The Pathfinder 2e witch is a powerful spellcaster class that specializes in dark magic and manipulation of supernatural forces. As a witch, players can tap into a wide range of abilities that allow them to control the battlefield and support their allies. One of the defining features of the Pathfinder 2e witch is the ability to cast spells using a familiar. Familiars are small magical creatures that serve as companions to the witch, granting them additional spells and abilities. The witch can also use their familiar to deliver touch spells, giving them an extended reach on the battlefield. Witches have access to a unique spell list that includes hexes, curses, and various forms of manipulation.
Witches have access to a unique spell list that includes hexes, curses, and various forms of manipulation. Hexes are spells that allow the witch to inflict negative effects on their enemies, such as reducing their saving throws or weakening their attacks. Curses, on the other hand, are more powerful spells that can cause long-lasting negative effects on the target.
Depression & Other Magic Tricks
You know that a book is good when you highlight/mark something in the acknowledgements of the author.
Depression & Other Magic Tricks by Sabrina Benaim is a collection of poems dealing with depression: thoughts, what she wishes others knew, conversations she had, the struggle and finally, the hope they have that they will be well someday.
While the poem “Explaining My Depression to My Mother” has become the poem associated with Benaim it was her poem “On Releasing Light” that I got the “feelz” from. Yes, I deliberately put the “z” there as Benaim does not just give you “feelings” she gives you something more. Okay, one of the poems that I got the shivers from.
I had post-it noted the heck out of the book up to this point. I wrote in my book (okay I penciled a few stars and underlined a few things). I had even talked about poems to a friend who had sent me links to Benaim performing her slam poetry on You-Tube. As I have access to the books, I could gift her a copy.
Yet this one poem made me journal my thoughts. This book has blown me away. I knew I loved it from the first poem. When I read this poem, I stopped for a bit as I could not go on after it. It took me awhile to read as I was trying to digest each nugget. This is one of those rare books you want to rush through but also take your time with.
Even if you have not suffered from depression, anxiety or other mental health issues this is a great book to read. If you have not had a family member or friend or other loved one suffering this is a great book to read. If you have or are dealing with mental issues please read. It showed me that I was not alone. There are others who have had and are having the same thoughts, feelings and issues that I have. Gift this book to others. Keep copies at home, work and your bag. You will thank me for it!

I really love how easy it was for me to read this one yet going through various shades of emotions with each passing page! I could really connect with the writer and I was able to understand what the lines meant to convey.
This book is just not only about mental health issues. It talks about how we are as a person, how different and alike we are from our parents, what being single feels like (out of context maybe but relatable sadly), loneliness, being in love and the usual things one loves!
In addition to their spellcasting abilities, witches also have access to various occult powers. These powers, known as patrons, grant the witch additional spells and abilities based on a specific theme or concept. For example, a witch who follows the patron of darkness may gain access to spells that blind or confuse their enemies. Witches can also focus on enhancing their own abilities through a unique class feature called the hex focus. By selecting specific hexes, witches can specialize in a particular playstyle, such as damage dealing or support. This allows players to tailor their witch character to fit their desired role within the party. Overall, the Pathfinder 2e witch is a versatile and powerful spellcaster class that excels at manipulating the battlefield and supporting their allies. With their unique spell list, familiar mechanics, and access to occult powers, witches offer a unique and flavorful playstyle for players who want to delve into the dark arts of magic..
