Dabble Incantations — Legacy Witch Art
Incantations is a legacy Witch Art of spoken formulae, chants, recitations, arcane rhyme and precisely shaped words. It belongs to the preserved d20 Dabble system.
Choose Incantations If…
- You want spoken words, chants and precise formulae to be central to spellcasting.
- You enjoy a disciplined, scholarly approach to Witchcraft.
- You want language itself to feel magical at the table.
What it feels like to play: Incantations makes speech part of the action. A spell is not merely cast; it is pronounced correctly, remembered under pressure and shaped by words the Witch has worked hard to master.
Legacy rules note
This Art uses the preserved d20 Witch rules. Its original prerequisites and spell progression remain below; other editions need a deliberate conversion.
Incantations are chants and recitations that evoke magic, or arcane rhymes and mystical poems.
The Spoken Art rewards precision, memory and control of rhythm and wording. The original d20 write-up restricts it to non-chaotic Witches; campaigns may instead require disciplined training regardless of alignment.
Power: Speakspell: Once per day, the witch can cast a witchcraft spell with a Verbal component as if affected by the Eschew Materials feat or by the Still Spell feat without taking up the higher spell slot or requiring her to have the feat.
