“

I found this old spell called 'Last Breath' on one of my ancient scrolls. I think it might be a good luck spell! Hehe~ Can I cast it on you?

”

The Witches are a naturally curious lot accompanied by alchemically created minions: familiars. Deeply interested in the scientific civilization of ancient Pandemonium known as Terra, they gather in the Ancient Library, reading books, creating machines that combine magic and technology, and dreaming of going out into a bigger world and testing their inventions one day. Their incomplete technology often leads to unexpected—sometimes hazardous—results, but they believe that once they fully uncover the secrets of Pandemonium's science, they will wield inconceivably destructive power.

---

The Witch is a gifted student of the ancient texts of Pandemonium. Among the many magical contraptions at the Witch's disposal is the iconic broomstick, from which she can attack her enemies from the air. The Witch also dabbles in the mysterious art of alchemy, and takes on a familiar—a helpful magical pet—to support her in battle. Since her powers are grounded in a near mathematical understanding of magical learning, her attacks are based on probabilities. The higher the probability, the more deadly the attack.

• At level 50, the Witch awakens as the Trickster. At level 75, the Trickster awakens as a Geniewiz.

• Her subclass cosmetic effect is a belt of alchemy vials strapped around her waist.

• Her 2nd Awakening cosmetic effect is a large red crystal necklace known as  Lapis Philosophorum.

• Her Neo Awakening cosmetic effect is the Witch brings out a piece of  Red Candy that shines for a moment.

Awakening as a Trickster

We witches work hard to master our craft,
Our broomsticks can break any spear, pole, or staff!
Nothing will ever hold us back,
Whenever we're challenged we always attack!

Off we go! Flying around!
Cather our scrolls and fly into town.
Study the Ancients and practice our spells,
Nothing will ever bring us to frown!

Our familiars are near, in your hearts they strike fear.
Snowman and Pumpkin are ways right here!
We've lasted for ages, the best of all Mages,
Against us not even an Apostle's courageous!

You think us to be young, innocent, and foolish?
We are the ones who put away Ghoulguish!
We are responsible for Seria's tutelage!
Try me, you'll see, I invented hubris!

We will poison your crops!
Me and my sisters,
Sugarplum gumdrops,
All shall fear me, I am the TRICKSTER!

- Song of Iki -

Awakening as a Geniewiz

A storm is coming to Pandemonium once more.

The forbidden artificial life 'Homunculus' was found inside Elting Memorial Underground.

Although the Apostile 'Hilder' did not restrict the people of the Pandemonium from researching magic in general, the development of artificial life and research was strictly forbidden. This was because they knew about the tragic event that happened from the artificial life research that took place in Terra. It was so dangerous that even 'Kashipa' known as one of the biggest rebels, did not break this law.

However, the fact that 'Devilgirl' caused this event enraged Hilder even more. Devilgirl is a group of geniuses who are also the biggest troublemakers in Pandemonium. They were known for causing many bad events in the past. But every time, Hilder overlooked their offenses as she felt it was their passion for research that caused it.

However, she could not let this one pass. So Hilder ordered to immediately dispose of the Homunculus but Devilgirl refused. Hilder had no choice but to take the problem into her own hands. She rallied up an opposing force and disbanded the Devilgirl. Then, she went onto dispose Homunculus and the research data.

Some of the witches that strayed away became a part of Kashipa and continued their research with the knowledge that they had obtained. They were persistent. And finally, they transferred the unstable Homunculus to the abyss and succeeded in making the completed form of Homunculus.

The witches returned as 'Geniewiz' and using the Homunculus familiars, they became a new nuisance in Pandemonium

Trivia

Subclass Inspiration

• The Witch's theme and motif is based around Witchcraft, Alchemy, and a heavy focus on Magitek within her skills.
  • While both are described as witches, the Witch and the Enchantress are not the same subclass.

Titles

• A Witch in terms of folklore dating back to Medieval and European origins, are usually depicted as villainous women that uses dark magic or supernatural powers to inflict harm on others. For popular media, Witch characters tend to be shown as either heroic or neutral figures.
• The First Awakening Trickster in folklore, can describe an individual who exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and defy conventional behavior.
• The Second Awakening Geniewiz is literally a portmanteau of Genius & Wizard.

Skills

•  Cheeky Doll Shururu - The word Shururu (シュルル) is a Japanese Onomatopoeia for a snaking motion.

•  Mega Drill looks to function similarly to Mega Man's Rush Drill Hyper Combo from the 1998 Arcade crossover fighting game, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

  • Jack Frost - Female Brawler's  Junk Spin
