Blizzard

In a Campfire Chat, Blizzard has announced the theme of Diablo 4 Season 7, and it's a big one. The theme is Witchcraft, and players will be able to unlock new powers from three schools of Hawezar sorcery and even some substantial "Lost" powers. 

While Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred's Season 7 will only be released sometime in January 2025, the developers are already getting ready to test the Witchcraft powers via the PTR, which runs from 3 to 10 December 2024. While we wait for the PTR to begin, we can already take a look at all Witchcraft powers, so let's leap in!

All 24 Witchcraft Powers in Diablo 4 Season 7

There are the Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay schools of Hawezar sorcery, alongside Lost powers for players to unlock by slaying Headrotten enemies to earn Restless Rot and completing special Tree of Whispers quests.

Once you've got enough Restless Rot, you can unlock new powers at the Coven’s Altar in Season 7 or upgrade their rank.

Please note:The effects and stats of these Witchcraft powers are subject to change before the launch of Diablo 4 Season 7 in January 2025. Blizzard is testing these powers, so balance changes are expected. We'll endeavor to update this article when changes occur. The details outlined in the sections below are from early PTR patch notes.
