Witch of the Wastes

Medium humanoid (any), neutral or neutral evil

The witches of the wastes are hedge mages who live alone in the wilderness --- the marshes, the ruins, the edges of the Blightlands --- places where no sane person would settle. They are self-taught casters who learned to draw mana from the tainted ley lines through instinct rather than formal study, and their magic reflects this: raw, unpredictable, and laced with more Void contamination than any academy-trained wizard would tolerate. Some witches are simply hermits who want to be left alone. Others have been driven from settlements for practicing forbidden magic. A few have gone genuinely mad from isolation and Corruption, and these are the ones that adventurers are most likely to be sent to deal with.
