Steel Magic

Level 3

Cut Down Foes with the Soulsword

Secret covens throughout the Material Plane practice their magic by drawing spells into their blades. Maniacally cackling and whirling their way across the battlefield, these Witches weave their curses into a bloody tapestry whenever they bring their steel to bear.

Steel Spells

When you reach a Witch level specified in the Steel Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Steel Spells

Witch Level	Spells
3	Heat Metal, Heroism, Magic Weapon, Shield, True Strike
5	Blink, Haste
7	Death Ward, Freedom of Movement
9	Flame Strike, Telekinesis

Martial Training

You gain proficiency with Martial weapons that don't have Heavy and training with Medium armor and Shields. You can use a Melee weapon with which you have proficiency as a Spellcasting Focus for your Witch spells.

Soulsteel

As a Bonus Action, you can draw the essence of your familiar into a Melee weapon that you are holding, manifesting in a cloak of green flame. This weapon becomes your Soulsteel weapon. Your familiar is temporarily dismissed until this effect ends at the end of your next turn. You gain the following benefits.

Bonus Damage

Once per turn when you hit with your Soulsteel weapon, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage. This damage is your choice of Force, Necrotic, or Radiant.

Cackling Killer

When you ValdaSpire24, you can extend the duration of this feature by 1 round.

Charismatic Attacks

Whenever you attack with a weapon with which you have proficiency, you can use your Charisma modifier for the attack and damage rolls instead of using Strength or Dexterity.

Extra Attack

Level 6

You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

In addition, you can cast one of your cantrips (including your Hexes) that has a casting time of an action in place of one of those attacks.

Insidious Smite

Level 10

Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with your Soulsteel weapon, you can expend a level 5 or lower spell slot to deal extra damage equal to 1d8 per level of the spell slot. This damage is your choice of Force, Necrotic, or Radiant.

Hexplate

Level 14

You have Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage dealt by an enemy that is the sole target of your Hex.
