Witch Class: Soul Eater[edit]
A witch's appearance varies, although they generally look like human women. However, some witches may have an appearance based on animal features distinct from their animal theme. The wavelength of a witch's soul is also distinguishable, although this cannot be seen physically. The first witches first appeared shortly after the emergence of the New World created by Shinra Kusakabe due to migration from the Old World creating random changes within the inhabitants regarding their nature. Among the changes was the former human Inca Kasugatani, being one of, if not, the first of the witches to appear. Once a human from the Old World, Inca would be reborn in the New World in the form of a witch and claim that she would wreak havoc until Shinra agreed to let her bear his descendants due to her status as a hero.

Longevity[edit]
At 1st level, Witches are much more "long-lived" than humans, with many passing the century mark. Because of this, it is often difficult to judge a witch's real age from her appearance, it seems that witches age at a normal rate up to a certain point in age before slowing down. Because of this you cannot be magically aged and effects that would age you do not work.
Transformation[edit]
At 1st level, depending on your theme, you can transform into a creature or animal of your choice to keep the description at the time of combat or pursuits, however it is not possible to use magic in your transformation (GM and player have to talk about that). In other words, the animal has to be something that doesn't call much attention, after all, many humans still see you as a creature of chaos and disorder. You gain this ability based on your Wisdom modifier. This creature you transform can evolve as you progress (level 6 it gains new traits and spells in its transformation. Level 8 you can manipulate the animal as a specter that assists you every 3 successful acts on a target, dealing xd8, with "x" being your Wisdom modifier. You can invoke it as a single attack, but it expends your entire combat action.)
Witch Spellcasting[edit]
Witches are best known for their ability to manipulate the nearly limitless energy known as magic. This font of magic, fuels your spells.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the Wizard and Necromancy spell list. You learn additional Wizard and Necromancy cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Wizard and Necromancy table.
- Spell Slots
The Sorcerer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Wizard or Necromancy spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these Wizard or Necromancy 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.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
- Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Wizard or Necromancy spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Sorcerer table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Wizard or Necromancy spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Wizard or Necromancy spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Wizard or Necromancy spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Wizard or Necromancy spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your Wizard or Necromancy spells.
Witch Style[edit]
At 1st level your birth has determined what witch style you are. You can choose between Powerful witch, Short-Range Witch,
Magic Sense[edit]

Powerful Witch[edit]
You chose to become a highly powerful witch with massive amounts of magical power. You gain the ability to choose 1 element of your choice and control it as you wish, its damage is xd8 wisdom+prof and your spells cause a type of damage you choose, instead of just magic. Going down this path isn't the best choice for beginners though, as your Hit Die becomes 1d4 and your AC is = 8+prof+wisdom and you have weakness to physical damage and resistance to magical damage.
Short-range Witch[edit]
You've learned to be as brutal from afar as you are up close, using a combat style of your choice that has ki points based on half your level. So you gain +2 dex, your AC = 8 + Dex + prof and your Hit Die becomes 1d8, you also have proficiency in acrobatics. You become resistant to physical attacks
Vector Drill[edit]

Witch Paths[edit]
Arrow Vector[edit]
Vector Arrow uses arrows like 'snakes' that move quickly towards the target. They can slash and pierce the opponent acting like blades. You can also manipulate these 'arrows' in various ways, just use your creativity. They can move in any intended direction, making them extremely versatile whether used for offense or directly as a deterrent to limit an opponent's movements.
- Snake Arrows
At 3rd level as an action, you can do a kind of dance with your hands and summon arrows (2 at level 3, 3 at level 5, 5 at level 7 and etc...) that move like serpents and focus on one or more multiple targets, dealing xd6 (xd10 at level 11) piercing damage for each arrow, where x is the number of arrows you want to hit the target.
- Vector Plate
At 5th level as a move action, scream a spell allows her to create an arrow on the ground which throws the subject in the direction the arrow is pointed forcing the target to go in that direction upwards if it maneuvers at high speed in the direction specified by the caster increasing speed by 30 feet per vector (1d8=15 feets)(at level 8 you can use vectors through the air). You can place arrows around the map in a 30-foot area, by the number of your proficiency modifier + Wisdom. (Cannot be placed one on top of the other, otherwise the spell will be nullified)
- Snake Arrows, Boost!
At 6th level, bestowing an arrow tattoo on a candidate the user chooses or the user himself, this Spell doubles the power of a given attack whenever an attack is exerted in the same direction as the arrow. (Example: you put the arrow that points forward in your hand, that is, all attacks that point forward cause double damage. However, if it is an attack made with an ax that can only attack from the sides, the buff does not takes effect.) This buff lasts for x attacks (where x is your wisdom score) that you can buff until the effect wears off, you may use this feature 2 times per long rest.
- Vector Storm
At 10th level as a reaction, you can surround yourself with several intertwined vector arrows that project upwards from the ground, formed into a rotating physical shield, capable of preventing or limiting the effects of powerful attacks, you can use your DC spell + xd4(x=wisdom mod) against the your opponent's attack causing you to nullify the damage if your spell dc is greater than the attack hit, however this does not apply to area skills and you only receive half regardless of the spell dc.
- Compress Vectors
At 14th level, as a channeling action you can surround a target with "vectors", you can then compresses the target. The maximum on a target seen compressed was the size of a pellet dealing xd14 + your proficiency bonus per turn of the canalization on, with X being your Wisdom modifier +1. However, it cannot contain non-physical entities or shrouded in Madness.
- Analyze Decompose
At 18th level, through the use of numerous Vector Arrows, the user is able to remove sources of highly empowered items or armor. The ability is conducted by firstly summoning the various 'arrows' involved, before subsequently driving them with significant force, into a single point on the intended target.
Magic Spells[edit]
Magic Spells:Common[edit]
- Manipulation Magic
At 5th level you will unlock a new spell, it allows you to manipulate other entities or lesser beings. Using your spell DC to control other beings, based on the creature's level and how mentally accessible it is, all this changes when controlling the creature , you can dialogue with the creature to facilitate this process and increase the target's Wis save and increasing a maximum of +4 in the modifier (example of difference in level and difficulty: if your level is 8 and the creature's level is 5, you will have an advantage of +3 in the manipulation. However the difficulty varies a lot, if it is an ancient dragon of level 3 but of difficulty 8 and its level is 5 the calculation is = 3+8-5=6 of advantage that the creature has about handling)
