 +GENERAL SORCERER FACTS
 +
 +a sorcerer, someone who controls the demon by means of a bargain, is far more deadly; they may live undetected by the human population for yearsBB-134
 +sorcerers sell themselves to demons for knowledge and powerBB-199
 +eventually, the sorcerer will lose control, and the demon takes overBB-134

 +GENERAL WITCHBLOOD FACTS
 +GENERAL WITCHCRAFT FACTS
 +
 +History
 +clans of witchesCW-213
 +a bad time for all in Europe; the Inquisition had taken a terrible toll a couple of centuries before - and when it was over, the witches started fighting for power; only Napoleon kept them from exterminating each other entirelyCW-213
 +the only Western European bloodline to survive the power struggle was the Torvalis line, which was interbred with the GypsiesCW-213
 +the few witchblood families left in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars had quit killing each other, forced instead to protect themselves from the ravages of more mundane fightingCW-121
 +witches were still born here and there into mundane families, but seldom had a tenth of the power of the old familiesCW-214
 +the Eastern European and Oriental witches had never established the kind of dynasties the Western European witches hadCW-214
 +they guarded their spells from each other; so each family tended to specializeCW-214
 +witches are so jealous of each otherCW-219
 +
 +From Chat Transcripts:
 +a witch is born to use magicChat 2007-11-03
 +they are trained in spell usageChat 2007-11-03
 +and they are usually born to different families who are witchesChat 2007-11-03
 +some of the things witches can do to increase their power, is as corrupting as sorceryChat 2007-11-03
 +witches do things with mind and body. Wizards have power over the physical -- and both do magic. The ends are sometimes the same, but the means are different. It's far easier to be a powerful wizard and still be a good person then it is to be a powerful witch.Chat 2008-07-27
 +
 +
 +From Cry Wolf:
 +witches and dead things went together; there were witches that didn't kill but they were far less powerful than their darker sistersCW-234
 +witches often hired themselves outCW-181
 +there were witches who regularly worked for the various law-enforcement agenciesCW-181
 +most witches are human and not immortalCW-191
 +magic and fire have an odd, synergistic effect sometimesCW-237
 +likely the witches didn't know why it was forbidden for them to try to take a werewolf for a pet or familiar--not that most of them had the power to do itCW-239
 +
 +Black Witches
 +
 +they used the mind and body; anyone's mind and body; they toyed with things that were alive - or had been aliveCW-233
 +a black witch/something evilCW-179
 +a dark witch gains power from others' pain and sufferingCW-235
 +black witches gained power by killing or torturing things: from flies to humansCW-233
 +most witches of any power are black witchesSB-302
 +they smell of it, some more than othersSB-302
 +there are black witches who skirt the doing of actual evil; skirting evil is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a lot more from a practitioner than true black magic doesSB-302
 +
 +White Witches
 +
 +most white witches weren't powerful enough to be usefulCW-229
 +it's hard to be a good witchCW-235
 +white witches weren't so badCW-233
 +people born to the witch families who have chosen to do no harmSB-301
 +not very powerful because witch magic gets its power from death, pain, and sacrifice, and white witches have chosen to eschew thatSB-302
 +
 +Covens and Witch Families
 +
 +Torvalis line
 +
 +raise the deadCW-171
 +
 +
 +Spell Casting
 +
 +imprisoning spells are pretty basicCW-189
 +illusions were among the very basic tenets of witchcraftCW-174
 +a strong enough witch can control any werewolf who doesn't have a pack to protect him; it is forbidden by witch law, but it is possibleCW-218
 +it usually took witches a while to gain a hold on a lone wolfCW-232
 +power circles: some witches used them to set guard spells to keep things they valued safe, and others used them to store power for drawing upon laterCW-234
 +changing what the senses of other perceived was one of the major powers of the witchCW-234
 +most of witchcraft is potions and spellsCW-236
 +witches could hide in plain sight if they had some sort of hold on you; hide-me spellsCW-238
 +a witch's creations did not survive their makerCW-280
 +self-sacrifice--as when the witch uses her own blood to fuel a spell -- has some power, but it's difficult to work withHG-120
 +power circles; some witches used them to set guard spells to keep things they valued safe, and others used to them to store power for drawing upon laterCW-234

 +GENERAL WIZARD FACTS
 +
 +Wizards aren’t exactly commonSd-
 +Sometimes I can fix things as well as move themSd-
 +they played with nonliving thingsCW-233
 +Wizards have power over the physical -- and both do magic. The ends are sometimes the same, but the means are different. It is far easier to be a powerful wizard and still be a good person than it is to be a powerful witch.
 +Wizards aren’t exactly commonSd-
 +A witch’s power centers on bodies and minds, flesh and blood. A wizard has power over the physicalSd-
 +Most wizards have at least a little Gypsy bloodSd-
