Witch

> "*The thing about witches is that you can never tell which is good or bad since the world is only filled with the bad, so basically witches are your average day of con artist, playing scams to get into your precious treasures and then stabbing you in the back. Watch yourself down there.*"

Witches are a group of individuals who study and practice the nature of magic. They are in fact humans who gained the powers from magic external sources and then is later passed onto new generations that gin natural magic powers, while some borrow it from denizens of Hell. Witches are known for being centuries old, learning how to become immortals.

## Classifications

There are three class of witches described by Grand Covens. Alice Kyteler names the following are the commons, Borrowers, the strongest and rarest, the Naturals, and finally the are the Students.

### The Borrowers

As the name suggest, these classes of witches are probably the weakest since they were not naturally born with magic powers as they required to ask from external sources to be granted magical powers, however they are limited of performing levels of spells and rituals. The powers are borrowed from denizens of Hell by selling their souls or give in something of precious value.

### The Naturals

Natural witches are those who were born from inheriting their parents or somehow those born with magic and the one and only witch to find out they can draw magic from the physical universe is Alice Kyteler, the First Witch. They are very power, being able to perform high level of magic spells and rituals that can harm individuals who possesses even greater might than them.

### The Students

Students are common humans that are taught the practices of witchcraft by other witches. They in truth possess no natural powers, so it requires time and practice to be able to conjure witchcraft.

## Community

A Coven is a community or gathering for all witches to celebrate holidays, ceremonies for worships, practices of witchcraft, orgies, and more. There are many covens ruled by different witches that upholds different laws and punishment to their members. The number of witches that it takes to lead a coven can vary. The ideal number is thirteen but mostly at least three witches to run a coven.

## Powers and Abilities

A witch's power does not depend on their heritage of magic but their level of knowledge and how well their training in magic. A witch who borrows powers are among the weakest class of witches as they must rely on the powers granted by demon and have limit of what they can perform. Those who are natural and highly experience are able to even topple over those above them such as immobilizing those powerful as Archangels. Which are very unpredictable, thus being among one of the dangerous supernatural beings in the world.
