Weaver Witch[edit]

Weavers are witches that have the innate ability to create new spells as they are able to see the strands of The Weave that make it up. Shaping and knotting together these strands to create new complex spells or alter the very nature of existing ones.

The Weaver[edit]

Weavers are incredibly rare creatures with many hunted down by their own Witch kind as their incredible power was frightening to others. While some witches have an affinity for a single type of elemental magic, Weavers are seen to have the unique ability to have multiple affinities for elemental magic as they possess natural gifts such as flight and magical defense in their very being. This combination of affinities allows Weavers who possess this gift to be able to merge the abilities into extremely powerful spells such as the combination of fire and water being able to produce a rainstorm where clouds precipitate witch fire also called Rain of Fire.

Spellcasting[edit]

Drawing from your own innate ability to manipulate and control The Weave through its threads you’re able to cast spells, though this connection is not come automatically for most Weavers. Drawing from your deepest memory and experiences the core thoughts that shape you drive and power your spells as your guiding connection to The Weave. Though this connection will take time to settle and manifest, it can be felt and harnessed until your eyes are truly open to the gifts of a weaver.

Cantrips

You know four Weaver Witch cantrips of your choice. Whenever you gain a Weaver Witch level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Weaver Witch cantrip of your choice.

Prepared Spells of Level 1+

You prepare the list of Weaver Witch spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Weaver Witch spell list. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Weaver Witch level (minimum of one spell). The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Max Spell Level column for your level.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Weaver Witch levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Weaver Witch Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Weaver Witch spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Weaver Witch Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you meet the requirements. For example, if you’re a level 3 Weaver Witch, your list of prepared spells can include six Weaver Witch spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.

If another Weaver Witch feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Weaver Witch spells for you.

Changing Your Prepared Spells

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spell on your list with another Witch Weaver spell for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Weaver Witch spells.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Witch Weaver spells.

Weaver’s Ley Line[edit]

Your connection to The Weave is a powerful but chaotic ally, roll a 1d4 and gain one extra cantrip from the spell list of the class rolled (1: Wizard, 2: Bard, 3: Cleric, 4: Druid). In addition, your mystical connection guides you granting a bonus to your Intelligence (Arcana or Nature) checks. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum bonus of +1).

Threads of the Weave[edit]

<!-Use semi-colons for subheaders->

<!-Subclass Feature->[edit]

<!-At <!-insert level-> level, you chose a <!-insert name of subclass feature i.e. path, archetype, discipline, etc.->.

Ability Score Improvement[edit]

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.
