In Witchfire you will have to take part in expeditions to eradicate “the abomination”, or the witches who infest the game world. As the Prayer, therefore, you will have to kill the enemies and the boss in the area to be able to continue to the next area. Since Witchfire is not a simple game, you will have Witchfire Arcana at your disposal to make your life a little easier.

In this article, therefore, we will tell you everything you need to know on the topic, indicating all the types of Arcana that are present in Witchfire. However, keep in mind that the game is still in Early Access and you can only explore part of it, so it is very likely that new Arcana will be added with the full release.

All Witchfire Arcana
Once you have started an expedition and have been able to completely clear an area of all its enemies, the game will reward you with the Witchfire Arcana, which are upgrades that will allow you to improve or modify your powers. The Arcana are divided into three different categories: Firearms, Spells, and Miscellaneous. In order to use them, you will need to have feathers that will allow you to unlock these upgrades that you can use for the rest of the run.
