WIP
I probably can't show you much from the story without spoling it. I already showed a whole hex witch academy I created for the worldbuilding, now I'm going to show some visuals.
The story actually started by being inspired by the ON MV, but I think the FAKE LOVE MV visuals fit so much into the storyline that I literally had to use them for inspo.
I'm also going to show some visuals of the different type of witches I'll have. Some I can talk about without it being a spoiler, others I'll have to keep to myself.
We will have Elemental Witches, Energy Witches, Green Witches, Healer Witches, Hedge Witches, Hex Witches, Kitchen Witches, Spiritual Witches, and others I can't mention without spoiling it.
Some of these might have similar powers or belong to the same category, but I separated them by level of power, like a hierarchy pyramid. Though some might be slightly the same type of witches, there will be differences.
At the top are Elemental, Hedge, Hex and Healer Witches
In the middle Energy and Spiritual Witches because they somewhat are related to Hedge and Healer witches, but are below them.
And at the bottom of the hierarchy, it's the rest of the witches with some moral and political discussions of if some of them should be higher up or not.
The secret witch ranks are a mystery on their hierarchy position but they could be either at the very bottom or at the top.
Also, this is a copy paste of one of my worldbuilding notes:
Ways to Acquire Magic:
Heritage: *
Mastered: Learned entirely through study, either from books, mentors, or training. While anyone can study magic, mastering its deeper intricacies can be extremely difficult. Some advanced magic may still require an innate connection to be fully harnessed.
Fusion: A combination of inheritance and learned skill. It requires study and discipline, but also an innate affinity that allows a person to develop magic into a true power.
(secret/spoiler)
*Heritage: This refers to an inherited predisposition toward a specific type of magic rather than an innate magical ability. A bloodline may have a natural inclination for a particular magic, but it still requires study and training from an early age to develop properly. If someone has a natural aptitude, they may be able to refine it into a true magical power. However, not everyone in the bloodline will possess this affinity, regardless of effort. The key factor is magical compatibility rather than direct inheritance.
Forms of Heritage:
Direct: Passed directly from parents.
Casual: Appears sporadically in ancestry, without a predictable pattern (e.g., a great-grandparent had the ability, and it may or may not manifest in a descendant).
Recurrent: Inherited in a structured way through lineage (e.g., every grandchild receives it, only daughters inherit it, or the nth child in a family develops it).
Designations of Witch Cohorts:
Clans: Small groups, often family-based, where members share similar magical traits or abilities.
Covens: Larger groups made up of multiple families that share common magical traits or powers (a coven can include multiple clans).
Covenants: Groups formed around a shared goal rather than shared magic. Members may have different or similar abilities, depending on the covenant’s purpose (covenants may also include clans).
