Candle magic is a form of practical magic that has been practiced for centuries. It involves the use of candles as a tool to focus intention and manifest desires. Many people are drawn to candle magic due to its simplicity and accessibility, making it a great practice for newcomers to the world of magic. The main idea of candle magic is that candles have their own energy and symbolism that can be harnessed to bring about change. Different colors and scents of candles can be used to enhance specific intentions. For example, a red candle can be used for love and passion, while a green candle can be used for abundance and prosperity.
You can distend and grow your mouth into a terrible tooth-filled maw. You gain a bite attack that deals 1d8 damage and you gain a bonus to Intimidate checks equal to 1/4 your class levels.
Any creature of the aberration, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid type has a minimum starting disposition toward the legendary witch of indifferent and will not willingly attack them unless attacked first. Regardless, this monstrosity is a creature of deadly power that, through the magics of the witch and their patron, is hidden within a more innocuous creature that serves as the witch s familiar.
For example, a red candle can be used for love and passion, while a green candle can be used for abundance and prosperity. To begin practicing candle magic, it is important to set a clear intention for what you want to manifest. This intention should be specific and actionable.
Do Pathfinder Witches have a dedicated Patron spell slot?
At 2nd level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch's patron adds new spells to a witch's list of spells known. These spells are also automatically added to the list of spells stored by the familiar.pg 69, under "Witch's Familiar", at "Store Spells", states:
Starting at 1st level, a witch's familiar stores all of the spells that the witch knows. This does not allow the familiar to cast these spells or use spell-trigger or spell completion magic items. Starting at 2nd level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch's familiar adds new bonus spells to the witch's spell list based on her patron.
The first quote, from pg 70 states twice that the witch learns the spell - it is both "add[ed] to [the] list of spells known" and "added to the list of spells stored by the familiar", while pg 69 seems to state that spells stored by the familiar are the spells known. pg 65, under "Class Features", then "Spells" states:
A witch can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table 2-10. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score (see Table 1-3 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook).
This is weak evidence though, as pg 39 of the CRB states much the same - no mention of domain slots, which are listed on pg 40-41 of the CRB:
A cleric gains one domain spell slot for each level of cleric spell she can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from her two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in her domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast and spells spontaneously.

- Clarification on the witch, known spells, patron spells and bonus spells per level (TLDR point 4 is close, but specifies spells known, and the answer appropriately confines itself to the question).
At 15th level, the legendary witch and their companion have a violent blood connection. As a standard action, the legendary witch or the monstrous companion can teleport to the side of the other by violently bursting from the other’s body. However, doing so deals 1d4 damage per 10 feet of distance traveled, minimum 1d4 to the creature teleported to. The witch or companion teleporting can appear in any open space adjacent to the other. If no such space is available, the attempt fails.
Once the intention is set, choose a candle that aligns with your desired outcome. It is important to cleanse and consecrate the candle before use, as this helps to remove any negative energies and charge it with your intention. When lighting the candle, it is important to focus on your intention and visualize the desired outcome. Some people find it helpful to say a mantra or affirmation as they light the candle. While the candle is burning, it is important to keep the intention in mind and take any necessary actions to support the manifestation of your desires. Candle magic is a practice that can be customized to fit your personal beliefs and preferences. Some people like to incorporate other tools, such as crystals or herbs, into their candle magic practice. Others may prefer to incorporate rituals or ceremonies into their candle magic practice. The key is to find what feels right for you and your personal connection to the energy of the candles. In conclusion, candle magic is a simple and accessible form of practical magic that can be practiced by newcomers. By harnessing the energy and symbolism of candles, one can focus intention and manifest desires. The main idea of candle magic is setting a clear intention, choosing the right candle, and staying focused on the desired outcome. With practice and experimentation, candle magic can become a powerful tool for personal growth and manifestation..
