The same thing has happened today with the arrival of the Witchcraft Seasonwhich is the seventh season to date that has been published, so you now have a well-justified reason to return to Sanctuary.
Over the next few months you will have to investigate why the Whispering Tree's most prized possessions have disappeared, such as his collection of heads that pay his eternal debts. This is because there is a most Machiavellian plan behind it, but the best thing is that to take action you will be able to count on a kind of new class.

Without further ado, here you go all the detailed news of this large-scale update.

Because they have been freed, the objective will be to go out in search of them Before they find new bodies they long to claim.

- Psychic: Magic focused on the mind and spirit to create visions and carry out attacks that drive enemies mad. Among these secondary effects, you can increase the damage they cause, such as critical hits or a reduction in the movement of enemies, but also create a Vengeful Spirit that causes all the damage you receive to go to this spectrum.
- Supernatural: magic that harnesses destructive energies. His spells can generate a colony of Fiery Bats, a burst of shadow damage, a wave of calamity, and other fire damage.
