((Check the witch thread before coming here. Some of the powers I discussed there are repeated here))
There are certain skills that make a witch, a witch. You may be familiar with the popularized potion making, or the ability to heal the sick. These powers are only the tip of the iceberg; the voodoo witches of New Orleans work hard to unlock the multitude of powers every day, and succeed.
The longer a witch has stayed alive, the stronger her powers develop. The witches that are allowed to work in the supernatural field typically have about 2-7 powers. A teenage girl who might have just discovered her witchood has about 2 powers. The Sight and spell casting.
A witch, no matter what age, that has had about five years of experience in the supernatural field as well as training can develop close to 7 powers. These are some examples. The number of *'s indicates the level of difficulty. If there are more than three, than a young witch cannot pull that power off without going into a coma for four days. No one knows what happens in their dream induced state, but the few witches that wake up have post-traumatic stress disorder and severe nightmares.
