Occultist - Candy Coven (Witch)
Candy Trail, by Alix Branwyn
The Candy Coven is a new option for KibblesTasty’s Occultist's Witch subclass - a coven that manipulates its enemies and reinforces its allies with a variety of sweet treats.
I don't usually brew for other people's classes, but this was a commission job, and a very fun one. The Candy Coven is a new coven for the Occultist Witch - an off-the-wall path within the subclass themed around, well, candy! In trying to think of what candy magic should be, I opted for three concepts to focus on: mild buffs to your allies, mild charm/control magic, and wrapping your magic up in objects (i.e. candies).
Design-wise: The Familiar Bond just makes me cackle - it turns your familiar into a literal piñata. Bag of Surprises grants random small buffs as the ally draws a magic treat from your bag. Candy Cane is a melee option similar to ones other covens might get, in this case whackin' folks with a big stick of sugar. Candied Cotton grants you quick access to two potent enchantment spells, while Delightful Treat and Deceptively Delicious let you wrap spells up in treats for your allies or enemies to consume. Tempting Treat continues the mild-control magic theme, and Witch's Cauldron is another way to boost your allies (and get cook's utensils proficiency, which is thematically important here but doesn't fit into the occultist sub-path framework otherwise). The path includes three curse spells, as all covens do - three more mild-control spells, but which lean into the darker side of a food-focused subclass.
Happy to answer questions/discuss points here, on my discord, or on Kibbles's discord.
