Choose any folk, and then choose what kind of witch you are. Each
option includes an Elemental tag, which you can select when weaving a
\move{Black Magic} spell.

\begin{optfeature}[add tag \itag{elemental (electric)}]{Weather Witch}
  When you \condition{fly atop your broomstick in the open sky}, there is
  always cloud cover to obscure you from sight.
\end{optfeature}

\begin{optfeature}[add tag \itag{elemental (ice)}]{Wicked Witch}
  When you \condition{throw a potion at someone}, the target takes all
  effects of that potion as if they had drank it.
\end{optfeature}

\begin{optfeature}[add tag \itag{elemental (ice)}]{Winter Witch}
  You are immune to the bite of frost and wind, and can share this
  protection with anyone you touch. When you have time and safety, you
  can create a one-room structure out of ice.
\end{optfeature}

\rightbanner{Starting Moves}

\begin{basicmove}{Black Magic (INT)}
  When you \condition{weave a spell to inflict pain}, choose two tags
  from the list and roll +INT. If you do not pick any Range tags, the
  Range defaults to \itag{hand}. \onHit, deal 1d8 damage,
  plus all effects of the added tags. \onPartial, also choose
  one:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You draw unwanted attention or put someone in a spot
  \item The GM removes a non-range tag of their choice, and you deal
    -1 damage
  \item The spell drains your energy. You take \ongoing{-1} to INT until
    you have a few minutes to clear your head
  \end{itemize}

  \textit{Tags: \itag{reach}, \itag{near}, \itag{debilitating (half
    damage)}, \itag{forceful}, \ntag{2}{piercing}.}
\end{basicmove}

\begin{basicmove}{Broomstick (DEX)}
  You can fly atop any broomstick you get your hands on, although some
  brooms behave better than others. You can fly with one passenger and
  for up to one day at a time---more than that, and your broom gets
  upset. When you \condition{fly atop your broomstick}, either a great
  distance or somewhere out of reach, tell us where you're going and
  roll +DEX. \onSuccess, you get where you need to be, but choose
  one. \onPartial, you'll get there, but choose two:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item A threat is waiting for you when you get there
  \item The broom misbehaves, and it takes a while to get where you want
  \item Your landing is better described as a crash
  \item The ride numbs your body: you take \ongoing{-1} to DEX until you
    have a few minutes to stretch your legs
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}

\begin{basicmove}{Cauldron's Brew and Potion's Bubble}
  When you have some downtime, you can brew up a potion---describe
  what it does.  Brewed potions are \weight{1} per 3 doses, and you
  get 3 doses per brew. Potion effects are always possible, but the GM
  will give you one to four of the following conditions:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Supplies are short---you only get 1 dose of your potion.
  \item The potion's effects are delayed, and won't take effect until
    a short while after drinking.
  \item The potion's effects fade quickly---the imbiber will need to
    hurry to get use out of it.
  \item The potion has strange and unwanted side effects.
  \item The potion is volatile, and will explode if dropped or treated
    roughly.
  \item The potion smells and tastes horrible---the imbiber takes
    \forward{-1}.
  \item You're missing an ingredient and will need to acquire it to
    finish the brew.
  \end{itemize}
\end{basicmove}

\begin{basicmove}{Little Witch's Academia}
  When you \condition{use a Bag of Books}, you can take +1 to any
  roll, not just \move{Spout Lore}. When you do, explain what sort of
  magical help the book provides.
\end{basicmove}

  potions you carry equals \weight{1}. Choose two:

  \begin{choices}
  \item Three healing potions (heal 10 HP or 1 debility)
  \item Three charm potions (makes the imbiber trust the next person they see)
  \item Three exploding potions (\itag{near}, \itag{thrown},

  can only have one such charm at a time, and it breaks if you ever
  directly harm the wearer.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Witchcraft (INT)}
  Choose a single element or type of object, such as fire, dolls,
  shadows, bones, or snow. You gain magical control over objects of
  that type or element. When you \condition{magically manipulate an
    object or element you have control over}, describe what you're
  doing and roll +INT. \onSuccess, your spell works, but choose
  one. \onPartial, it works, but choose two:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You bring the manipulated object to life---it is
    now an NPC
  \item Your spell has strange and unwanted side effects
  \item You draw unwanted attention to yourself or an ally
  \item The spell drains your energy---you take \ongoing{-1} to INT
    until you have a few minutes to clear your head
  \end{itemize}
\end{amove}

\columnbreak
\begin{amove}{Witch's Familiar}
  You have a small animal companion, such as a rat, cat, bat, owl, or
  raven. Your familiar is capable of speaking. When you shut out your
  own senses and concentrate on the bond you share with your familiar,
  you can sense what they sense and speak through them.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Witch's Grasp}
  When you \condition{hold out your hand expectantly}, an unattended

  undead.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Sweep the Floor}
\moveRequires{Customized Broomstick}

  Gain two more options from the Customized Broomstick list. You can
  choose an option you already have for a second time, and the bonus
  stacks.
\end{amove}


\begin{amove}{Turn You Into a Newt (INT)}
  When you \condition{cast a spell to transfigure an enemy into a more
    harmless form}, roll +INT. \onHit, you did it! They'll turn back
  after fulfilling a condition you tell them, or at sunrise if you
  don't give one. \onPartial, the spell wasn't quite as effective as
  you'd like. The GM chooses one:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Their new form doesn't hinder them as much as you'd hoped
  \item The transformation will only last for as long as you concentrate
  \item The spell backfires---you transform into the same thing they do
  \end{itemize}
\end{amove}
