Category:Witches

A witch can be of male or female descent, there is no difference. A witch can only be born from a family of witches. The bloodlines are as old as time. Half-witches are possible but there is only a fifty-fifty percent chance that they will become a witch. A standard witch can conjure, brew potions, and cast spells but each witch has different strengths and weaknesses. What one witch will find easy another can find difficult. A witch’s power comes from the mana in their blood but can be amplified and concentrated through their crystal. The color and type of the crystal determines which ability is amplified (example--a red ruby will amplify fire abilities and a green crystal, depending on what type of stone, could aid with potion brewing or gardening spells) and each witch has a particular crystal that they are drawn to. Not all witches will immediately discover their crystal and several families have ancestral crystals passed down from one generation of witches to another. A witch can be good or evil and when they use their powers they become weaker and must replenish their strength. An evil witch is not necessarily stronger than a good witch, an evil witch is just willing to break the natural rules of the world. Witches are typically a member of a six-person covens and can perform magic as a group that is stronger than when they perform magic on their own. The witches of Crescent Cove, Maine founded the city in 1693. The founders traveled north all the way from Salem, Massachusetts to escape the tyranny of Puritan life and values. They were the innovators and new age thinkers of their time and with their talents, Crescent Cove bloomed. In the oldest part of the community, six families built their estates, each bordering their lands. After its founding, other families of witches migrated to Crescent Cove. Witches by nature typically remain in their ancestral villages but due to persecution, many families were uprooted and forced to move.
