I'm not seeing the banish recovery in-theme effects...
Interesting. 6 monsters, 5 Attributes. 2 LIGHT, no WIND.

Pittore is a Painter
Edel is a Lapidary
Heine is a Draper

This is kind of like the craft skill counterpart to U.A.

I noticed there was no woodcrafting witch in this set...

[Archsorcerer]

Maybe the future WIND one. (Link?)

Probably makes wind musical instruments.

Ohhh... witchCRAFT. I did not get it before (in part because I skipped past the name explainations).

[Archsorcerer]

Is that a Spell Counter in Witchcraft Scroll?

EDIT: Same artist as with Madolche, Aromages and Weather Painters?

EDIT2: Atelier deck? You know, those RPGs with alchemy.

Good point. Also, missing levels 1 and 6.

The Spells suit has 3 Normal, 1 Quick-play, 2 Continuous, but no Equip, no Field and no Ritual.

Spoiler Alert!

Bystreet, Y U NO Field?

A "Witchcraft" Ritual Spell would make a ton of sense thanks to their GY self-recovery effects, and because you can always use it as a discard when you don't need to Ritual Summon. It just fits in the theme! Even lore-wise, I might say.

So, here is hoping for a level 6 WIND Ritual monster in the future!

Maybe something that can recover those banished Witchcraft cards.

Also, maybe a Level 1 DARK Witchcraft Master and along with that Level 6 WIND Witchcraft monster.
