Witchcraft

For combat ability in Divinity: Original Sin II, see Necromancer (Original Sin 2).

Filled with the best buffs and debuffs in the game, Witchcraft skills are great for a supportive role. With low AP costs on many of the best spells, like 3 AP for Oath, which gives a 50% damage increase for 3 turns, this skill set has a lot to offer. Its best damage dealer, Destroy Summon, almost never comes into play, but against the Winter King, or if one of your own summons gets charmed, it can end any summons existence on our plane with no problem.

The two undead summons offered are extremely tanky versus earth and poison based enemies, though later in the game the 10% knockdown chance is blocked by one rank of Body Building, and the DPS on them is not the highest.

Best Skills: Oath of Desecration for your DPS, Absorb the Elements to buff your tank, and Drain Willpower/Soulsap to shut down a boss.

Witchcraft is the only ability that does not unlock any talents.
