Witches are mortals who learn their magic,rather than being born with it,as Mystics are. They can learn it in solitary,from books,or from other witches. There are even some Mystics who are willing to teach witches. There can be several covens within the city,or one can choose to be a solitary practitioner. There is no one set group for the witches of the city. Further than that,the powers of a witch are based on the witch him/herself.
The strength of a witch is determined by how much they practice a skill. This would be noted as a number of strength such as this:
Pyromancy - 2
This indicates that a witch has achieved the second skillset of Pyromancy,out of three. This can be determined either by a coven member,or by themselves,if they are solitary. Note,however,that to determine as solitary can be inaccurate,and a coven witch may actually be stronger than a solitary witch.
Witches are nearly always elemental,and they will draw the abilities to heal,protect,etc. from their chosen element. A witch can become well-versed in all elements,though they will always have one that they are best at,for it meshes the best with their own personality.
Powers:
Pyromancy
1 - conjure fire in hand
2 - conjure fire by mind
3 - control movement and containment of fire
Aquamancy
1 - conjure water in hand
2 - conjure water by mind,ability to heat/cool liquid
3 - control state of water (gas/solid/liquid)
Terramancy
1 - manipulate organic materials (plants/soil)
2 - create organic materials,manipulate living organisms (animals)
3 - converse with living organisms,manipulate large portions of organic materials (i.e. ability to cause earthquakes)
Aeromancy
1 - manipulate wind
2 - constrict/release air
3 - manipulate density of air (some may be able to make themselves/objects fly)
Note that anything a witch does with their powers should be reasonable. For instance,reasonable would be a witch with Aeromancy manipulating the density of air,if they've attained the third skillset,to apply pressure to a bleeding wound. Unreasonable is a Terramancy witch supposedly making the earth cave in around a person to just make it bury them. You make a big hole in the ground,it's going to leave a big hole.
Extreme emotion can make a witch do something above their skillset,but only on RARE occasions.
