Witchery is a practice that has long been misunderstood and stigmatized. The image of the witch as something evil and frightening has been perpetuated for centuries. However, there is another side to witchery that is often overlooked – the power and wisdom that comes from embracing the witch within. At its core, witchery is about connecting with the elements and the natural world. It is about tapping into the energy that flows through everything and using it to manifest change in our lives. It is a practice that encourages self-reflection, self-empowerment, and self-discovery.
It is a practice that encourages self-reflection, self-empowerment, and self-discovery. To embrace the witch within is to embrace our own power, intuition, and inner knowing. Witchery is not about casting spells or causing harm to others.
How does Protection from evil spell work?
So my fighter advanced to epics and he ain't very good at saving throws, eating up pretty much every single debuff.
I was thinking of taking sentinel mantle enh which provides protection from evil effect because I've heard it protects from most/all control spells.
Is it true? Can someone please explain what exactly it does protect from so I'd know whether this mantle is worth spending points on. Thanks!
Also, does a relevant pot provide the same bonus? (it doesn't feature the full spell text)

It grants a +2 deflection bonus to Armor Class, and a +2 resistance bonus to saves versus attacks from Evil creatures.
You also get immunity to mind control spells like Command, Greater Command, and Dominate Person.
I believe the potions and the spell Protection from Evil do the same thing. The wiki mentions potions only lasting 1 minute for the immunity portion of the spell due to a bug. (https://ddowiki.com/page/Protection_from_Evil)

Catalogues Bugs
The potions have been 100% fixed, it's only the scrolls that are still bugged AFAIK (but then again, there's no reason to ever use the scrolls over the potions).
More notes regarding Protection from Evil:
- The Protection from Evil spell does not stack with the Black Abbot's Shadow guild buff.
- The AC bonus from Protection from Evil stacks with the usual deflection bonuses, and the Saves bonus stacks with the usual resistance bonuses (the same is true for "Chaosguard" as well, a very old effect that I'm only mentioning for archival purposes).
- Protection from Evil found on items (or via the Horizon Walker enhancement tree and maybe other trees as well, can't recall) does NOT grant you immunity to Command, Greater Command, and Dominate Person. This is likely WAI, as newer items with this effect (namely Protection from Evil +2 / +4 / +6, as opposed to the old plain "Protection from Evil" effect) specifically avoid mentioning the immunity portion of the spell's effect.

Mostly it grants the player immunity to Command / Greater Command and Dominate Person / Monster. It's extremely useful if you are going up against casters known to use those spells, like Dwarven clerics or a certain Vampire Lord. There is a quest boss that likes to spam this spell if any player doesn't have protection, resulting in a players character "changing sides" and hilarity ensuing.

It is about using our energy and intention to create positive change and to align ourselves with the natural rhythms of the universe. It is about working with herbs, crystals, and other tools to enhance our spiritual practice and to heal ourselves and others. Embracing the witch within means stepping into our own power and embracing all aspects of ourselves – the light and the dark. It means embracing our own intuition and inner guidance, and trusting ourselves to make the right decisions. It means recognizing our own strength and resilience, and using it to create a life that is aligned with our true desires. Witchery is not just a practice, but a way of life. It is about living in harmony with the earth and all living beings. It is about honoring the cycles of the seasons and the cycles of our own lives. It is about recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and the impact that our actions have on the world around us. In a society that often encourages conformity and suppresses individuality, embracing the witch within is an act of rebellion. It is a reclaiming of our own power and a refusal to be defined by societal norms and expectations. It is a celebration of our unique gifts and talents, and a recognition of our own worthiness. Embracing the witch within is not always easy. It requires courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. But the rewards are great – a deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. It is a journey of self-discovery and transformation, and an invitation to live a life that is authentic and aligned with our true essence. So, let us embrace the witch within. Let us tap into our own power and wisdom. Let us connect with the earth and all living beings. Let us live a life that is in harmony with the natural rhythms of the universe. And let us celebrate the magic and beauty that resides within each and every one of us..
Reviews for "Embracing Witchery for Healing: Harnessing the Power of Nature"
1. John - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within." The plot was confusing and poorly developed. It felt like the story was all over the place, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The writing style was also subpar, with many grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. Overall, I found the book to be a frustrating and unsatisfying reading experience.
2. Sarah - 1/5
I simply could not get into "Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within". The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story didn't seem to go anywhere. The characters lacked depth and were quite uninteresting, making it difficult to care about what happened to them. Additionally, there were numerous spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the book, which distracted me from the already lackluster plot. I regret wasting my time on this book and would not recommend it to others.
3. Mike - 2/5
"Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within" had potential but ultimately fell flat for me. The writing was decent, but the characters felt one-dimensional and clichéd. The dialogue was often stilted and unrealistic, making it hard to feel engaged in the story. Furthermore, the pacing was off, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by rushed and confusing action scenes. Overall, I found the book to be underwhelming and forgettable.
4. Emily - 2.5/5
I had mixed feelings about "Witchery: Embrace the Witch Within". While the concept was intriguing, the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on and others feeling rushed. The characters had potential, but their development was lacking, making it difficult to form an emotional connection. Although there were some interesting elements and twists, they were overshadowed by the book's overall mediocrity. I wouldn't actively recommend this book, but it might appeal to those who enjoy light, predictable reads.
