School of Witchcraft

Unlike other practitioners of arcane magic, you have learnt how to wield magic both present in the weave, nature and the spaces between and beyond realms, becoming a bridge between these sources of knowledge and arcana. With these practices, you have learnt the unusual magic of the hags of the world, researching the rituals and forms of magic that they wield, learning how to harness those magics for your own use, or to shift the battlefield in the favor of your allies.

Ritual Weaver

At 2nd level when you choose this subclass, you have become adept at manipulating magic to flow as you wish, allowing you more efficiently ritually cast spells. As a result of this you can transcribe spells with the ritual tag from any spell list into your spellbook and any time you choose to ritually cast a spell, the additional time required to do so is reduced to 1 additional minute instead of 10.

Atypical Arcana

At 2nd level, your studies into the unusual forms of magic have allowed you to harness forms of magic not usually available to other practitioners of arcane magics. Due to your discoveries, you are now able to cast two 1st level spells of your choosing from either the druid or warlock spell list. You cannot change these spells however for you they are always prepared and count as wizard spells. At 6th, 10th and 14th level in this subclass you are able to learn more spells from the warlock and druid spell list in this manner.

Ars Imbuo

At 6th level,  you have learnt how to imbue items, organic or inorganic, with your magic to create a variety of effects, be it for your protection or the warding of others. Similarly to the hags and witches of fairytales and folklore, you have become adept in creating a variety of curses and charms to further your goals. When you gain this feature, you gain a number of imbuing points equal to the number of levels you have in this subclass. These imbuing points can be used to apply curses onto targets of your choosing. When gaining this feature, you learn 3 curses you meet the prerequisites for, and are able learn an additional curse every three levels you take in this class after 6th level. You can change the curses you know every time you level up in this class. As well as this, you learn the bestow curse spell. For you, the spell has a 30ft range and is always prepared.

Curses and Charms:

Imbuing points can be used for applying curses and charms on chosen targets. When a target is forced to make a save as a result of the use of imbuing points, your spell save DC in this class is the DC. A curse that states that it reduces your total maximum amount of imbuing points reverts your total imbuing point is increased by the number of imbuing points used to put the effect into motion but it does not replenish lost imbuing points after the effect ends. You can also convert spell slots into imbuing points, with the level of the spell slot translating to the number of imbuing points gained from the conversion as a bonus action. You regain all lost imbuing points on a long rest. Each curse has a level prerequisite. This level prerequisite refers to your level in this subclass. 

Agony

Prerequisite: 14th level

As an action, you expend six imbuing points and target a creature within 30 feet of you, and the target must make a Constitution saving throw.

Once the target succeeds on this saving throw,  the effect ends. If you do not use your action to continue this effect, it ends.
