You filled your childhood with rudimentary alchemical experiments, all in the hope of becoming a student of Witherbloom College. The life sciences are the focus of your reading, which include biology and necromancy. Brewing strange concoctions with medicinal properties, exploring the anatomies of monsters, and cataloging swamp flora are the kinds of studies you might pursue at Witherbloom College.

***NOTE: the "Strixhaven Initiate (Witherbloom, [STAT])" feat is implemented as a separate homebrew feat that you will FIRST need to first add manually to your homebrew collection, then SECOND, manually add to your character.***
You gain the Strixhaven Initiate feat (presented later in the chapter) and must choose Witherbloom within it. Witherbloom initiates choose two cantrips from chill touch, druidcraft, and spare the dying, and one 1st level druid or wizard spell.
In addition, if you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spells on the Prismari Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)

Suggested Characteristics

|---|---|
| 1 | I love brewing up a new recipe, even if some might be repulsed by my choice of ingredients. Or the final product. Or both. |
| 2 | My fashion sense is like my garden: withered, black, and weird. |
| 3 | I’m going to befriend every single monster in this swamp if it’s the last thing I do. |
| 4 | Everything in this world dies eventually. The question is, what will you do with the time you have left? |
| 5 | I know we just met, but when you die, may I have your bones? For research. |
| 6 | Don’t interrupt me; I’m brooding. |
