Coven Aspirant
Creature 2 — human, humanoid
WeaverMenderLAND
Only the foolish would bring themselves to the attention of hags, but some aspirants strive to join a hag coven out of a desire for power or companionship. Hidden secrets and occult powers have an irresistible lure for many. Since the majority of these NPCs are spellcasters, consider using alternative spell lists to adjust their themes.

Abilities
Shared Confidence — When a coven aspirant is within 30-foot emanation{30 feet} of at least two allies, they and their allies gain a +1 status bonus to Will saves.
Forge Pact (auditory, concentrate, linguistic, mental, occult) — The coven aspirant forms a temporary coven with two or more willing creatures within 30 feet, all of whom must be able to cast spells.
Members of the temporary coven can cast Charm, Entangling Flora, and Illusory Disguise as 2nd-rank occult innate spells at will, using DC 17 or their spellcasting DC, whichever is higher.
The coven is dissolved after 3 rounds or when all but one member is dead, whichever comes first. A creature can be a member of only one temporary coven at a time and can join a temporary coven no more than once per 24 hours.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDAnvil's frontline position keeps enemies within Shared Confidence range, but the static emanation creates anchoring tension when the Weaver needs to reposition.
CrasherLANDCrasher pursues fleeing enemies beyond the support emanation, creating tempo tension between finishing targets and maintaining the buff zone.
SniperLANDSniper's far position falls outside Shared Confidence range, forcing the Weaver to choose between casting and maintaining emanation coverage.
