Witchcraft

Note: Before Witchcraft was announced by Trion as the official English name of this skill set, it was referred to as Conjury by the ArcheAge community.

Overview

Skills of the school directly affect the mind of allies and enemies.

This school considers Dahuta, the goddess of the seas and change, their patroness.

Witchcraft is a utility tree which focuses on control. While it offers some damage and debuffs, no other skillset offers the same variety, or number, of control skills.
