What are they?:
In general witchcraft is sorcery, the magical manipulation of the supernatural forces through the use of spells, and the conjuring or invoking of spirits.
Anthropologists refer to witchcraft as the use of malevolent powers by psychic means without the need for ritual or charm. This is so for the days of the Inquisition but not for the contemporary western world where witches work magic through spells.
Witchcraft involves the use of supernatural powers such as shape-shifting, clairvoyance, invisibility, flying, the ability to kill at a distance and astral projection.
During the middle ages and the renaissance, it was defined as evil magic, heresy and devil-worship. Contemporary witchcraft has redefined it as a reconstructed form of Pagan religion that worships the Goddess and horned god and has no connection with Christianity or the devil. It also only used for good rather than for harmful use.
The inquisition was not a persecution of witches as believed by contemporary popular belief it was actually the persecution of heretics and enemies of the church.
Description:
Simply saying these creatures look exactly like humans. Most like being outcasts from the human population seeing how when they get angered like most people do they tend to cast spells which is never really good. Some witches and warlocks were black clothing, also there hair turns black because of casting spells even if there simple spells but have been used over the ages. These creatures can live older longer then humans and hardly change at all. This is because of energy coming out of the earth with is what magical humans use. These people are also very much animal people.
How To Become One:
Every human has a bit of magic in them just not everyone can use more then the simple casting spells. about 1/10 of every human being can actually cast a spell that's not a simple one though not many people know they can cast spells. In order to do spells you really would have to be trained from a witch or warlock themselves. Though it is not unlikely for a person and there friend to somehow figure spells out themselves.
How To Kill One:
- Spells
- Burning
- Hanging ((though they might put a curse on you so its better not to do this))
- shooting ((though they can teleport with words and move bullet so also not a good idea))
