Witch
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Witches gain their magic not through study or devotion, but through pacts with powerful, often mysterious patrons - which is also known as Pact Magic.
These patrons, who can be anything from divine beings to Hag or Fey lords, communicate through the witch's familiar, granting them spells and unique abilities called hexes. While some witches understand their patron's nature, others remain unaware or even fearful.
Patrons are often categorized by their influence and witches with a strong connection to their patron, known as invokers, can often spontaneously cast spells.
While witches are found throughout Theras, they are most prevalent in the Wych Lands of Hexadömonir or in Sakru. Elsewhere, they often live in seclusion, serving as hermits or advisors, and frequently conceal their true nature due to widespread prejudice stemming from the actions of malevolent witches.
