Witch

A Witch is a person that can effect change through magical means. A Witch can be either male or female. A Witch uses their powers for good, protecting others from dark or rogue Supernaturals and helping others for various reasons.

Throughout history it has been believed that Witches possess their powers from Demons and the like. However, this is not true.

Some Witches are born human and through studying of magic or witchcraft one may acquire Supernatural powers, they may not. However, it is possible for one to practice long enough they will acquire an ability.

Others are born as Witches, one or both of their parents being Witches.

However, when one acquires their abilities, they choose how to use their powers.

Warlocks
Warlocks are Witches that have went against the Wiccan Rede purposely and knowingly. They not only use their magic to harm Humans but they use it to steal the magical energy of other Witches. When a Warlock takes the magical energy of a Witch by killing them, they don't take the Witches power, they simply gain a more powerful version of the powers they already possessed by adding the stolen magical energy to their own. Over time their powers can become so heightened that they gain another power connected to the one they possess that can't be advanced any longer.

Trivia
Not all Witches possess Mediumship. Only some do, usually those that possess Premonition or some other ability similar, but not always.

A Witch must have their powers active for them to be bound. It is possible that the reason behind this is because without their powers active, the potion may react negatively or that because their powers aren't active that it works reverse, not only awakening their powers but making them stronger than they would've been if they came on their own. This could possibly make their powers uncontrollable for a period of time as they weren't meant to have them that strong at that point.
