There will be a bit of mystic magic being called upon Diablo 4 Season 7 in the form of different Powers of Witchcraft that will be available to the players.
In simple words, these Powers of Witchcraft can be considered as new powers or abilities that can be taught to your character. These powers have three different sources – Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay schools of the Hawezar sorcery. There will be a total set of 24 choices to pick from, and you’ll have to earn something called the Restless Rot to unlock them. Let’s take a look at how the different powers are shaping up, as revealed on the Campfire chat on November 21.
