Witch Powers Guide
The Magic System of the Sabrina Universe
Magic in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a complex, layered system that blends demonology, herbalism, necromancy, and raw supernatural power. Understanding witch powers is essential for anyone wanting to roleplay in this dark magical world.
Innate Witch Abilities
All witches and warlocks possess a baseline set of abilities: extended lifespan, resistance to mundane disease, and a natural connection to magical energy. Beyond these basics, individual talent and study determine which paths a witch excels at. Telekinesis, telepathy, and basic spellcasting are common starting points.
Schools of Magic
The Academy of Unseen Arts organises magic into several disciplines. Necromancy deals with death and spirits. Conjuration summons entities from other planes. Divination reveals hidden knowledge and future events. Herbalism and potion-craft create physical manifestations of magical power. See our complete spells lexicon for all disciplines.
Dark Arts and Forbidden Magic
Some magic is forbidden even among witches — time manipulation, soul binding, dimensional tears, and dealings with the Eldritch Terrors carry consequences that can destroy the caster and everyone around them. These forbidden arts tempt the ambitious and desperate alike.
Power Sources
Witch power can come from devotion to a dark patron, personal magical reserves, coven-shared energy, ley lines, celestial alignments, or stolen magic. The source of your power shapes your character's story and limitations.
