Guardians of Balance - Witches

[CUPCAKE]

The legend of Scriptor Bay is a unique one, full of wonder and incredulity. Not all who hear it believe in it, but there are a handful of people who believe the stories to be true, and I don’t mean the Guardians. When the tree opened up so many years ago to set things right, it disturbed the balance of nature. There were alien forces there that should not have existed in this dimension and our world needed to find a way to cope with the disruption in nature, and find a way to reestablish the balance once more.

But how could nature possibly do that, you might ask! There is a part of the story that is often overlooked. A part that is often kept quiet, for only a few people knew how nature had rejected the Guardians, even though they had come to mend the tree and the world around it. When the tree was closed, and the evil was locked away once more, the tree was scarred. The leaves did not grow back immediately and for many years it remained barren and seemingly dead. The natives often prayed to their Gods to heal the tree, for it to bring them joy and prosperity once more. It took time but the God’s heard their pleas and answered their prayers.

Many years after the tree closed it began to sprout vegetation once more. The process was a slow one, but that spring the tree was full of color and brimming with life. That was the only year the tree produced flowers.

The flowers were small and white with deep purple centers. The pollen that flowed from them spread throughout the land, leaving a purple layer of dust on everything within a mile of the beautiful white flowers. It’s said the humans changed after that spring. The natives were more in touch with the land and found that they could do things with herbs they had been unable to do before. The white people found they could do things that could only be explained as magic.

Of course this is all hear say. There’s no such thing as Guardians, and there’s absolutely no such thing as magic!

…right?

Elementalists

The Rules - No magic that isn't natural. This includes Necromancers, Mind readers, time manipulators.

All magic comes from nature, it is just manipulated in different ways. Through chants mainly. One witch is weak, but a group of them working together can be quite powerful. Try to keep it within limits and realistic. One witch cannot make a building explode. But three of them might be able to blow up a section of a building.

There may be future plots where different magic may be possible. But unless it is specified for a plot please follow the rules as we don't want to have a bunch of Voldemorts running around, ruling Scriptor Bay with their tyranny.

Levels - Depending on the level of witch that you are your abilities may be better. Chanting for instance, is not required for a higher level witch for minor tasks. But it doesn't hurt to make a spell stronger.

Special Abilities:

Elemental Power - This unique group is capable of mastering different elemental powers over time. It's a slow process, but through dedication and hard work they're able to manipulate one elemental power almost to perfection. Because of how difficult it is to perfect any given element, they can only have one that they're best with. i.e. fire or water, but not both. This doesn't mean that they can't work other elemental abilities, just that they won't be experts at them.

Strength in Numbers - A single elementalist may be able to set fire to a newspaper stand, but a group of elementalists can blow it up. This type of witch is better when there is more power around them. So hold hands, chant, and send that ice cream truck sky high!

The Magic Words - An elementalist doesn't just look at something and it blows up. In most cases a chant, spell, summons, etc. has to be said for something to happen. It doesn't have to be shouted at the top of their lungs for all to hear but it should be said whether it be whispered, muttered, or just casually saying it while sitting around an unlit candle. Each person's chanting will be unique to them.


Other FACTS:

Weaknesses – Like everyone else, this group has their weaknesses. But their weaknesses are human. They get sick the same way as humans, hurt emotionally and physically.

Procreation – Well, they're basically human. So they can do the deed the same as everyone else.

Human/Elementalist Child? – Magic runs through bloodlines. So if an elementalist and a human were to make a child, then there is a 50/50 chance. However, the further away from the natural bloodline you go the weaker the elementalist will be.

Elementalist/Geomancer Child? - If two different types of witches have a child then the magic they will inherit will be determined by the sex. If the father is a Geomancer and the mother an Elementalist and they have a baby boy then he will be a Geomancer. So if it's a boy they take the father's magic, if it's a girl they take the mother's magic. Pretty simple.

Geomancers

The Rules - Basically there is no powerplaying. If your Geomancer creates a strong sleeping potion and you want to have another member's character drink it, then please be sure to either ask the other member beforehand or make sure in your post you keep it open so they are able to decide.

DO: Ray watched Osiris and tried to slip a pinch of nightlock into his beverage hoping that he didn't see.

DON'T: Ray watched Osiris and slipped a pinch of nightlock into his beverage then watched as he drank it.

Levels - This is the same as Elementalists. Higher levels don't have to chant, and their potions are far more potent.

Special Abilities:

Natural Alchemists - Geomancers are closer to the earth than the other group is. This means they have to use herbs, flowers and other natural resources for their magic. Their magic is done through potions, brews and chanting.

Green Thumb - For this group growing flowers and herbs is second nature for them. They can talk to their garden and feel its energy all around them. It would be silly to find a Geomancer who didn't have their own garden, whether it be big or small.

The Magic Words - Similar to the other group, Geomancers can also perform spells by chanting. But their chants need the help of nature. i.e. Sally wants to bind Jack's wings so he can't fly away, she needs to have the proper herbs in hand and do her chant. Without the proper herbs to give her power the boost it needs the chant won't work.
