So you're ready to get to work on your new Witch? Perfect! Here's some things you should know about powers and abilities in the world of Salem Academy.


You see, all witches are born with a few common abilities (other than spell craft) that come natural to them as they age and mature. You'll find yourself waking up with the ability to move objects with your mind, or perhaps even bring your pet hamster back from the dead! This is all very common amongst witches. Sadly however, you don't get to chose which of these wonderful abilities you are born with. Tho, we've developed a system to make it realistic for which abilities you do have (Some are rarer than others after all.)

Extremely Common

"The ability to manipulate objects with the power of the mind."

Most all witches seem to have the ability to move things with their mind! A simple flick of the wrist and you have that knife hurdling across the room! Now lifting a bus.. That takes a little more practice!

Uncommon

"The ability to move instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between."

Not many witches seem to just HAVE Transmutation! The ability to travel from one place to the other without ever stepping foot in between comes over time and practice! It's very dangerous to use without learning about it beforehand! One things about this ability is that you can only travel to places in your direct line of sight!

Uncommon

"The Extra-Sensory awareness of things including, objects and people."

Those young witches Blessed with Divination are keen to their sixth sense. They can feel where an object is, or just seem to know an odd bit of information without ever needing to learn it by physical means!

Extremely Rare

"The ability to impose one's will onto another. Also known as Mind Control."

One of the most dangerous and most powerful abilities of all.. Concilium is used through the mind to make those weaker than you heed to your every order. It should never be taken lightly and is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. The Power of Mind control is extremely watched out for by the Coven!

Common

"The ability to set objects of people on fire through the concentration of psychic power."

Pyrokinesis is another common ability among our kind! With this, any witch can bend the power of flames around them. They can summon a spark with a snap of their fingers or perhaps light a candle across the room? With practice some witches may be able to light the air around them on fire! But be warned, Pyrokinesis doesn't mean flame retardant!

Uncommon

"The balancing of the scales of life between ones life force and another"

Vitalum Vitalis. The ability to manipulate the scales of life itself! This gift gives one the opportunity to do a noble deed, or an evil one. You can drain the life force of another to fuel your own and heal yourself, or give up part of yours to save anothers life!

Extremely Rare

"Spiritual descent into the netherworld or afterlife."

Perhaps one of the most dangerous abilities known to our kind. Descensum allows you to leave your body for a few moments and descend into the fields of hell. There you will face your own personal punishment. A small plane of held designed to torment you specifically! If you can make your way out, then your astral form is free to take on an astral form or perhaps commune with forces beyond our own. But be warned, if you do not return to your body by sunrise of the next morning, your physical body will be destroyed and you'll spend the rest of your days in your own personal hell.



But those are only some of the abilities all witches can learn and master. There are a few unique traits that only few witches have...


Ressurgence (Must be applied for)
" Returning oneself or others from the dead to full life. It is powerful enough to heal the skin of burnt corpses and even fuse limbs not previously attached to the body. The power is useless if the body is in too many pieces. Not to be confused with the Resurrection Spell which can be done by any witch that performs the ritual and incantation, often with undesirable results in accordance with the witches power and adherence to the spell. Nor is it the same as the Voodoo power of Necromancy which creates mindless zombies. "

Injury Transference (Must be applied for)
" Traumatic physical injuries sustained can be sympathetically transmuted to the body of another, chosen by the caster, along with the pain of the injury. Also referred to as "Human Voodoo Doll". "

Black Widow (Must be applied for)
" Causes fatal hemorrhage by coitus. Also referred to as "killer vagina". More like a congenital curse than a power. "

Power Negation (Must be applied for)
" Cancelling out someone else's magic or voodoo curse temporarily. "

The Sight (Must be applied for)
" The ability to see significant visions of the past and future[3] through touch, applies to people and materials in a series of visions or premonitions. Described as the most powerful ability to have and the most painful to live with. "

Clairvoyance (Must be applied for)
" An ability that can manifest as the power to read the minds of others, commonly known as telepathy. "

More TBA




NOW! When applying for your character, you should look to the second list and pick ONE of those abilities to be born with. The abilities from the first list will be assigned to you. Tho worry not! If you don't get the powers you want at first, you will find that you have opportunity to gain all seven from the first list at some point! The second list however, is a one time offer.
