In the depths of an ancient forest, a legend whispers among the trees - the tale of the Dark Witch. She is said to be a creature of great power and darkness, residing deep within the shadowed corners of the woods. Her presence instills fear in the hearts of the villagers who live nearby. Legends tell of her origins, how she was once a young and innocent girl who was consumed by the darkness. It is said that her thirst for power became her downfall, and she made a pact with forbidden forces to attain unimaginable abilities. As a result, she became the Dark Witch, forever bound to the shadows.
Too much balance can negatively affect flavour. Not everything has to be exactly equal; it's more important to be playable and fun.
I haven t read these kobold press options, so I don t know how balanced they are, but I feel like sometimes the perfect balance isn t desirable argument gets used to defend things that are seriously in need of a balance adjustment.

As a result, she became the Dark Witch, forever bound to the shadows. The Dark Witch's appearance is rumored to be as haunting as her powers. Some villagers claim to have caught glimpses of her, describing her as ethereal and pale, with long, flowing black hair that seems to mimic the movements of shadows.
I reviewed all 700 spells in Kobold Press’s Deep Magic Book
The point of the document is not for people to read through it all (that would be as insane as writing it) but rather if you do buy this book, and are looking to approve a specific spell, this may give you some idea of any problems the spell currently has.
I also point out some of the great spells in the book as well. You can find them labelled as (GREAT)
I guess if I had to summarize my findings I’d say that this book’s spells are filled with a mix of proofreading and balance problems.
- Either ignoring or just not understanding 5th edition mechanics.
- It has a lot of spells with unclear or vague text.
- The spells are not balanced for their level
- There are at least 140 spells that to me are clearly underpowered or clearly overpowered for their level (and not by a little)
- There are another 83 spells that are on the edge of being called either of these.
But there are other issues with it’s spells as well.
- There is an over-reliance on referencing other spells in order to explain a spell’s effects.
- Too often you need the creature statblocks in one of Kobold Press’s other products to use these spells
- Though this is somewhat mitigated by the statblocks being open license, since you can find websites that provide them. They should still have been provided in this book.
- The 1st level spell Mosquito Bane, for instance, lets you kill any insects (with less than 25 hp) within 50 feet of you without them even getting a chance to save against it.
The quality of the subclasses is much better than the spells. But they can be generic at times.
The formatting also needs work as well. About 50 pages worth of actual content gets thrown into an appendix for some reason (including subclasses, spells, and other features).
- They introduce new spell schools but then don’t treat the subclasses and spells in these schools consistently (some subclasses or spells end up in their associated school’s section, while others get thrown into another section of the book)
That isn’t to say it is all bad news. I think there is great content in the book. It just gets dragged down by all of this.
Also, a lot of the issues that were present in their past products weren’t addressed. Like many of these proofreading issues were present in the Midgard Heroes Handbook as well as earlier Deep Magic products.
Overall, the product just felt like it needed more time in the oven.
As for your question if anyone is backing the Deep Magic Kickstarter, in just the first few days, there are already 1,564 backers! You can check it out here:
Her eyes are said to glow with a malevolent hue, captivating all who dare to look into them. The witch's abilities are rumored to be vast and potent. Some say that she can bend the elements to her will, summoning storms or casting curses with a mere flick of her hand. Others speak of her ability to manipulate minds, using her dark magic to twist thoughts and control the will of others. Though the villagers fear the Dark Witch, they also recognize her as a force to be reckoned with. Some claim that she has protected the forest from outsiders, ensuring its preservation through her immense power. But others believe that her intentions are far more sinister. They say that she seeks to spread her darkness beyond the forest, seeking out more power and control in a world that already trembles in her presence. Legends of the Dark Witch have been passed down through generations, shrouding her in myth and mystery. The tales serve as a reminder to all who hear them of the dangers that lie in indulging in the allure of power and darkness. To encounter the Dark Witch is to face the embodiment of that temptation, a living reminder of the perils that await those who stray from the path of light. Though she remains a legend and a figure of fear, the Dark Witch continues to draw intrigue and fascination from those who hear her tale. Her story serves as a cautionary tale, a reminder that even the greatest power can become a poison when wielded with ill intent. It is up to each individual to choose their own path and ensure that they do not succumb to the allure of the darkness that lies within..
