Spellcasting
As a witch of a coven you have Tokens which you concentrate the essence of the world around you into.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the witch spell list. You learn additional witch cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the witch table.
Tokens
At 1st level, you have a number of Totems equal to your total spell slots, with tokenss ranging in size and magic potential depending on the spell slots gained each level, You may hand these tokens to another creature and they may cast the magic within as though they were the caster as long as the witch has willingly given them the token, to create a replacement token it takes 2 hours per spell level of the Token lost as well as 100 gold per Token level. Tokens given away do not regain their power each long rest as Tokens in your possession do. When that creature casts a spell in this way, their spellcasting stat is Intelligence and they do not add their proficency to their spell save DC or attack rolls unless they have the spellcasting or pact magic feature.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Witch table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your witch spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of Witch spells that are available for you to cast each day. To do so, for each of your tokens pick a witch spell of its level or lower. That spell is prepared in that token until it is used or you complete your next long rest. When you or a creature you willingly give that token to casts from that token, it is cast at anywhere from its minimum level to the level of the token.
For example, if you’re a 3rd-level witch, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spell list. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Witch spells requires time spent imbuing new magic into your tokens and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Witch spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a witch spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a witch spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag as long as you have that spell prepared.
Your Witch Tokens are your spell casting focus for the spells on your spell list, casting spells of your spell list do not need any additional materials besides those with a gold value.
YOUR TOKENS
Your spell tokens are symbols of your magic, they may look like runes, carved bones, or wood totems. They are typically something a witch can carry in a pouch on her belt. These totems channel the essence of the world around the witch, into spells. The magic a witch has can be channeled through rituals using their totems as a centerpiece for the magic of a ritual spell.
