“Mages and witches have never gotten along. Witches are born with magic as a part of them as their blood or bones. Mages have to work, and study for years to master what a witch can sometimes do from the time they can walk, depending on their strengths. Mages are better, of course, because we are not limited to a single element, but against a powerful witch, even the best of us might have some troubles. Some witches are still … bitter about our involvement in their persecution fifty years ago, but we’ve already issued apologies about that so it’s been put to rest.”
