A Note From The Landlord RE: Witches
Anyone born with the ability to cast magic can be a witch. In the series, traditionally it only women, but I like the idea of both men and women being witches, so anyone born of witch parents can be a witch.Please comment with your own ideas and whether or not you like what I've got above.
Right Hand vs. Left Hand. Spellcasting can lead a witch down two paths: The path of good where magic is only cast with the right hand, or the path of badness/evil where the left hand is used to cast magic. Those that travel the path of Right Hand Magic are part of a coven, anyone that strays and walks onto the path of Left Hand Magic is excommunicated from their coven and their focus object taken from them.
Focus Objects. Because raw magic is powerful and unpredictable, witches use objects to focus their power such as charms or talismans. Such objects can be items like jewelry or other mundane objects that can be kept close by or on a witch's person that isn't easily lost. These objects are used to focus or filter their magic through when using magic.
