Grey Haven: The Witch Hut, School, and Sanctuary



In your dreams a vision comes to you showing a beautiful building on a riverside. The following day, a letter somehow makes it to you through the mail or whatever means you have to receive a letter.
_____

Hello! This may or may not sound odd, but you ,*recipient's name*, are a witch. Ones without magic power could not open this after all.

Where to start? Ahem, in the days past people have persecuted and killed because of the idea of Witchcraft. They fear the powers that a witch hold and rightly so, might I add. While not the sole source of magic in the world (there is devil worship, the Secret but not so secret Mages Academy and so on), Witches can hold one of the darkest of powers aside from those who sell their souls directly to the devil, the cause of common misconceptions that started witch hunts in many places long ago. Yet we can hold one of the brightest powers to lead through the darkest night. . .

This letter, addressed to you *recipient’s name* is to invite you to Grey Haven. At Grey Haven, you will learn of your heritage as a witch and help decide what you think your path in life is. Will you be a Black Witch or will you be a White Witch, or maybe even something entirely different. . . We shall teach you what you will need to know in order to attain the power you need and find the path you want. Attached is a black stone. If you agree to meet and join us repeat the words, ‘Adiungam societas et sorores‘ Pardon if the Latin is off, I’m a rough translator. Also, you might want to practice saying the words a few times not holding the stone. For good measure. You might turn into a frog otherwise.

-Love, L

Magic:

The first of a witches arsenal happens to be the elements themselves. The Greeks had it right and the sky's the limits as to what can be done with magic. It just has to happen within a specific attribute.









The next set is all things non-elemental. These can range from here to there and are considered mostly secondary type magics inside Witch Craft (though perhaps not true of other types of magic).













Every Witch has one element she is naturally good at (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth). It still takes work to master, however, and to it is recommended that each witch learn either Darkness type or Light type magic at the academy as the Matriarch encourages the paths of the White Witch and the Black Witch though there is the technicality of Green, Blue, Red and Yellow which represent the four elements. (Earth, Water, Fire and Air respectively).

Applications of magic:

Right, right. In my fictional world of fiction. . . Let's call it Earth. There are different types of magic. You have your "Holy" magic, Demonic, Arcane, and a few others that tend to be underused or overshadowed. They don't exactly practice in secret, yet not widely known. Holy magic is what you imagine it to be and Demonic is what you imagine it to be. For those of you with little imagination, think Priests and Clerics from almost any source and warlocks, summoning demons, fire and other things from any source as well. Arcane is sort of a midway between these two and what tends to keep them both in check. The Arcane school is the school that one would consider mages and other things of the sort.

By the way, if you wondered where exactly Witchcraft sat in this type of conflict. . . Well look the equation and take Witchcraft out of it completely.

Next, curses. . . Curses are fun. Curses stem from adrkness (intentional), like you said, but also require more than that as well. It depends on what kind of curse. Let's say we consider turning someone into a frog is a curse. That would require mastery over Darkness and Alteration.

More questions?

Yeah, moar questions.

Is the ability to use magic a 'gene'? Or is it something that can pop up from no where, even if no one in your family tree was able to use magic? Also, are there organizations that work to destroy magic/witches?

Furthermore, what of the development of familiars or summoned monsters? Do they come from another 'place'? Or are they 'created' through the mana of witches and whatevar? Also, do blood sacrifices and such strengthen magic?

And finally...pick a pic.

It's kind of a 'gene' but can pop up through families randomly. . . Or just lay dormant for generations.

ERode said

Some 'Holy' organizations consider them 'Demonic' and put Witches and Demonic Cults on the same level. There is no general magic hunting inquisition though.

Familiars are done differently through different methods. Some are summons now bound, others are created through magics. Blood Sacrifices is a 'Demonic' magic thing.

Umm, I'd like to think we've hit the cap, but I guess we can add another. I'm also holding a spot in case Ren decides to join our shenanigans. Also, alongside the student, does anyone want to be the Headmistresses assistant? We can have potentials duke it out in OoC then I can make my all knowing decision tomorrow.

Headmistress's assistant? Like secretary? Or Vice Principal?

EDIT: While I'm at it, I might as well ask...if there was a curse that involved slowly taking away the bodily functions of another person over the course of seven days, what would that involve? Basically, I want someone who develops some nasty curses.

Like, a personal assistant. Helps around with what Headmistress wants/needs done. Can be played out for comedic effect depending on what kind of assistant is made. I was just going to do it myself but thought I'd give the fun option in case someone wanted to. Otherwise, I'll just do it all myself.

Umm...Nothing a student would be able to do ANY time soon. That much is for sure.

Nope. I'm blind without my glasses. ;P

So long as it's not used against any of the Haven the Headmistress wouldn't care too much. . . I'd need to think on reqs.

Witchcraft is a separate magic from Demonic, right?

Kay.

Was thinking of something along the lines of...

Magical Demonic Delinquent Girl who rides around leading a motorcycle gang and wrecking havoc whereever she goes.

Tamed by the power of love, she gets rid of her past and seeks the relatively gentler arts of Witchcraft.

Eventually finds a decent job in a private all-girls school.

Still knows way too many dark and M-rated curses.
