Witchwarper spellcasting is the art of bending the spell matrix that underlies reality itself. Where other casters draw power from traditions or faiths, Witchwarpers realign the threads of the Cosmos, calling forth spells from timelines that might never have existed. Each invocation is a brushstroke on the canvas of possibility—sometimes risky, often awe-inspiring, and always flavored by paradox.
Witchwarper Spellcasting Class Feature
Your paradox grants you magical power. You can cast spells using the Cast a Spell activity. As a witchwarper, when you cast spells, you might describe your revelations about other realities aloud, accompanied by elegant gestures while arcane equations or occult symbols blaze around you.
Each day, you can cast up to three 1st-rank spells. You must know spells to cast them, and you learn them via the spell repertoire class feature. The number of spells you can cast each day is called your spell slots.
As you increase in level as a witchwarper, your number of spells per day increases, as does the highest rank of spells you can cast, as shown on the table.
Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack to see how effective they are or have your enemies roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Your spell attack modifiers and spell DCs use your Charisma or Intelligence modifier, depending on which you chose for your key attribute.
Heightening Spells
When you get spell slots of 2nd rank and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-rank spells. This increases the spell's rank, heightening it to match the spell slot. You must have a spell in your spell repertoire at the rank you want to cast in order to heighten it to that rank. Many spells have specific improvements when they're heightened to certain ranks.
Cantrips
Some of your spells are cantrips. A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up—this is usually equal to the highest rank of witchwarper spell slot you have. For example, as a 1st-level witchwarper, your cantrips are 1st-rank spells, and as a 5th-level witchwarper, your cantrips are 3rd-rank spells.
Warp Spells
You can create powerful magical phenomena known as warp spells. Warp spells are a type of focus spell. It costs 1 Focus Point to cast a warp spell, and you start with a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. You refill your focus pool during your daily preparations, and you can regain 1 Focus Point by spending 10 minutes using the Refocus activity to contemplate infinite worlds or conduct quantum magical research.
Focus spells are automatically heightened to half your level rounded up, much like cantrips. Focus spells don't require spell slots, and you can't cast them using spell slots. Taking feats can give you more focus spells and increase the size of your focus pool, though your focus pool can never hold more than 3 Focus Points.
Warp spells have the anchoring trait, unlike other focus spells. This trait means you can only use warp spells while your quantum field is active, and you automatically Sustain your quantum field when you cast warp spells.
You learn warp spells based on your paradox.

*The 10th-rank spell slot is unlocked at top levels as part of the Witchwarper’s capstone class features.
Story & Roleplaying Hooks
Witchwarper spells often have sensory traces—shifts in color, the sound of lost futures, or flickers of possibility.
Heightened spells may surprise even the caster—sometimes manifesting unpredictable, paradoxical effects.
Spell choices reflect the Witchwarper’s chosen paradox and anchor, with each spell a tool for rewriting reality, not just a source of damage or healing.
GMs can use failed spellcasting or experimental spell heights as story pivots, plot hooks, or cosmic dangers.
Witchwarper spellcasting in Starfall Galaxy is much more than a tool—it is a living testament to what reality could be, shaped scene by scene at the table and in the story itself.
