Witch Spells


Rules Questions


Am I good on assuming that a witch's patron knows all those spells on the witches spell list? I just choose spells from that list on my spells per day per level?

I dont gain two new spells or whatever like a wizard.


Witches gain spells sort of like wizards:

A witch must commune with her familiar each day to prepare her spells. Familiars store all of the spells that a witch knows, and a witch cannot prepare a spell that is not stored by her familiar. A witch’s familiar begins play storing all of the 0-level witch spells plus three 1st level spells of the witch’s choice. The witch also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her Intelligence modifier to store in her familiar. At each new witch level, she adds two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new witch level) to her familiar. A witch can also add additional spells to her familiar through a special ritual. -d20pfsrd

There's a discussion of how witches gain spells on p. 68 of the APG.

Ive searched 20pfsrd for that and could not find it for some reason. Thank you!

actually no. A witch's familiar acts as a spellbook of sorts and you have to add spells to it by brewing it "potions." Its in the sidebar on page 68 of the APG. they start with 3+int mod spells known. thats on page 67 under Witch's Familiar.
