Witch

Witches and Warlocks are beings with magical powers. With these powers, they can change events of nature through the use of witchcraft. However, it is said that whenever witchcraft is performed, nature will always find it's balance.

History of Witches

Name Calling
Witches and Warlocks refer to humans as "mortals". Those who come from "mixed-blood" lineage (meaning one human parent) are brutally called "half-breeds" and those who are "royals" (a purely magical family) are called "full witches".

Birthmarks
A witch is indistinguishable from mankind. However, once a witch goes "dark" they either grow a blonde or lighter streak of hair. However an example would be after Reuben's baptism, his hair was a lighter brown, and a changed to a dark brown once he excepted his nature as a warlock.

Stated by Father Blackwood a witch can be determined if he or she has a birthmark on their right shoulder, should this not be found, it is possible that they aren't witches at all.
