Hex magic
Raises Coen's armour while a Witchcraft ability is being cast — cover for the window in which casting would otherwise leave him exposed. It is also the gateway to the tree's ability-slot perk: a retail guide names it as the branch Forbidden Sigils sits behind, which makes it the one Witchcraft node a loadout-led build has to buy whether or not the armour is wanted.
What each rank gives is not published for this node.
2 ranks, at 1 skill point each — 2 to take the node to full. The training time each rank costs is unpublished, and it is charged separately from the points.
Named in tree coverage, and named again by a first-hand retail guide as the branch Forbidden Sigils requires — so the node is in the shipped game and one edge out of it is published. Its own position, its own prerequisites and its cost are not. Its tier, its prerequisite and its rank count come from a September 2026 structured tree listing — a strong secondary source rather than a first-hand one, so the edges are reported rather than verified. Its on-screen position, its time cost and any Corruption gate remain unpublished.
