1 Secret, [Spellcasting +1]
2 Secret, [Spellcasting +1]
3 Secret, [Spellcasting +1]
4 Secret, [Spellcasting +1]
5 Secret, [Spellcasting +1]

Spellcasting: At each level, the weird sister gains new Spells Known and Spells Per Day as if she had also gained a level in whatever class met the casting without preparation requirement of this prestige class. In addition, weird sister levels stack with witch levels for purposes of gaining the witch’s Eternal Youth class feature.

Secret: At each level, the weird sister learns one of the secrets of witchcraft unknown to lesser witches. By permanently sacrificing the indicated Spells Per Day slot, she gains a special ability from the following:

• Anyspell: The weird sister can learn any witchcraft spell, arcane spell, or druidic spell as a bonus arcane Spell Known. Witchcraft spells are learned normally, while other arcane spells and druidic spells are learned as if the spell were one spell level higher than normal. For example, she could learn the sorcerer’s fireball spell as a 4th level spell or the druid’s heal as an 8th level arcane spell. Learning a witchcraft spell costs a spell slot of equal level; learning other spells costs a spell slot equal to 1 + the spell’s original spell level. This secret can be selected multiple times.
• Arcane Reach: She can use touch spells on targets up to 30 feet away, with a ranged touch attack if the spell normally requires a touch attack. If selected twice, the range increases to 60 feet. This secret consumes one 7th-level spell slot each time it is chosen.
• Broom Mastery: In the hands of the weird sister, any ordinary broom functions as a broom of flying. She can only empower one such broom at a time; once designated, the broom behaves as a broom of flying. If the broom is destroyed, she merely empowers another broom with a touch. The secret of empowering brooms with flight costs one 3rd-level spell slot.
• Cauldron Mastery: The weird sister can use the Brew Potion feat to create potions of spells of 6th-level or lower. This secret consumes one 6th-level spell slot.
• Forget: She can select up to three witchcraft spells she knows and “forget” them, freeing those spell slots for new witchcraft spells of equal or lower levels. This secret costs a spell slot of a level equal to 1 + the number of spells forgotten, up to a 4th-level slot for three forgotten spells.
• Improved Metamagic: The weird sister selects up to three Metamagic feats she knows. She can now cast without preparation spells affected by these feats without the required increase in casting time. This secret burns a spell slot equal in spell level to 2 x the number of feats chosen, up to a 6th-level spell slot for three feats.
• Silverfire: She gains the ability to channel arcane spell energy into a glittering lightning bolt of silvery magical energy, often streaked with violet, blue, or other colors. The bolt is a ranged touch attack with a Medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per level of weird sister) and deals 1d4 points of damage per level of weird sister, plus 1d4 points of damage per spell level channeled to create the effect. Therefore, a 4th-level weird sister who channels a 7th-level spell into silverfire deals 11d4 points of damage to the target if it hits. This secret costs one 8th-level spell slot.
• Spell Power +2: This ability increases by +2 the DC for saving throws against, and for caster level checks for, the weird sister’s witchcraft spells and Bewitch and Hex class features. This ability can be selected multiple times and stacks with itself. Spell Power burns a 7th-level spell slot each time.
• Wild Shape: She can assume the form of animals. Once per day, the weird sister can Wild Shape into a Tiny animal, such as a cat, owl, or viper. This secret consumes a 2nd level slot and can be selected multiple times, each time increasing the number of times per day by +2.
• Witchery: The weird sister can further improve her mastery over witchcraft. She chooses a bonus feat from the following list: Charm a Crowd, Craft Staff, Craft Wand, Cupid’s Brew, Dabble, Extra Charm, Extra Hex, Fiendish Focus, Glamerous, Greater Charm, Greater Fiendish Focus, Greater Hex, Greater Mist Focus, Greater Moon Focus, Greater Touch Focus, Greater Winter Focus, Id Manipulation, Irresistible, Mist Focus, Moon Focus, Phantasmic, Sense Magic, Silent Spell, Still Spell, Touch Focus, Touch Spell, Vivid Imagination, Voice of Influence, or Winter Focus. She must otherwise qualify for any feat selected. This secret can be taken multiple times, granting an additional bonus feat each time. It costs one 2nd-level spell slot; each additional time it’s selected, the spell slot cost increases by +1 (a 3rd-level spell slot the second time, a 4th-level slot for the third feat, etc.).

Any unusual limitations of your spell-like ability, such as whom or what it can affect, also apply to the mass version of the ability. For example, if your spell-like ability only affects a specific gender or creature type, the mass version carries the same limitation.
