Witch-inspired outfits have gained popularity in recent years due to their unique and mystical aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from witches in folklore, movies, and literature, these outfits often incorporate dark, elegant elements with a touch of edginess. A popular choice for witch-inspired outfits is a long, flowing dress in rich, dark colors such as black, deep purple, or emerald green. These dresses often feature lace or velvet fabric, adding a touch of elegance and mystery. Pairing the dress with a wide-brimmed hat can further enhance the witchy vibe, giving a nod to traditional witch attire. Accessories play a crucial role in completing the witch-inspired look.
As it stands, you’re better off with an owl as your familiar – at least they can fly.
It seems the intent here is that only players fully immersed in a Strixhaven campaign will benefit from these feats, but they should really be more accessible. The Strixhaven Mascot feat allows you to summon a school-specific familiar that s generally more impressive than most normal options for the Find Familiar spell.
Accessories play a crucial role in completing the witch-inspired look. A statement necklace with symbols like moons, pentacles, or crystals adds a mystical touch. Long, dangling earrings or stacked rings with gothic motifs can also enhance the overall appearance.
the new Fractal Mascot familiar from Strixhaven looks like a riot on a chainlock
For those who haven't seen the leaks, Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos added two new feats. One is basically just magic initiate, and the other (which requires the first feat) grants you one of five special familiars that you can summon with find familiar. The actual options aren't exactly worth two feats, but I immediately took a shining to the Living Fractal, both because I like fractals and it has some abilities just begging for shenanigans
- you can swap places with it with a 2nd level spell slot (1 free use per long rest)
- it can phase through objects and creatures
- it can resize itself as a bonus action, though it maxes out at huge
Being a familiar rather than something more generic, the fractal can do everything a familiar can do, and is also compatible with other options like Investment of the Chain Master or Flock of Familiars. So, what can you do with it? Here's what I've thought of so far
- The phasing makes the familiar an expert scout for behind locked doors
- Combined with the teleportation, it can also be an easy way in and out
- Need to get into a locked chest? Just have it slip in, grab the contents and then dismiss it back to its pocket universe, then resummon it with the loot on the other side
- Want to make a killer Jojo reference that only people who've read the manga will get? Have this familiar from another universe phase through a creature's body and expand, making them explode in a gory shower of fractals (Back in 3.5 this used to be called Arseplomancy)
- While large or huge, the fractal can easily serve as a mount, and if you have Investment of the Chain Master, it can be a flying mount capable of carrying the whole party
- Of course, if you have a melee heavy party there's still a combat use. The ginormous flying fractal can just as easily go prone in mid air and land on creatures, doing falling damage. (Note: ask your DM if Investment applies to the DC 15 Dex save to avoid a falling creature, you might be able to bump that with the save DC)
- Does your DM allow Flock of Familiars? Now you can drop 3 at a time from 200 feet up for up to 30d6 bludgeoning damage. Your DM will beat your ass to death, but you will go down dying like a legend
The intention is that these creatures reflect the spells you receive from the Strixhaven Initiate feat, further solidifying who you are as a student of this magical University.
Adding a black choker necklace or a lacy shawl can provide a touch of Victorian-inspired elegance. When it comes to footwear, knee-high or ankle boots are a popular choice. Black leather or velvet boots with chunky heels can add an edgy and powerful element to the outfit. They also provide practicality, perfect for walking through enchanted forests or cobblestone streets. Makeup and hair are essential components of a witch-inspired outfit. Dark, smoky eyes with winged eyeliner give a captivating and mysterious look. Deep, vampy lip colors like dark red or plum can add drama to the overall appearance. As for hair, loose waves, braids, or an untamed, wild hairstyle can enhance the witchy aesthetic. Overall, witch-inspired outfits allow individuals to embrace their inner enchantress and explore a darker, more alluring side. By incorporating elements like flowing dresses, statement accessories, and captivating makeup, these outfits create a bewitching and mesmerizing look. Whether for Halloween, themed parties, or everyday fashion, witch-inspired outfits provide a unique and empowering style choice..
Reviews for "Witchy Folklore Fashion: Incorporating Ethereal Elements into Your Outfits"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the witch inspired outfit, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality. The material felt cheap and uncomfortable, and the stitching was visibly poor. Additionally, the fit was completely off - it was tight in some places and loose in others. Overall, it was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Mark - 1 star - The witch inspired outfit was a major letdown. The design looked much better in the pictures online, but in reality, it just looked tacky and poorly executed. The fabric was scratchy and uncomfortable, and the size was completely off. I couldn't even wear it because it was way too small, despite ordering my usual size. I would not purchase from this brand again.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to receive my witch inspired outfit, but when it finally arrived, I was disappointed by the overall quality. The material felt flimsy and cheap, and it didn't look as flattering as I had hoped. The color in person was also slightly different from what was shown online. For the price I paid, I expected much better. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to compromise on quality.
