Infusions represent perhaps the highest tier of witchcraft, whereby the witch (or warlock) is able to capture the essence of an aspect of the world and imbue it into either an object or themselves. Magic to mediate such an infusion is complex and many safeguards are needed to avoid calamity, this is never more true than when the practitioner seeks to infuse aspects of dimensions beyond the world. Obviously, infusing the power of a dimension into oneself will provide some interesting effects, the least of which being the ability to use magic without the usual paraphernalia of spell crafting.

Creation and use of an infusions is a multistage process.

Creating an infusion

Brewing of infusions is performed using a water-filled and heated witches kettle, into which the ingredients for a specific infusion must be thrown. Infusions always require power from a nearby altar. The process for brewing is described on the brews page.

Once an infusion is complete and white swirls are issuing from the spluttering kettle, a glass bottle may be used on the kettle to bottle the infusion. Ruined infusions will result in a bottle of water.

The following infusions can be created; the recipes for which can be found in the book, Witchcraft: Brews & Infusions:

• Ghost of the Light
  
• Soul of the World
• Spirit of Otherwhere
• Infernal Animus
• Flying Ointment
• Mystic Unguent
• Happenstance Oil
  

It is almost certainly a bad idea to drink an infusion!

Infusing an item

Once an infusion has been created, it must actually be infused into the object. This step requires an appropriate Rite of Infusion as described in the Witchcraft: Circle Magic book.

Infusion	Item	Infusable Ingredient
Enchanted Broom	Broom	Flying Ointment	Step-by-step
Mystic Branch	Ent Twig	Mystic Unguent	Step-by-step
Crystal Ball	Quartz Sphere, Gold Ingot	Happenstance Oil	Step-by-step
Seer Stone	Quartz Sphere, Obsidian	Happenstance Oil

Infusing a player

Once an infusion has been created, it must actually be infused into a player. This step requires an appropriate Rite of Infusion as described in the Witchcraft: Circle Magic book.

Infusion	Infusable Ingredient
Infusion of Light	Ghost of the Light	Step-by-step
Infusion of the Overworld	Soul of the World	Step-by-step
Infusion of Otherwhere	Spirit of Otherwhere	Step-by-step
Infernal Infusion	Infernal Animus	Step-by-step

Due to the immense power involved in the infusion process, a player is almost certain to die. Magical means of avoiding death are required to survive the process, and not waste the expensive ingredients.

Using player infused powers

Some of the powers granted by an infusion will be passive, others will need a witches hand in order to focus them. Get a witches hand off the corpse of a witch.

Recharging your power

All infusions will draw from the magical energy imbued at the time of the Rite of Infusion. When this is all used up, most of the powers will cease to function. To recharge this power level (shown on the screen as a power bar) a Rite of Charging must be used as described in the book, Witchcraft: Circle Magic.
