Witches and Warlocks

"*Now, in reality, witches appear to cross every culture in history. They're the architects of the supernatural; responsible for everything that goes bump in the night from ghosts to vampires. The Italians call them Strega. The Yoruba of West Africa call them Aje, meaning mother. Where other witches are from, they called them Häxa. And here, we call them witch. Over the centuries, many have fought them and others fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally, they have been a force to be reckoned with. They could be anyone. Neighbor, coworker, man, woman. That's the problem: they're human, they're like everyone else. Most of them anyway.*"
—Oracle, about Witches
**Witches** or **Warlocks**, also called **The Servants of Nature**,**Wizards** or even **Sorcerers**, are a race of non-mortal, supernatural human beings who have gained magical powers and abilities to effect changes in reality through the practice of witchcraft and are gifted in the magic arts of witchcraft, sorcery, and wizardry, but those that study it are wiccans. By connecting with various sources of magic, witches can practice their craft in order to fulfill their duties as "Servants of Nature" to maintain balance within the world and combat the forces that disrupt the balance. A witch can be either female or male (male witches are known as warlocks), as they connect with the elements and forces of nature in order to practice sorcery. Witches live in secrecy and never reveal themselves due to the threat of exposure. While little is known about their abilities, a witch can attain eternal life by regularly absorbing human souls.

Beliefs in witchcraft, and resulting witch-hunts, are both found in many cultures worldwide, today mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa, and historically notably in Early Modern Europe of the 14th to 18th century, where witchcraft came to be seen as a vast diabolical conspiracy against Christianity, and accusations of witchcraft led to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Germanic Europe.

The "witch-cult hypothesis", a controversial theory that European witchcraft was a suppressed pagan religion, was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the mid-20th century, Witchcraft has become the self-designation of a branch of neopaganism, especially in the Wicca tradition following Gerald Gardner, who claimed a religious tradition of Witchcraft with pre-Christian roots.

## Magic

Magic is the power to affect change by supernatural means. Magic can often be split into light and dark, though depending on the situation may also be neutral. Magic is a genetic heredity that connects a person to the elements and forces of nature in order to practice witchcraft. The witchcraft in *The Old Ones: The Beginning of the Immortals* and *The Immortal Chronicles* consists of several types of magic. Magic that is practiced by different witches. They are considered the following:

* **Traditional Magic**: Traditional Magic is the most common form of witchcraft among modern witches. Traditional magic draws energy from the forces of Nature and may be used however the witch sees fit. Although traditional magic is very popular among the witchcraft community, it also very exhausting, due to the fact the witch is exerting their own energy. A witch who excessively practices traditional magic may experience symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, and minor nose bleeds. Ayana Bennett explained the limits of this power throughout the fulmination of The Old Ones Series, saying that if she pushed too hard when using traditional magic, it would push back.

* **Innate Magic**: A form of magic that taps into the internal resources of the witch. This type of magic is the most convenient and quickest to use, though a witch's energies are limited and can cause pain and discomfort for over-use. Because of this limitation, witches must learn to draw upon external sources of power to not tax upon their own abilities and therefore can only practice minor spells and feats of magic. As witches become more experienced their innate magic becomes stronger.

* **Channeling Magic**: A form of magic that involves utilizing the energies of the surrounding elements and celestial events. This magic is similar to spirit magic, however channeling usually taps into the power on Earth. Channeling magic can also allow a witch to tap into the power of another witch, however some sort of conduit (e.g. personal item) or connection (e.g. bloodline) is usually required to focus the specific energies.

* **Spirit Magic**: Spirit Magic draws on the power of the Spirits of Nature and dead witches, and may be used for either good or evil purposes. Unlike other forms of magic, a witch can only use Spirit Magic however the spirits see fit. If a witch abuses the magic bestowed upon them, the spirits may break the connection, preventing the witch from harnessing their power.

* **Dark Magic**: A form of magic draws upon malevolent powers and is fueled by the darkest aspects of witches themselves such as negative emotions and temptation. This magic is extremely powerful, seductive, and addictive as it has no boundaries. Despite it's free use, it defies the authority of the Spirits of Nature and though the spirits themselves cannot stop use, witches can be severely punished. Marie Bennett once practiced dark magic but was unpunished (though lost her magic later for abandoning her daughter Ayana), which liberated the terminates of who her daughter was and became fearful of all magic in general.

* **Expression**: Expression is an extremely powerful form of sorcery that draws on dark energy that is so malicious it would supposedly demolish the world if it were ever called into existence. The details and history of expression remain unknown; however according to a witch named Stella, the forces of expression are considered so powerful that many witches discredit it as magic, for it expands beyond the limitations of both ancient and modern witchcraft.

* **Ancestral Magic**: Ancestral Magic is a form of sorcery commonly used among the witches of New Orleans. Similar to Spirit Magic, this form of sorcery draws energy from the dead ancestors of a witch in a certain location and can be used however the spirits see fit. However, this power can only be harnessed from the location of where the witches died, meaning that should the witch abandon the area, they will be rendered powerless. This magic is dependent on "The Harvest ", a magical ritual occurring once every three centuries involving the sacrifice of four young witches chosen during a rite. They are left ignorant of their sacrifice right up until the final moments of their life. In the sequence by which they die each witch pass on their power to the remaining others. When the final sacrifice is made the magic returns their power to the earth and therefore the Ancestral Spirits as payment for them to continue supplying the magic to the witches of New Orleans. Though if a witch is left alive she will absorb all the immaculate power meant for the spirits and gain extra natural powers when compared to the average witch. Like Expression, if this magic isn't controlled it will consume the witch and cause them to harm those around them. Unless the ritual is completed all the witches of New Orleans will lose their power and cease to be witches.

* **Hoodoo and Voodoo**: Hoodoo and Voodoo are both spiritual belief systems based around the observance of Mother Nature and respect for the dead. Despite their similarities, there are differences between the two. Hoodoo is an African American system of magick, whereas voodoo is a religion. Contrary to most voodooist, hoodoo practitioners do not invoke loas (ancestral spirits), and instead use Catholic Saints to represent their guardians. Hoodoo practitioners also work with both hands; for benevolence and malevolence. The “bokors” as they are called in Haiti, and “root doctors”, as they are called in Louisiana, are also healers. Some characteristics of hoodoo magick include candle burning, the use of incenses, and also the use of Psalms from the Bible, and seals and talismans from the 6th and 7th book of Moses.

* **Sacrificial Magic**: Sacrificial Magic is a very powerful form of sorcery that is highly dependent upon the ritualistic sacrifices of supernatural creatures. Similar to expression, this form of sorcery draws its energy and the power of every supernatural creature that is sacrificed.

* **Kemiya**: Kemiya is a form of magic that was founded in Arabia that allows a witch to change the elemental foundation of an object and also allows them to imbue said creations with magic, thus creating a dark object. Kemiya is said to cross the boundary between magic and science; utilizing aspects of both.

## Genetics

While few have been shown to harness mystical energy and effectively practice magic, witches receive their magical power as a result of heredity. The offspring of two witches will almost always be witches. Though the probability of the offspring of a witch and a non-witch, or a mortal, being witches are reduced to the 50%. No further explanation has been given regarding the mechanics or heritable of these genetics, but it's likely the source of their magical power, or the necessary instructions to produce their magic

* Witches and Warlocks are not easy to take down. Despite their great powers, witches are still mortal humans, and can die just as easily as them, unless they use magic to enhance or protect themselves.
* **Iron:** It appears that some, of if not all, of a witch's powers can be blocked with iron.
* **Anti-witch Spell:** Once prepared, it kills any witch it hits, and makes it impossible for them to use magic to protect themselves. It has a very small range, as it killed one witch but left another who was standing only a few feet away unharmed.
* **Disbelief:** The act of denying or disbelieving in ones magical potential could cause a witch to inadvertently suppress their paranormal power.
* **Distraction:** Any person, substance, or thing that prevents a witch from giving full attention to their spells can hinder a witch from effectively practicing witchcraft.
* **Fear:** A distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the condition or feeling of being afraid could cause a witch to temporarily lose their powers.
* **Magic:** All creatures, including witches, are susceptible to the forces of witchcraft.
* **Mortality:** Based off the fact that witches are still human, they share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, etc.)
* **Overexertion/Overuse Of Magic:** The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death from overexertion.
* ==Types of WitchesEdit==

There are many kinds of Witches and Warlocks. A lot of the time, they are connected with a certain religion - though wiccan religions may vary - that is based around performing rituals and spells. In short, anyone (regular humans, even vampires and demons) can cast a spell and produce magic. However, those with experience and devoted understanding of magic are called wiccans.

### Wizards Edit

These are elder witches and warlocks. They are considered to be the leaders and masters of their own covens. As such, they possess great power and wisdom, with some being powerful enough to not only fight off, but destroymonsters, demons, and even other witches.

### Grand Witches Edit

Grand Witches, or Warlock, are a type of Sorcerers that are more powerful thank wiccans. They are basically the heads of their own witch covens, serving as second in command to the Wizards. Grand Witches possess the ability to shapeshift.

### Sorcerers Edit

These witches are no different from ordinary witches and warlocks but they are more powerful and are basically warrior versions of them. Similar to Wizards, Sorcerers wield great power, making them very powerful.

### Wiccans Edit

These kinds are the normal, common witches. Though they are powerful, they can be outmatched and overpowered by more powerful beings.

### Students

* These are witches and warlocks whose abilities had just awoken. They are people who obtain their power through practice and training. While these witches are commonly known to have been taught about witchcraft from other witches, it has been implied that some Students are self-taught.

Necromancers
