Witches

Witches are women with magic and the ability to cast spells. Their male counterparts are wizards.

Description
Witches are female mortals born with magic and can use this magic to cast spells, enchantments, charms and curses. Not all humans are capable of performing witchcraft like Queen Chartreuse. The gift of magic is hereditary. The most famous example is the royal female line of Greater Greensward. Males with the same gift are known as wizards. However a man cannot inherit a witch's powers and vice versa. Greater Greensward's royal female line has only ever had witches so only females have ever been born with magic. The same applies to wizards. Witch and wizard ancestry means that men and women have equal chance of having magic.

Physical Description
As humans, witches appear no different than humans, with the exception of a few. Most witches wear drab, dark colours but others like Emma and her aunt Grassina wear lots of colours, particularly green. Some witches use magic to enhance their appearance or conjure otherworldly gowns for special events.
