The arcane spirits that invisibly stalk the world call your body their home. These spirits guide your hand in the potent magic that now flows through you, potentially against your will. Will these spirits help bring peace and prosperity to the world, pushing you to a path of heroism? Or will they puppet you to their own ends, destroying those who get in their way?

You might have gained these powers from accidentally awakening an old spirit that now posses you, or perhaps your family was cursed by a powerful magical creature.

Witch Knight Spells

1st-level Witch Knight feature

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Witch Knight Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an evocation or an illusion spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
