All 24 Powers of Witchcraft Coming to Diablo 4 Season 7
Diablo 4 Season 7 introduces a wealth of mystical new powers under the banner of Witchcraft. These Powers of Witchcraft will offer players a variety of abilities that are tied to three distinct schools of magic: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. A total of 24 different powers will be available for players to unlock and incorporate into their builds, each with unique effects, playstyle advantages, and tactical applications. To access these new powers, players will need to earn Restless Rot, a special resource that unlocks the ability to learn these powers. Here's a breakdown of each school's offerings, and how they can reshape your gameplay in Season 7.
Eldritch Powers of Witchcraft
The Eldritch school of Witchcraft focuses on dark, shadowy magic with powerful area-of-effect (AoE) and damage-dealing abilities. This school offers seven distinct powers:
Abyssal Resonance - For every 250 resource spent, triggers an explosion dealing Shadow damage. Successive explosions increase in size and damage, stacking up to three times.
Doom Orb - A floating orb that damages enemies with Fire damage. Upon defeating bosses, its damage is empowered and the orb explodes for massive damage after 100% empowerment.
Firebat Servants - Summons a swarm of Firebats that damage enemies over time. After five hits, enemies are stunned for 3 seconds.
Hex of Flames - Applying Hex of Flames grants an additional burst of Fire damage on your target each time you land a hit. At Rank 7, a Critical Strike causes the hex to explode and hit nearby enemies.
Purging Touch - Increases damage against Headrotten enemies. At Rank 10, this bonus extends to all monsters.
Shaken Soul - Applies Vulnerable to enemies for a set duration. At Rank 10, Psyche and Growth & Decay effects also apply Vulnerable at half duration.
Wave of Woe - Release a Wave of Shadow damage when hitting enemies. This damage echoes to nearby enemies, growing stronger with each echo.
Psyche Powers of Witchcraft
The Psyche school taps into mental and psychological forces, focusing on control, debuffs, and enhancing survivability. Here are the six Psyche powers:
Aura of Misfortune - Interrupts enemy attacks near you, with a bonus to Movement Speed and enemy Slow effects at Rank 5.
Aura of Lament - Striking an enemy applies a Slow to it and surrounding enemies. It also generates Primary Resource each second per affected enemy.
Hex of Shattering - Reduces the damage dealt by enemies afflicted with Hex of Shattering. At Rank 8, applying Hex to Headrotten guarantees Critical Strikes for 5 seconds.
Life Link - Links your life force with up to three nearby enemies, sharing damage dealt to you. At Rank 15, linked damage becomes guaranteed Critical Strikes after using a Defensive, Macabre, or Subterfuge Skill.
Twilight Warding - Absorbs damage and provides a Barrier every few seconds. At Rank 12, it reflects enemy projectiles while active.
Vengeful Spirit - Summons a spirit that absorbs your damage. If it dies, it deals a burst of Shadow damage to nearby enemies.
Growth & Decay Powers of Witchcraft
The Growth & Decay school is centered around life force manipulation, summoning servants, and toxic damage over time. Here are the seven powers available in this school:
Aura of Siphoning - Deals Poison damage over time and heals you based on damage dealt. At Rank 10, healing scales with each damage instance.
Decay Augmentation - Deals additional damage over time based on your class' damage type. At Rank 10, it instantly kills enemies when their Life drops below 85% from damage over time.
Hex of Whispers - Applies a Hex that jumps between enemies, dealing Shadow damage each time it leaps. After six jumps, it grants Fortify and cleanses crowd control effects.
Grow - Empower Servants, Minions, and Companions with dark magic, making them larger and dealing bonus damage. At Rank 11, they gain 100% Critical Strike Chance while enlarged.
Soul Harvest - Absorbs life force from nearby enemies, boosting your primary stat. At Rank 9, the effect does not expire as long as enemies are in range.
Poison Frog Servant - Summons a frog that poisons enemies over time. Upon death, the frog explodes, dealing Poison damage. At Rank 5, it Taunts enemies and pulls them towards it.
The Cycle - A chance for flowers to grow after damage, healing allies or damaging enemies. At Rank 5, the effects are amplified, affecting all nearby targets.
Lost Powers of Witchcraft
Finally, the Lost Powers represent a set of four additional, unique abilities that combine aspects of all three schools of Witchcraft. These powers include:
Breath of the Coven - Increases Attack Speed after applying a Witchcraft effect (Eldritch, Psyche, or Growth & Decay). At Rank 8, you gain a 40% Lucky Hit chance when multiple schools of Witchcraft are active.
Hex Specialization - Enhances the potency of your Hex effects. At Rank 10, it also increases Critical Strike Chance against enemies under Hex.
Aura Specialization - Increases the size of your Aura effects. At Rank 10, it boosts Critical Strike Damage against enemies within your Aura.
Piranhado - Summons a Piranhado when a Hex and Aura effect are applied to the same target, dealing Physical damage over time. At Rank 5, the Piranhado moves toward enemies.
Conclusion
With 24 Powers of Witchcraft available in Diablo 4 Season 7, the possibilities for character customization and build diversity are immense. Players will have to carefully choose between Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay powers, each of which provides a unique set of abilities that can dramatically change the way they approach combat. Unlocking these powers will require players to master the Restless Rot and experiment with the new synergies to become truly unstoppable in the season's most challenging content.
