Warlocks or Wiccans are a breed of supernaturals with the ability to use elements of magic. Their female counterparts are witches.

Overview

Like witches, warlocks have rivaled against faes.

Culture

The Wicca Council governs warlocks and witches.

Warlocks often form covens with the leader being considered the "High Priestess". Warlocks are Wiccans and worship the Goddess. Warlocks are the species that succeed best at conforming to the human world because their lifestyles are easier to blend with the human lifestyle. They are also not involved in as many gangs as some other species that cause problems for humans. Few covens live in groups.

Honorary swords are given to warlocks who have shown strong integrity and an abundance of magic.

History

Centuries ago, witches set off the Black Plague to try to annihilate the faes.

In the late 17th century, during the historic Salem witch trials, a group of warlocks felt threatened by the witch hunts and betrayed their wives by telling the townsfolk they were witches to avoid being detected as warlocks. As a result, these warlocks were excommunicated by the Wiccan society and forced to live individually. As the centuries went by, their descendants started looking for and capturing powerful witches to make them conceive powerful offspring and build an army to take down the Wicca Council. However, the coven was defeated by the combined effort of Miranda Kane, Zander, and Jeremiah Makepeace in 2016.

Powers and Abilities

Warlocks and witches usually cast spells while waving their pinky fingers. While spell casting and potion making are their most common skills, they are also gifted with special abilities such as transformation, elemental control, and other various magical powers. A warlock's power can also manifest individually, similar to faes.

Default
Individual

Individual warlocks have different gifts depending on their skill and lineage.

The following powers are extremely rare and nearly impossible to use through spell casting.

Weaknesses

A witch's magic is controlled by practicing the craft. They need specific knowledge in potion making, such as how to extract an ingredient's best quality and how to mix an elixir for it to work properly. Regarding spell casting, they need to have a clear image of what they want their spells to do and come up with a proper rhyme. Should they be distracted or think of something else, the spells may bring about unexpected results.

A witch can also conjure up objects by twitching their pinky fingers, but just like with spell casting, they need to have a clear image of what it is they want to create.

To reverse a spell, a witch needs to know exactly what she said in order to figure out how to reverse it.

Their powers can be neutralized by a Black Spell. Witches can also transfer another witch's power to themselves by killing the targeted witch in a ritual.
