As of the release of the Witchcraft Dev video (see below), witchcraft is larned by using a book of magic known as [[on der Unaussprechlichen Kulten]] (''Of the Nameless Cults'', a fictional book of arcane magic from universe of the horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft).  Once read, the first Witch skill is learned, called [[Osculum Infame]], or the infernal kiss. This skill allows players the craft option of "Curses, Hexes, and Simulacra", which lets them make the [[Animus]], [[Shiver me timbers]], and [[Witch's Broom]].
