Ice Magic When a winter witch casts a spell with the cold descriptor, the save DC of the spell increases by 1. A baroness cannot learn or cast spells with the fire descriptor.
Winter witch baronesses are members of Irrisen’s aristocracy who rule towns and villages throughout the nation. As a baroness (or sometimes countess depending on her rank), a winter witch reports to the ruler of her province. Some baronesses and countesses treat their subjects better than others, but across the board they are unsympathetic, short-tempered, and cruel.
