Introduction to Witchcraft

Diablo 4's Season 7 has introduced Witchcraft as a core mechanic, allowing players to wield dark magic from Hawezar. This system includes 25 Witch Powers, categorized into Eldritch, Psyche, Growth & Decay, and Lost Powers. Each category offers unique abilities that enhance combat strategies and character builds16.



Unlocking Witchcraft Powers

To unlock Witchcraft Powers, players must complete Gelena's initial quests in Gea Kul, which leads them to the Tree of Whispers. Here, they can access the Altars of Witchcraft, where powers can be purchased using Restless Rot, the season's currency. The Coven's Favor system allows for further unlocks and upgrades24.



Building Synergies with Witchcraft

Players can equip six Witch Powers at a time, combining them to create powerful synergies. For example, using Eldritch Powers for offense while employing Psyche Powers for defense can enhance survivability and combat effectiveness. Lost Powers, though rare, offer versatile effects that can boost other Witchcraft abilities56.



Impact on Gameplay

The Witchcraft system has revitalized gameplay by providing diverse strategic options. Players can now craft builds that incorporate both traditional skills and Witchcraft abilities, enhancing their combat effectiveness and survivability. This has made Season 7 a highlight for many fans, despite some initial disappointment over certain omissions
