Witch

A witch is a woman who is able to pull the energy out of an elemental gem, and then release it. They can be identified by their unusual eye colors. Witch eyes tend to be purple, red, pink, yellow, or orange. The general population tends to be wary of witches, due to their unnatural and highly dangerous powers. Historically, many witches have used their powers for personal gain at the expense of others, although the most powerful and famous witch in history, Ghael, actually helped save Elluryah during the cult attack.

Abilities and Powers
Witches are born with the ability to pull energy out of an elemental gem, and then use that energy for various purposes, be it combat, utility, etc.

Most commonly, a witch holds a gem in her nondominant hand, pulls its energy into her core, and can then release the energy from her dominant hand. When energy of a certain type is in a witch’s core, she has great resistance to that energy type. For example, a witch wielding a volt gem is highly resistant to electric shock, and can displace bolts of electricity at will.

Experienced witches are able to pull energy from multiple matching stones at a time. Ghael, one of the most powerful witches known, can completely drain three stones instantly, an impressive feat that can release an immense amount of energy. Attempting to pull energy from two different stones at once does not usually result in any spell, and instead causes severe pain in a witch, as their bodies cannot safely contain both energies at once.

The young witch Kat is an exception to this rule, however. Having been born ambidextrous, she posesses the very rare ability to pull and release energy from both hands. Thanks to her natural ability, as well as Ghael's intense training, Kat acquired the ability to hold two types of energy in her core at once, making her an unique prodigy among witches.
