Which witch?

[Alva Ren]

Hello! My name is Alva, and I'm the community outreach coordinator for Sanctuary!

Um... I've looked at your records and it says here that you're a witch. Do you have time for a few questions?

Oh, hi

... Yeah I am. I don't mind I guess, yeah sure

[Alva Ren]

Are you sure? If you're busy, I can call another time!

[Choi Jun Yong]

Yeah it's alright, I didn't expect any questions about that is all.

I don't mind

[Alva Ren]

Ooh great, thanks so much. I'm sorry this is so sudden, but I really needed to talk to a witch. I wanted to understand them--you guys--better. I'm a shifter, so I don't often come into contact with witches.

Umm... I guess the first question is... can you tell me about the major covens in Hazleton?

[Choi Jun Yong]

It's okay. Who better to ask about witches... than a witch, right? Having magic troubles?

I think there's several big covens here, maybe seven or eight? Their leaders are supposed to be really powerful too, but I dunno much about them. They mostly seem like old families who've been a part of Hazleton for a long time.

[Alva Ren]

That's what I was thinking! And... not really troubles. I just thought I could help out more if I understood more about you guys. :)

You've never met the leaders of the covens? But you belong to one, don't you? Are all witches part of covens? How do they work?

[Choi Jun Yong]

Ah, that's really generous of you. Definitely makes sense though.

Nope, I'm not a part of any of the major covens here and there are other witches who aren't either. Not all, but a lot of witches are. There are smaller covens too but the ones mostly known are the big ones. I think they work the same as any other group, tight knit even for the ones not made up of relatives. More people means more spells not able to be done by one person alone as well.

[Alva Ren]

Ooh I see I see! So you work together to cast spells sometimes? That's fascinating.

Um... about those spells. If one witch casts a spell, can another one undo it? Or is it only the first witch that can undo it?

[Choi Jun Yong]

It's weird how it works, definitely.

In most cases, yeah, if you find a witch who either specializes in the right kind of magic or has a spell in their book to get rid it. Depending, the original caster might have some sort of barrier that attaches to their spells to block others from undoing their magic, too

[Alva Ren]

Okay, good to know.

How can other species help witches? Like me, for example. I'm a shifter but I'm not very... mobile or agile. I don't want to drag my partner down or endanger him!

[Choi Jun Yong]

Well, shifters have heightened senses for whatever animal they are, usually, right? Maybe make use of that somehow? I'm part shifter, actually, but guess that's different since I have my magic too

[Alva Ren]

Ah, that's a good point, but I already do that. I meant if there was any other way to help witches, beyond what skills I have naturally as a shifter.

[Choi Jun Yong]

You could try helping them find ingredients they might have trouble getting for spells, like if you know enough people there might be some who can be used as connections for that. Some spells need the target to be close enough or physical contact so you could technically help with that too, but that's... obviously more dangerous.

(If he sounds dumb for a second, it's because I blanked. LOL. He knows witch-y stuff, he swears!)

you mean
Act as bait??!
