I believe the reason one choose becomes a witch instead other casters is something about one‘s character:too selfish to be with nature;too cynical to connect to a god;too cool for school……(party too hard for bard college?Is it even possible?)

Any way,a witch did not finish traditional magic training,so witch can only do ritual spells,brew potions. Even though witch is not a complete caster, witch compensates it with canny and that gives some powerful beings an idea to hire the witch to hustle for them. So they give witch a special familiar that can cast spells with two actions.

So in combat, witch spends one action to order the familiar spending two actions to cast a spell. Different familiar knows different metamagic and use it freely. A witch still has two actions left after orders the familiar.

Hexs are magic powers witches gained by some dangerous, difficult rituals, required sarcrifice and restrictions to follow everyday. Hexs are the only spells a with can cast in a fly and re-energy them in a 10-min ritual.

I just think this idea give reason why a character stars as a witch instead other casters, why a witch needs familiar that badly without changing too much machnic.
