The residents of a cyberpunk city could use a little magical help building up forms of resistance and collective power, and you’re just the witch to do it.

A Bewitching Revolution seeks a better future outside the grim march of capitalism – a place where all can prosper and find a bit of hope. Which is a lot of work for one witch, but change has to start with a single person wanting to do good. That it’s a witch with magical powers sure helps a bit, though.

You can use your powers in an array of ways in this gloomy cityscape. You can use spells and potions to remake the urban environment, bringing back plants and animals to the stark, blackened world. You can also use your tarot powers to find out futures that have been closed off due to the focus on profit, seeing new ways for humanity to move forward. Then, it’s up to you to help the people create community gardens, unions, and other means of working together and caring for one another.

A Bewitching Revolution carries a powerful, lovely message of caring for one another as it breaks down this bleak realm of soul-crushing labor and greed. It has you sowing hope and love for your neighbors, and through your shared humanity, finding some means of breaking a chain that will leave all people toiling in misery to serve a handful of the sickeningly selfish. What better way to put magical powers to work?
