Spellcasting
You are able to project your soul to communicate with spirits in the astral plane. You know a number of spells listed in the Spells Known column. In order to cast a spell, you must spend a number of consecutive full turn actions meditating as listed in the meditating section of the spell. The spell is cast at the beginning of your turn immediately following your final meditation round. If a spell doesn't require meditation, it can be cast as an action. You may cast spells of any level, but when casting a spell of a level higher than the level listed in the Safe Level column, you must succeed a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to twice the spell's level + 5. On a failure, you are in a death-like state for 1 hour. You may retry this saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending this effect at the end of each of your turns.
You know a number of spells as shown in the Spells Known column. You may change 1 spell you know for another at the end of a short rest, or 3 at the end of a long rest.
- Spellcasting Focus
You may craft a spellcasting focus out of magical material, most often wood from a spirit tree. If it is worth 25 gp (made over 20 hours of work), it counts as a fragile object, thus having 2 (1d4) hit points. If it is worth 50 gp (made over 40 hours of work), it counts as a resilient object, thus having 5 (2d4) hit points. When you fail a saving throw to cast an unsafe spell, you may choose to decrease your spellcasting focus's hit points by a number up to the spell's level, decreasing the DC of the saving throw by the lost hit points.
Origin
Choose an origin, which describes the way in which you communicate with spirits. You may choose between
Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 2nd level and again at 5th, 13th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
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.
Extra Feat
At 7th level, you may gain a feat of your choice, or take a level in another class, counting both this level and this class and that level in that class as the same level but only gaining the other class's hit die and any multiclassing proficiencies. You may do this again at 10th, 15th, and 17th level.
Witch
