spell slot that you are incapable of using at your current level.

Witches gain protection from the bond that they have forged with the innate power of the world. Because of their dedication the Goddess Libra has granted them some innate traits that passively give the Witch protections and bonuses during their life. You can pick two of the Blessings from below, you may pick an additional two at 10th and 17th level but you can never change any of the Blessings that you make.   Wicked Nails. Your blessing empowers your unarmed strikes and makes them deal magical slashing damage. When calculating your bonus to hit and to deal damage with unarmed strikes you will use 1d4 + your Constitution Modifier + your Witch Level.   Unrivaled Beauty. Your blessing grants you natural beauty beyond that of even the Elves. You gain proficiency in Persuasion or Deception, if you already have proficiency you gain expertise.   Horrific Aura. You must be 10th level to take this blessing, your blessing grants you a powerful aura of magic that can startle creatures that are weaker than yourself. If a creature with less hit points moves within five feet of you while you are conscious then it must succeed on a Wisdom save against your spell save DC. On a failed save a creature receives the Feared condition for the next minute, it may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If a creature passes the saving throw, then it is immune to your Horrific Aura for 24 hours.   Gift of Youth. You must be 10th level to take this blessing, your blessing grants you an unnaturally long life and you cannot be aged by most magical effects. You cannot be aged magically except by the power of a Sphinx or the effect of a Wish spell, you age ten times as slowly as a member of your race normally would.   Eyes of the Witch. Your blessing grants you eyes that perceive complete darkness as daylight and more as your power grows. You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet. At 15th level this ability grants further power and allows you to see the true form of any shapechanger or creature concealed by illusion or transmutation magic while the creature is within 30 feet of you and within line of sight.   Siphon Power. Your blessing grants you the ability to steal magical energy from creatures that are damaged by your spells and use it to restore your own reserves. When you kill a creature with a spell you gain a spell slot back equal to an amount dictated by the chart below. You cannot use this feature to restore a spell slot that you are incapable of using at your current level.

  Siphon Life. Your blessing grants you the ability to steal hit points from creatures that are damaged by your spells and manifest it as a cloak of arcane energy. When you damage a creature with a spell you gain temporary hit points equal to your Witch level, these hit points are cumulative, but they can never exceed your current maximum hit points.   Grant Power. Your blessing grants you the ability to assist your allies by sacrificing your own life force to restore their magical energy. You can use your Witch’s Blood feature to restore a spell slot to an ally within 30 feet, this must be a corresponding spell slot on the Witch’s Blood chart and the ally must be capable of using the spell slot. Using Witch’s Blood in this way consumes an action.   Grant Life. Your blessing grants you the ability to assist your allies by sacrificing your own life force to restore their life energy. You can transfer your hit points to any ally by touching them, you cannot raise an ally beyond their maximum hit points this way. Using this blessing counts as an action.   Protection from Elements. Your blessing grants you protection from elemental damage (Fire, Cold, Lighting, Thunder). When taking elemental damage, you subtract an amount from it equal to your Witch level, in addition damage from the elemental sources cannot reduce you below 1 hit point or render you unconscious.   Protection from Shots. Your blessing grants you protection from arrows, bolts, bullets and any thrown weapons. When taking damage from the listed sources, you subtract an amount from it equal to your Witch level, in addition damage from the listed sources cannot reduce you below 1 hit point or render you unconscious.   Protection from Blows. Your blessing grants you protection from non-magical melee weapons to include unarmed strikes. When taking damage from non-magical melee weapons, you subtract an amount from it equal to your Witch level, in addition damage from non-magical melee weapons cannot reduce you below 1 hit point or render you unconscious.   Protection from Phenomenal. Your blessing grants you protection from phenomenal sources of damage (Necrotic, Radiant, Psychic, Force). When taking phenomenal damage, you subtract an amount from it equal to your Witch level, in addition damage from phenomenal sources cannot reduce you below 1 hit point or render you unconscious.   Circle of Protection. Your blessing grants you extra protection when you take the time to defend yourself against incoming attacks. When you take the defend action, incoming attacks receive a penalty equal to your Constitution modifier on top of the normal penalty incurred from your defend action.   Circle of Harm. Your blessing grants you incredible accuracy when you take the time to steady yourself and prepare for a spell casting. If you use your action to “prepare” a spell that inflicts damage that will not be cast until your next turn, it will incur a bonus. For spells requiring an attack roll, you will gain a bonus to your attack roll equal to your Constitution modifier and for spells requiring a saving throw, the saving throw will be made at disadvantage.   Circle of Shelter. Your blessing grants you minor healing when you take the time to aide them in combat. If you use your action to “Help” a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you then you will heal an amount equal to your Constitution modifier.   Circle of Fury. Your blessing grants you addition prowess in combat when you choose to attack enemies with unarmed strikes or weapons. If you use your action to attack a creature with a melee weapon or an unarmed strike, then you can use your bonus action to make an additional attack.

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.   Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

You have become a Witch of incredible power that is ready to lead their own Coven and spread their knowledge to a new generation. Spells of 3rd level and lower have no effect on you and cannot deal you damage. Spells of 7th level and higher that you cast cannot be prevented by using the spell Counterspell.

The White Tree

A proud lineage that pursues the raw, natural power that lies within the spirit of Isekai. The White Tree is a rare plant that is thought to be extinct in modern-day but was once incredibly coveted for its use as a component for magical potions and the creation of an arcane focus. It was rumored that a magic wand made from the branch of the White Tree would elevate even a novice caster’s power to that of an elite mage.

The Black Thorns

A proud lineage that seeks out protection and sanctuary, the ancient powers of Isekai wrap themselves around Witches of this Coven and shelter them from harm. The Black Thorns make reference to a part of the White Tree that manifests itself in order to ward off wild animals, monsters and evil creatures of all kinds. These thorns were thought to be the bane of evil and to be a living substance on par with Adamantite with a will of their own to protect the White Tree and those that they deemed worth of protection.

The Yellow Rose

A proud lineage that seeks out knowledge and friendship from the ancient spirit of Isekai, they pursue the mysteries of the world and live in a fashion similar to Druidic communities. The Yellow Rose makes a reference to a flower that blooms on the White Tree only once every hundred years, a sight that Fey and animals of the natural world will pause to see because of its elegance and beauty. This Flower is said to impart great knowledge and understanding to those that gaze up its blooming and those that watch the final petal fall as it wilts will learn how the thing they love the most will meet its end. The secrets of the Yellow Rose are such that they could bring about the ruin rulers, societies and civilizations so if it still exists it is hidden far away from any that will see it in the modern-day.

You gain access to an expanded spell list that is called “Black Thorns Teachings” that will be added to the pool of spells that you can pick from at the beginning of each day.

You gain empowered spells based upon the strength of your life force. When you damage a creature with one of your spells you may expend your bonus action and expend any number of hit die, roll those hit die to gain temporary hit points equal to their shown value. These hit die are cumulative but they do not stack with other features or sources of temporary hit points.   You can use this feature to expend any number of hit die that you have available but if you reduce yourself to zero hit die then you will gain a level of exhaustion.

Your spells have become imbued with a protective life force that seeks out weak creatures to protect. When you cast a spell and friendly creature within 10 feet of you has less current hit points than you do, they regain an amount of hit points equal to your Witch level. If you are the creature with the lowest hit points within 10 feet, then you will instead gain hit points equal to your Witch level.

Your life force gains incredible potency that seeks to protect you at all times. While you are not wearing armor you may calculate your armor class in the following way, AC = 10 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency modifier. You cannot gain the benefits of Sheltered Life Force while wielding a Shield.

Your life force cannot be overwhelmed by other spirits and outside control without great struggle. You have advantage on saving throws for effects that would paralyze, stun, fear, possess or otherwise force you to lose control over your body. In addition, if you are successful in resisting the mentioned effect you will turn the energy back on the attacker and stun the creature that attempted to force their influence on you. Even if the creature would normally be immune to the stunned condition they will still be stunned until the end of your next turn.
