## Classifications of Witches

### Good Witches

Good Witches, also known as the Maidens of Luela, are Ozians who pratice Luelan Magic. Good Witches act as guardians and protectors of Oz and its people. However, there aren't many Good Witches in Oz at the moment. Good Witches are able to tap into Luelan Magic via their worship to Luela, a member of the immortal Fae-Rah race.

#### Known Good Witches

* Glinda Callista
* Jellia Jamb

### Wicked Witches

Wicked Witches, also known as Demons, are Ozian Witches who use Wicked Magic. Wicked Magic was created by Roquat, a member of the Fae-Rah who had gone rogue. Wicked Magic poisons the body, the mind, and the soul and instills within the spellcaster a very insatiable bloodlust. A bloodlust for carnage and chaos.

#### Known Wicked Witches

* Gaylette
* Calandrea Callista

### Lesser Witches

Lesser Witches, also known as Bushfolk, are magic users who reside in the forests of Oz. Having exiled themselves from society, they get their power through worshipping Zurline, the Fae-Rah of nature and animals. No Lesser Witches have appeared in the *Tales of Oz* series so far.
