Building
Sanctuary Crafting Guide
Witchspire\'s building system is magical by design — astral projection lets you build free of gravity. Master the crafting tree, the Early Bird Cosmetics Pack, and co-op Sanctuary sharing. Updated for Patch 0.1.3.
Astral Projection — How To Build
Enter build mode
Activate astral projection from the Sanctuary menu. Your witch untethers from gravity and can move freely in 3D space — no fall damage, no clipping, full freedom to place walls, floors, and decorations vertically.
Place structural pieces
Walls, floors, and foundations snap to a grid. Use astral projection to place ceiling-mounted decorations (Ornate Lamp) and elevated platforms without scaffolding — this is the single biggest advantage of magical building over grounded building.
Decorate with cosmetics
Cosmetic items (Traxio Carpet, Wooden Couch, Two Cushions from the Early Bird Cosmetics Pack) can be placed freely. Some decorations have snap points; others are free-form. Patch 0.1.3 added new decoration options for Mira Isles villas.
Share with your coven
Up to four witches can share a Sanctuary. Building privileges can be granted to coven members so they can place and edit decorations. Cross-coven co-op works — a Cloudpiercers host can host Foretellers guests in the same Sanctuary.
Early Bird Cosmetics Pack
Included with the Standard Edition during Early Access. Four starting decoration items to make your Sanctuary functional from day one.
| Item | Placement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ornate Lamp | Ceiling-mounted | Light source. Best placed in astral projection mode — ceiling mount is much easier when you can fly. |
| Traxio Carpet | Floor | Cosmetic floor covering. Snaps to tile boundaries. Pairs well with Wooden Couch for a sitting area. |
| Wooden Couch | Floor | Seating decoration. Functional in co-op — guests can sit on it while you continue building. |
| Two Cushions | Floor | Small floor decorations. Free-form placement, no snap required. Good for filling gaps in a furnished room. |
