Witchbrook College — Subjects, Classes, and Curriculum

Witchbrook College — Subjects, Classes, and Curriculum

Witchbrook College is the heart of your life in Mossport. Every morning begins at its gates, and every major skill in the game — from potion craft to star-reading — is rooted in its classrooms. This page collects everything confirmed about the college’s subjects and curriculum.

Confirmed Subjects

Five subjects have been confirmed in press coverage of Witchbrook:

• Potion Brewing — crafting magical concoctions from ingredients gathered in Mossport and your cottage garden.
• Spellcasting — learning and performing spells; the class most visibly tied to coven competition and broom flight.
• Magical Creatures — studying and caring for the magical fauna of Mossport and its surrounding witchwood.
• Herbology — cultivating magical plants in your college garden; the primary ingredient pipeline for Potion Brewing.
• Divination — reading the stars and consulting celestial patterns for forecasting and astrology-based magic.

Chucklefish has also stated there are additional subjects beyond this list (“and more”). No further confirmed names exist as of this writing.

How Classes Work

Class structure in Witchbrook has not been laid out in a formal semester breakdown by Chucklefish. What the dev blog and press coverage establish is that mornings are the structured portion of each in-game day — classes take place then, and the afternoon opens into free time. Beyond that, several structural cues can be reasonably inferred.

Attendance and participation. Classes are not passive lectures. Gameplay descriptions consistently emphasise player involvement through mini-game sequences or skill-based interactions. Performing well appears to gate progression: better class performance likely unlocks more advanced recipes in Potion Brewing, higher-tier spells in Spellcasting, and richer NPC relationships with class-adjacent characters.

Coven competition. One confirmed mechanic is inter-coven rivalry — the game explicitly mentions competing with your coven “to be top of the class.” This implies some form of ongoing academic ranking or grade equivalent, not just a one-off event. Whether the ranking is per-subject, aggregate, or season-based is not yet clear.

Exams and milestones. Given Chucklefish’s published Stardew Valley — which uses seasonal milestones and ship-it goals as soft deadlines — it is plausible that Witchbrook uses end-of-term exams or skill showcases as pacing checkpoints. No direct confirmation exists.

Subjects interact. The game’s design explicitly connects subjects via ingredient and knowledge flow: Herbology feeds Potion Brewing, Divination informs Spellcasting. This cross-subject synergy likely shapes how a player optimises their weekly schedule across all five disciplines.
