A WITCH UTILIZES THE DIVINE MAGIC OF NATURE TO FUEL THEIR SPELLS AND THEIR FEARSOME HEXES, BUT THEY AREN'T ALONE. IN ORDER TO DELVE HIT P
DEEPER INTO THE LOST MAGIC OF NATURE, THEY FORM COVENS. THESE COVENS GUIDE NEW WITCHES TO BECOME MORE POWERFUL, AND IF IT IS
REQUIRED, TO KEEP THEIR MEMBERS IN CHECK. Proficienc
EVERY WITCH IS ON A PERSONAL JOURNEY, THIS COULD BE SEEKING ANCIENT RELICS, UNLOCKING THEIR INNER POWER OR EXPLORING THE MULTIVERSE ARMOR:
FOR MEANING IN LIFE AND DEATH. REGARDLESS OF WHAT A WITCH IS SEARCHING FOR, THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE ANCIENT SECRETS OF WEAPONS:
THE SUPERNATURAL AND SUPERSTITION. THE POWER OVER THE BELIEFS IS KNOWN AS HEXES, AN ANCIENT STYLE OF MAGIC, THAT USES POWERFUL TOOLS:
SUGGESTIONS TO CAUSE PAIN, HEAL THE INJURED OR PROTECT THOSE THAT A WITCH HOLDS DEAR. THIS STRANGE MAGIC IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD AND
SAVING
OUTRIGHT BANNED IN THE MORE CIVILIZED LANDS, FORCING COVENS TO OPERATE IN THE SECRET AND IN DARK FORESTS.
