Magic Bloodlines
In "Witches be Witchin'" there are four bloodlines:
Benkravlare (Bonecrawlers)
Eirassdotter/Eirasson (Eirasdaughter/Eirasson)
Vredsdotter (Wrath's daughter)
Zonobia
Benkravlare are often mistaken as necromancers because few understand what they are. This bloodline may skip generations until it shows. The child is born with deformities that parents often hide so their child won't be shunned. They have visions, and grow antlers when they get older.
Children of Eira are shapeshifters. Think selkie, swan maiden, and the like. This bloodline is the most widespread one as it doesn't scare people, doesn't differate between gender, and won't vanish generations down the line. Unlike other bloodlines, they are not all related to each other.
Vredsdotter is the line Wendy is a part of. This is the most powerful bloodline in the use of magic. This is the classic witch that brews potions and casts spells, with her personal touch added. Wendy, as an example, uses cards to converse with Deities.
Zonobia is the youngest bloodline, and the most ruthless. A man wanted to conquer the lands and grow his army. He slaughtered countless. It is believed he slaughtered those with magic of lesser known bloodlines, ending them.
Many gave up and handed him the magic users in hopes of sparing their village/town, but one woman stood up to him with her small army. They had no magic but wouldn't sacrifice their people.
Inspired by her courage, a Goddess blessed her. Named after this woman, the Zonobia bloodline is well known but still a mystery. Her bloodline only shows in women in need of it. As such, generations may be skipped and remain unaware of their magic.
The women of this bloodline are the strongest warriors known.
