Apotheosis Addon: Witchier Witches

Apotheosis is fantastic, but their witches just weren't witchy enough for me. So, I made this mod for my personal playthrough to tweak a few things and, after spending more and more time on it, decided it'd be a shame not to share it.

Changes include:

- A full revamp of the Witch to more fully separate it from the Shaman vanilla class, with mechanical inspiration from some of my favorite debilitator-style casters, such as FF14's original DoT Summoner, Fell Seal's Felblade, and the Witch class from Pathfinder 2. Details of the specific changes available in the images above.

- Reversion of Apotheosis' Berserker back to Valkyrie, with expansions on the theme to fill in the class fantasy of a "righteous champion" sort of job, with some reference towards Valkyrie Profile.

- Revisions to Samurai to redirect its role more towards melee damage than tanking, with new mechanics inspired by the job of the same name from FF14.

- A fix for Apotheosis's previously unimplemented "Calligraphy" passive for Ninja (i.e., create x scrolls at start of combat).

- A slight loosening of weapon restrictions for some weaponskills.

- Innate abilities are now always learnable and have integrated into their respective job's skill trees (usually towards the end and usually expensive) and JP and PP costs have been rebalanced.

- Some changes to class and skill descriptions to improve tooltip templating and change flavor to suit my taste a bit more.

- Other assorted balance and polish improvements that I find over time.

NOTE: To properly load this addon, you must also install Apotheosis and, additionally, this mod must be above it in the load order on your mod configuration screen (e.g., if the number beside the main Apotheosis mod is "2", then the number beside this mod should be "1"). If the order is reversed, the changes from this mod will not be apparent in your game. You can rearrange your load order by disabling and then re-enabling the mod on your mod config screen, which will push it to the bottom of the load order (denoted by the number to the right of it's title changing)(.

Big thanks to Andrew Willman for creating this great game and some of the most accessible modding tools I've ever used and to It'sPhoenix/DubiousPhoenix for their fantastic Apotheosis Vanilla+ class overhaul mod.
