Witch spells mostly deal with manipulation of spiritual energies (both living and dead) and protections against the beings who supply those energies. Either way and whether or not they wish, witches bind part of their own soul to those that surround them. Some witches tap into the residual energies of long-departed souls, while others use extant spiritual beings as conduits for their spellcasting. Witches may or may not have respect for the spirits they bind, though one could say they should.

As you attain higher levels, the covenant you choose to live by grants you further abilities which extend the utility and power of these bonds in different ways. As a witch, you learn to summon these souls and bind them to your will, gaining protection from them and power over them. Unlike shamans who pray to the spirits of nature, witches trap the tormented souls of those lost betwixt the realm of the living and the beyond. The bejeweled human, dressed in exotic garb and golden chains bellows a spell which echoes with the voices of an army of lost souls, a fiendish glint in his eyes as blood drips from his palm. A trio of halfling hermits gather among candles and incense, chanting words of power to bait spirits from the shadows. A tattooed elf, veiled and cloaked, draws his obsidian dagger across the sand, calling forth from the lines a ghostly apparition to help him and his allies find their way.
