Facts

  • The Witchcraft Skill in the game now is called Sympathetic Magic, and can only be learned by studying an inspirational in the form of a doll that looks like Elizabeth Maudney. Such dolls were given out in an event, but can also be crafted by anyone who already has the Sympathetic Magic skill.
  • Sympathetic Magic gives the ability to craft other dolls which can be used to Curse pilgrims by attuning it to them, a process which takes about a minute, and requires the witch to be standing near the victim while doing an odd dance.
  • The types of Curse are Burn, Drown, Hang, and Dirty. It is unknown exactly what effect each Curse has when applied, but there are rumors.
  • Attuning a doll can drop a Witchcraft Scent icon.png Scent, which is summonable.
  • There is a priest in Providence that says he will cure those afflicted by Curses for a fee of 200x Silver Pieces icon.png Silver Pieces.

It is possible for both Witch and Victim to Permanently Die as a result of Curses although exactly how that may happen is still a mystery.

Pilgrims are encouraged not to journey down the path of Witchcraft if they are not prepared to live a harsher and more isolated life. The dark arts are very demanding.
