Arcane Enhancement (Level 1)
Your training grants you a magical well of arcane power. Your access to this well is represented by a number of mana points.
Your witch knight level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Mana Points column of the Witch Knight table. You regain all spent mana points when you finish a long rest.
As you increase in level, you will gain additional Arcane Enhancements. Unless otherwise stated, you may not have more than one Arcane Enhancement active at any given time. Any enhanced object that is not in your possess loses its Enhancement.
Some parts of this feature was divided into other class features to stay faithful to the class table.
Arcane Enhancement: Arcane Weapon
At 1st level, you can infuse your weapon with elemental power. You can spend one mana point, as a bonus action, to deal additional damage.
Select a damage type from acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, and thunder. For the next minute, all of your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d4 points of damage of the selected damage type. The amount of extra damage increases as you gain levels as a witch knight, as shown in the Arcane Enhancement column of the Witch Knight table.
Arcane Enhancement: Diminishing Armor
Also, at 1st level, you can spend one mana point, to reduce incoming damage from attacks. For the next minute, when you take damage you, you may choose to reduce it by 1d4. This reduction happens after any damage reduction you may possess.
The amount of incoming damage reduced increases as you gain levels as a witch knight, as shown in the Arcane Enhancement column of the Witch Knight table.
Spellcasting (Level 1)
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the witch knight spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional witch knight cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Witch Knight table.
When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the witch knight cantrips you know with another cantrip from the witch knight spell list.
Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing five 1st-level witch knight spells of your choice.
Your Spellbook
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
Copying a Spell into the Book
When you find a witch knight spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the wizard or witch knight who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book
You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book-for example if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell.
If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many wizards keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.
The Book's Appearance
Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound giltedged tome you found in an ancient library or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Witch Knight table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of witch knight spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of witch knight spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your witch knight level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you're a 5th-level witch knight, you have four 1st-1evel and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include five spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of witch knight spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your witch knight spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and discipline. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a witch knight spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell
Spell
Ritual Casting
You can cast a witch knight spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your witch knight spells.
Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a witch knight level, you can add one witch knight spell of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Witch Knight table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook.
Witch Knight Discipline (Level 2)
When you reach 2nd level, you choose a discipline in which you have specialised: Beast Bonded, Eldritch Guardian, Size Shifter, Spellblade, and Spellbreaker. Each discipline is detailed at the end of the class description.
Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 20th levels.
Spell Strike (Level 2)
By 2nd level, you have learned to blend your weapon training with spellcraft. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, that calls for a spell attack roll as part of casting the spell, you may make a weapon attack in place of your spell attack.
If the attack is successful, your attack deals weapon damage as normal and the effects of the spell.
The range of the attack is that of the weapon or that of the spell, whichever is shorter.
Spells that originate from a point other than yourself can not be used with this ability.
If you cast a spell that calls for multiple spell attacks you only make the first attack roll, the rest of the spell attacks are infused into your weapon until you make that many attacks with the weapon. If you spell strike with a new spell, any unexpended spell strikes are lost. Additionally, You must concentrate on the spell until all of the spell strikes have been expended.
Missing with multiple spell strikes do not increase the cost to maintain a spell.
Some parts of this feature was divided into other class features to stay faithful to the class table.
Arcane Enhancement (Level 3)
At 3rd level, you gain the following Arcane Enhancement:
Arcane Enhancement: Arcane Trap
At 3rd level, you learn how to imbue your elemental magics into sigils you can draw onto a surface.
As an action, you can spend 1 mana point to create an Arcane Trap. When you create the trap, you select its damage type from the damage types available for your Arcane Weapon enhancement. The trap takes up a 5-foot space on the surface you place it.
The design of these sigils makes them hard to make out. To notice this trap, a creature that did not witness the creation of this sigil must succeed on a Perception check against your spell save DC.
When a creature, other than yourself or creatures you designate when you create the sigil, comes within 5 feet of it, or you trigger it as a bonus action, all creatures within 10 feet of the trap must make a saving throw determined by the damage type. Dexterity for acid, fire, force, lightning, and radiant, Constitution for cold, necrotic, poison and thunder, or Wisdom for psychic.
On a failed save, the creature takes damage of the selected type equal to a number of your enhancement die equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), or half as much on a successful one.
Once placed, the trap remains in place until it triggers, you use another Arcane Enhancement, or you dismiss it (no action required by you).
Arcane Recovery (Level 3)
Beginning at 3rd level, you have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover and regain mana points.
The total combined level of the spell slots and number of mana points recovered is equal to or less than half your witch knight level (rounded up) and you regain a number of spell points up to half of your level (rounded down).
For example, if you're a 5th-level witch knight, you can recover up to three levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level and 1st-level spell slot, three 1st-level spell slots, or one 2nd-level spell slot and one mana point.
Ability Score Improvement (Level 4)

At 6th level, you gain a feature granted by your Witch Knight Discipline.

Redirect Mana (Level 15)

The creature must make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability. On a success, you gain control over the spell, as if you had cast it. If the spell deals damage of the same type as any active Arcane Enhancement, you can make this save with advantage.
If the spell requires a spell attack, it imbues your weapon as per spell strike. Whereupon you can make an attack with that spell as part of this reaction or hold it for later.
