Witch
Witches or Wiccans are a breed of supernatural with the ability to use elements of magic. Their male counterparts are warlocks.
Overview
They are seemingly more connected to the human breed than most other species. They are known to rival against faes.
Culture
Witches and warlocks have a Wicca Council that polices their actions.
Witches often form covens with the leader of the coven being considered the "High Priestess" or "High Priest". Witches are Wiccans and worship the Goddess. Witches are the species that succeed best at conforming to the human world. Fewer covens actually live in groups. Their lifestyles are easier to blend with the human lifestyle. They also aren't involved in as many supernatural gangs that cause problems for humans.
When witches pinky swear, they feel a tingling sensation in their fingers. Miranda remarks it is one of the most unbreakable vows a witch can make.
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 as outcasts, whereas a small branch of witches known as mystics was born. Their psychic powers exceeded far beyond those of regular witches and they could easily communicate with witches for their protection.
As the centuries went by, the warlocks' descendants started looking for and capturing powerful witches to make them conceive powerful offspring and build an army to take down the Wicca Council. In 2016, the coven was defeated by the combined effort of Miranda Kane, Zander and Jeremiah Makepeace.
Powers and Abilities
Witches and warlocks 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 witch's power can also manifest individually, similar to faes.
- Default
- Individual
The powers listed below belong to individual witches and may vary depending on the person.
The following powers are extremely rare and difficult to use for regular witches.
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.
Personality Traits Index
