Spells

One of the most obvious characteristics of a witch, is their ability to cast spells; a "spell" being the word used to signify the means employed to carry out a magical action. A spell could consist of a ritual action, a set of words, a verse, or any combination of these. Although majority of the spells are spoken in the native language of the witch, some spells require the use of other languages, such as Latin. A spell is a series of words that when said in a certain order causes change in the fabric of reality to varying extents. It is a ritual intended to produce a magical effect. In order to be effective, it must be performed by a magical being.

The act of performing a spell ritual is known as "casting the spell". Witches traditionally record their spells, both for their own reference, and to preserve them for posterity.

Spells can be non-verbal and can also be channeled and used by powerful telepaths. Protection spells bound to a person are impossible to create, even if it keeps the person walking and talking technically the individual would still be dead, but unable to move on because the spell is holding them back, though a magical sheild that prevents harm is or grants invunerabiliy is not.

Skilled witches can combine a number of spells to make One Powerful Spell and use it for the exact same purpose the spells were originally intended for. Or make a completely different spell all together.
