All Diablo 4 Witch Powers (Season 7 Guide)

Season 7 of Diablo 4 will feature an insane collection of new powers for the player to enjoy.

You’ll be able to select up to 6 powers in total to use, five normal powers and one Unique Power, in a window very similar to the one we had for Vampiric Powers.

Each Witch will have a school of magic to learn, and there will be three schools in total. There’s also a 4th hidden school that you’ll have to explore to find, known as Lost Powers.

Eldritch - Wield Magic that harnesses destructive energies.
Psyche - Wield defensive powers of the mind and spirit to create visions, focus your attacks and induce madness in your enemies.
Growth & Decay - Wield living magic that both heals and harms, boosting life resources. These incantations can create horrific diseases and disruptions.

Explore our Diablo 4 Season 7 meta builds that will make use of the new witch powers.

How to Learn and Upgrade Witch Powers

The first three Witch Powers are learned from three different Alters, all of which can be found at the Tree of Whispers. Advancing your seasonal reputation with the Coven will also give you new powers.

Eldritch - Altar of the Eldritch
Psyche - Alter of the Psyche
Growth & Decay - Altar of Growth

Lost Powers will be gained from Forgotten Altars, and they’ll be found randomly in dungeons.

Upgrading your Witch Powers can be done through the inventory and will cost the player a new seasonal currency known as Restless Rot. You’ll be able to earn Restless Rot in a plethora of ways, but the main way will be from Headhunts, an activity that spawns similarly to Helltides in zones throughout Sanctuary.

All Witch Powers

The Witch Powers currently have three schools of magic and one Lost school, and each school will have at least one Unique Power, with the rest being classified as Normal Powers.

Witch Powers will also be upgradeable, and upgrading them to a certain rank will give that power an additional effect, ranging from rank 5 to rank 15.

For a list of all current Witch Powers, see the tables below.
