Witch's Spellbook:
Basic Spells
Weak Telekinesis - "movere" - Most witches have no trouble learning the ability to move light-weight objects into the air or wherever they please with their sheer will. There is no need to speak the latin word after using it for some time. Usually only up to ten pounds worth of weight can be moved at the basic level.
Protection - "praesidium" - This spell can be used to manipulate the magnetic field around any area in a couple ways. At the basic level, salt can be placed around the area you wish and then once the word is chanted, you may create an invisible barrier to whatever creature(s) you please.
Growth - "incrementum" - This spell is used to influence the growth of cells. It can be used to influence hair growth, the growth of plants or to make mild wounds heal faster.
Cloaking - "corium" - A witch will become invisible to those around her at the utterance of these words or, if practiced enough, at will. For beginners, this will only last 30 seconds. At the intermediate level, depending on how far along, it can last 5-10 minutes while advanced witches can do it up to an 30 minutes.
Change - "mutatio" - Hair color, make up color, or even the color of your clothes can be changed with this spell. You can even change the color of furniture or other things around you. However, it's difficult to pick what color you get.

Levitation - "volant" - This allows you to levitate up to a foot off the ground. It's fairly easy.
Dream-watching - "et portas somnia aperi mihi"" - With skin contact and consent, you can watch someone's dream.
Minor Illusion by @Tae - "deceptionem" - This spell is used to recreate a sound or smell.
Illusory Script by @Tae - "Lumina solis electis" - You write on paper and imbue it with magic so that only you or someone you allow can see the message. It can be revealed with a dispel magic spell. You must use a lead-based ink to cast this spell.

The speed, agility, size, shape and even colour are all variable in accordance with the witch’s ability. The messenger can be intercepted by a more powerful or skilled witch.
Intermediate Spells
After mastering most basic spells and training for at least 5 years, you will be able to perform these by chanting the words. It will get a few years still for you to be able to do this without the words. Children are not taught spells until they turn 16. Most start to get to the intermediate level between ages 20-23.
The basic following spells are stronger for those with intermediate skills:

Protection - "praesidium" - You can put protection spells on your house, and seal off entries and gateways without the need of salt.
Empathy - "in mentem" - Reading the emotions of others around you is not overwhelming no longer.
Dream-walking - "et portas somnia aperi mihi"" - You may walk and interact in another's dream temporarily with their consent.

Then they must chant this over and over quietly until they open their eyes and can stand up from their body.

This can only be done for a very short time before you risk being separated from your body permanently. You may also encounter danger on this plane of existence.

Enchant - "fascinare hoc telum ad como quæ ego sum in mente" - You can enchant a weapon or object to have certain qualities: resistance to fire or bullets for example. To do so, you must bathe the weapon in what you want it to be resistant towards or for it to have imbued into it and chant this until the object lights up.
Duplicate by @Tae - "Speculum mihi" - This spell creates three duplicate illusions of yourself in your same space. You can move them in the direction of your choice, but they also mimic all your movements and speaking. If they are attacked they will dissipate immediately.

Youth - "ad redigendum effectus et anni mei, retorsum converti et horologium" - This can be used to pause one's aging process or even turn-back the effects of aging to appear young again. This can be done to other witches. Head witches will often have this done to younger witches if they have done well in their studies as an award to allow them to keep their youthful beauty. This requires a ritual. This also allows them to live for many years if they can avoid death.

Fear by @Tae - "Ostendam summum metum" - You create a phantasmal image of the person's greatest fear. It can’t harm the person, but they won’t know that as it looks entirely real. You need the heart of a hen for this spell.
Light magic wielding - "Summone lux" - Light magic could be summoned as a force used to defend oneselves in the form of orbs and such. It can come in personalized colors and can give mild burns to foes as well as pushing them backward if hit. Some intermediate magic users can do this if taught well.

Boundary Ward by @jetipster - "Cingo terminus" - a boundary ward set to repel basic magicks and provide a basis on which other magicks can be attached e.g. detections, alarms, repels, defences, illusions, etc.
Forbidden Spells
These spells bring negative energy. Your personality often changes for the worse as you use them more and more. It is the curse of dark magic. They require at least intermediate skill for most.
Love - "hanc cor meum, quod certamen haec duo" - This could be used to make someone fall in love with you or whoever you choose for a short amount of time. It is highly forbidden, requires more than one witch and extremely against witch law. You will need something special to both subjects of the spell and the heart of frog.
Necromancy - "vivifica quid erat iterum periit" - This could only be used to revive those that have passed within the last twelve hours. Any time after that is too long passed. It is extremely against the witch law and against the laws of nature. Your soul will surely darken. You will need to do a ritual involving drawing symbols in dirt, lighting candles, and the heart of a living being that matches the species of that what has died to offer sacrifice to replace what was lost. Sometimes the one you revive may not come back the same.
Mind read - "Fiat mihi in mentem autem (insert name here)" - This will allow you to read someone's thoughts for about a minute. You will need a belonging with their energy. This is considered against witch law for being too invasive and dark a notion. It could be used to cheat on tests and in many occasions in life. Your head will ache painfully for hours after.
Curses and Hexes - "Et invenietis industria tenebris vos (insert name here)" - This can be used to curse or hex another witch or human. Witches and werewolves are immune to this. This will bring them bad luck for a few hours or cause them to fall ill. It's obvious why this is bad. You will need to make a doll of them with something that belongs to them incorporated.
Dark energy wielding - "Summone obscurum" - This could be used to manifest dark energy as a matter to defend yourself with by attacking people with it or hiding yourself in it. You can even manipulate others' shadows. It is looked down upon to associate yourself with dark magic; it takes a toll on you.
Shapeshift- "Cum hoc celia et facti sunt vos" - If you make a brew, you can drink it and have the illusion of taking another's appearance on for the hour. The brew must contain a lock of their hair, a teardrop, an item with their scent on it, a picture of it and something of sentimental value to the witch.
Speak with Dead by @Tae- "Invenies tua, et veni ultra velum intrabit in vasculo muliebri spiritu"- You call upon those that have past on to speak for a short time. They possess the witches body for a short time, using them as a conduit. You can call upon a specific spirit, but there is no guarantee that it will be the spirit that comes. The odds of the correct spirit appearing is increased if you use the blood of a relative to cast the spell. Either way blood is required for the spell.
You guys may add more basic spells into the roleplay that are non-offensive; spells that are just to add convenience and fun. Just put them into suggestions especially if offensive. More offensive skills will need drawbacks and to be nerfed as much as possible...All magic comes with a price.
Details about places in discord. Any small buildings unnamed in discord, which are many, can be any commercial lot of choosing from mcdonalds to a clothing store etc.
Road 68
If you go down this road straight for about a half hour and make a turn down a barely noticeable road towards what appears to be a gated, private community, you'll find it's occupants a bit strange. Not many people venture here and those who do don't make it out. This small town was taken over by the vampire clan Vie Et Mort.
Road 69
This is a very long road through wooded areas and plains. After an hour's worth of travel, about 50 miles in, if you make turn down a dirt trail, you'll find the gated entrance to a very large facility where you will be told to turn back. This is where Operation Humanity can be found.
