When a Witch begins to go wicked, their magic warps, and they lose access to some of their coven spells.

Replacing Your Coven Spells When the first signs of your wickedness peek through, pick one of the coven spells you’ve been granted and replace it with one of the Coven of the Wicked spells of the same level below. You can also replace a cantrip granted by your coven with Cackle or Chill Touch.

Each time you finish a Long Rest, replace another of your coven spells if you’ve continued down the path of wickedness. If you and your GM agree that a particular act of wickedness would prompt a larger shift in your character’s magic, you can replace more than one spell.

Wicked Coven Spells

When you reach a Witch level specified in the Coven of the Wicked Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Witch Level	Prepared Spell
3	Acid Arrow, Command, Detect Thoughts, Inflict Wounds
5	Animate Dead, Vampiric Touch
7	Blight, Phantasmal Killer
9	Antilife Shell, Contagion

Rest for the Wicked

A witch who has turned to wickedness can only turn away from it through hard work and genuine remorse, though they need not do so alone—the care and support of others are vital to this process. The witch must dedicate themself to rehabilitation, striving to repair the damage caused by their cruel acts and resist further pettiness and spite.

Regaining Your Coven Spells

Magic, like milk, can’t unspoil, but the spilling of it can be forgiven. Whenever you make amends for a cruel or destructive act you committed in the past, or earn the forgiveness of those worst hurt by it, you can regain one of your original coven spells that you lost. Any spells you gained from the Turning Wicked feature remain after rehabilitation—as does the temptation to use them.

Regaining Your Coven Features

During the process of rehabilitation, you lose access to your Coven of the Wicked features—though these features return if you renege on their desire to mend your ways. When you regain all your original coven spells, you can change covens and regain your original coven’s features, losing any remaining Coven of the Wicked features.

Curse of Spite

As a Bonus Action, you can curse a creature within 60 feet of you for 1 hour. For the duration, when the creature fails an Attack Roll, Ability Check, or Saving throw, they take Psychic or Necrotic damage (your choice) equal to the difference between the result of their roll and the Armor Class of the target or DC of the test.

When you reach level 10, the power of your malice actively sabotages those who’ve earned your ire. Whenever the target would succeed on an Attack Roll, Ability Check, or Saving throw, you can take a Reaction to subtract your Proficiency Bonus from the total.

You can use this feature twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Loathsome Gift

In your wickedness, you feed on death and misery. When an enemy dies while affected by your Curse of Spite feature, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to no more than half your Witch level (round up), and none of the slots can be level 6 or higher.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Detect Mercy

If a curse you cast is lifted by Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, or similar magic, you immediately become aware that it’s been lifted.

Curse-Token

Additionally, your curses are persistent in their power. When you cast a curse spell with a level no higher than your Proficiency Bonus that requires Concentration on a creature or creatures, you can anchor the curse to a non-magical Tiny or Small object that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature. For the duration, you can’t lose Concentration on the spell unless the object is destroyed or you anchor another curse to the same object. The object has AC 12, HP 35, a damage threshold of 20, and Immunity to Necrotic, Poison, and Psychic damage.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Malicious Bond

Your unbounded malice cares nothing for distance. Using a lock of hair, nail clippings, or other body part from a creature, you can target it with a spell as if you can see and touch it, so long as the creature is on the same plane as you. An item with an active spell from your Curse-Token feature also satisfies this requirement for a creature the Curse-Token’s spell affects.

When you use a creature’s body part to target them with a spell, it is consumed by the spell.

Twisted by Cruelty

Your wicked disposition brings on changes to your physical form, as you embody the most vengeful aspects of nature. You gain the following benefits:

• Any Critical Hit against you that doesn’t include Radiant damage is a normal hit instead.
• You have Advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the Poisoned and Stunned conditions.
• You can see normally in Darkness, both magical and nonmagical, out to a distance of 60 feet.
• Nonmagical plants within 30 feet of you wither after 1 hour in your presence. If you live in one location for at least a year, non-magical plants within 5 miles of that place wither and the soil becomes barren.
