Newb Guide to Witches and Wiccans

[Sue Mett]

Witches are:

• Dangerous to vampires
  
• Very formidable and very powerful
  
• Control magical forces, which everyone is tied to
  
• Practice magical rituals
  
• A witch's powers are drawn from a source that most people never tap into
  
• Wiccans follow a pagan religion
  
• Wiccans follow the ways of 'The Mother'
  
• Wiccans have their own calendar of holy days
  
• You may be a witch and a wiccan
  
• A witch's actions are viewed as ok as long as they don't hurt anyone else
  
• A coven is a group of pagans who worship together
  
• In order to use a tracking spell, you need to find a hair or clothing that bears the scent of who you are attempting to find
  
• Witchcraft is meant to be organic
  

There are five different levels of being a witch. Every witch and wiccan begins at level one and as you develop your character, you may obtain different levels.

Level One:

• Know spells to find a better way to live
  
• Can cast spells to become in touch with the natural world
  
• Their spells can increase inner peace
  
• Everyone begins here

Level Two:

• You can turn alcohol bad
  
• Cast location spells to find someone (does not work on the dead)
  
• Mess with pluming
  
• Basically you can mess around with material concepts such as locations, beverages and food and electricity/plumbing but you cannot cause damage to someone
  
• You can also do what level 1's can do
  
• Must have at least 100 posts

Level Three:

• You can toy with people's muscles and make them fall over
  
• You can booby trap yourself to make sure you are not attacked
  
• You can mess with physical concepts, such as attacking someone, but unless you tear their muscles and cause them to collapse on something dangerous, you can't kill them, you can only hurt them
  
• You also have levels 1 and 2 powers
  
• Must have at least 300 posts

Level Four:

• You can relocate people
  
• You can toy with memories and keep your's from being able to be read
  
• Basically you mess with people's minds and keep your's protected
  
• You have the same powers as 1-3 levels
  
• You must have at least 600 posts

Level Five:

• You may have one power: telekinesis, pyrotechnics, invisibility and such
  
• You HAVE to say a spell when you do this, you cannot simply create fire by snapping your fingers, snap and say something smarter than Abra Kadabra
  
• Your power as a witch increases and you can do all that level 1-4s can do
  
• You must have over 1000 posts.

PLEASE NOTE: Witches and Wiccans are different, witches are all for the power, Wiccans follow the Wicca religion. Each wiccan or witch belongs to a coven and each coven is organized just as a werewolf pack is organized and an area of vampire land is organized. Drinking vampire blood, although this makes you stronger and more dangerous, it must be accepted by an admin before you may make your witch or wiccan that strong.

Not that I'm dissing your guide, 'cus it's really good and thought out, but what about other spells and such. Not that I'm trying to pregnant dog or make more work for you, but the rules on each level seem very specific, what about other spells and such that aren't mentioned?

Sorry, I'm parallelling the magicks with Willow from Buffy and Charlainne Harris - the witches in the books are rarely mentioned and I use Willow as a template for my magick characters - when it's applicable. Am i blabbering too much or do you get what I'm saying?

[Sue Mett]

I understand what you are asking, don't worry. If you read them again, I have a much more broad spectrum of things you may do. Take for example, level one is limited to spells for inner peace. Level two is limited to spells that

Basically you can mess around with material concepts such as locations, beverages and food and electricity/plumbing but you cannot cause damage to someone

Level three is

You can mess with physical concepts, such as attacking someone, but unless you tear their muscles and cause them to collapse on something dangerous, you can't kill them, you can only hurt them

Level four is

Basically you mess with people's minds and keep your's protected

Those are basic outlines defined by the book's mentioning of it. So when it is said that you can twist people's muscles, it means you can do them physical harm without killing them. So if Willow (sorry, I never watched the show), can use a spell to pull out all of someone's hair, then that would fall under the physical attack but not killing, so that would be a level three. Or level two, how it says you can mess with locations and materials, so it's not just limited to making alcohol go bad, you can even turn a floor super slippery and then someone can fall, but since you are only a level two, you cannot actually hurt them, only do things to their surroundings that may hurt.

Since you are level two, almost level three, just a bit more posting, then you can mess with any material object or location wise. You cannot summon something, but you can find something that is lost, like how the girls in Charmed use the map and the crystal above the map to find where someone is. Also, you can do what level ones' can do, so you may also cast spells to increase your inner peace.

Does that make sense?

[Kyle Summers]

Yeah, that's better now Sure, if I ever power play or whatever just tell me

[Sue Mett]

Sure thing, thank you for asking first.
