Distribute points, choose from 10 unique witch classes, and learn your first spell. Individualize your character further by answering seven questions about their background. All choices in character creation have consequences in exploration and combat.

Exploration
A quest to find the blood of a murderer leads you and two companions into woods, field, and fen.

Tactical Combat
