Kinesic magic is a term that refers to the use of body language and nonverbal communication to create a magical effect. In this context, kinesic refers to the study of body movement and its meanings. Magic, on the other hand, refers to the performance of tricks and illusions to create a sense of wonder and awe. PDF, which stands for Portable Document Format, is a file format that allows documents to be viewed and shared on different devices and operating systems while preserving the original formatting. It is widely used for documents that need to be accurately and securely shared, including e-books, manuals, and presentations. Combining kinesic magic with the PDF format can be a powerful tool for magicians and performers.

Thread: Fixing Witch Bolt?

Sure! You asking this question made me think of an idea I felt like sharing.

For reference, the thread from which the above quote is taken was discussing how to fix true strike so that it ideally remained a cantrip but became competitive as a choice with other cantrips and wasn't a waste of time to cast in 99% of situations. See that thread for discussion.

Now, to witch bolt!

This spell isn't in the SRD, so I'll just summarize it here: You pick a target, and an arc of electricity connects you and him. He takes 1d12 damage now and on each of your turns while you maintain Concentration. If he ever is more than 30 feet from you, or makes his save, the spell ends. There is scaling damage based on increased spell slot expenditure for round 1's damage, but not for subsequent rounds.

The most obvious flaw with this spell is that it relies on its continued damage to be a useful expenditure of a spell slot compared to other spells of its level, but it ends if the target creature devotes even part of its move action to getting out of range, even briefly. The damage being over time and taking Concentration is also problematic, but it's the fact that it is mostly a few d12 one-shot for a 2nd level spell is the biggest weakness.

So, here's my proposed change:

Witch Bolt
Level 2 Evocation
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a lodestone)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
When you cast this spell, you set up an electrical force between you and the target which has either attractive or repulsive properties (chosen at the time of casting). The target immediately takes 1d12 electricity damage, and may make a Dexterity save for half. The electrical force is visible as an arc of lightning between you and your target for the duration while the target is within range (though it becomes invisible if he leaves it, and resumes visibility if the range closes once again).

If you chose to make the effect attractive, on each of your subsequent turns in which you end within 30 feet of him, the target takes an additional 1d12 electricity damage (Dexterity save for half). While the electrical force is visible, the target must make a Strength saving throw on each of his turns; if he fails, he cannot move away from you. If he succeeds, he treats any movement that increases the distance (while the electrical force is visible) from you as though passing through difficult terrain.

If you chose to make the effect repulsive, on each of the target's subsequent turns in which he ends within 30 feet of you, the target takes an additional 1d12 electricity damage (with no save). While the electrical force is visible, he must succeed on a Strength saving throw before he can move closer to you, and treats any attempt to move closer to you as though passing through difficult terrain.

I do not choose to add an augment, because the damage is not the primary purpose of the spell at this point, and I don't think messing with the other parameters by upcasting is worthwhile. If I were going to, I'd probably give it a push/pull effect of 5 ft. per upcast slot, active at the end of your turn (for attractive) or the target's turn (for repulsive), just to further emphasize the battlefield control aspect.
