   Description:
   Several centuries ago Pergrande faced a difficult time as the laws against magic were strictened. Even to possess magic was a crime against the kingdom itself and after several hidden witches were discovered to be living in Pergrande in secret its governors decided to start a campaign to eradicate these same witches from their country, making it illegal to declare yourself a non-mage if you possessed magical powers in Pergrande, thus leading to the Pergrande Witch Trials. These trials were horrific, specifically focused on women, and several were accused, twenty witches being executed before the Magic Council stepped in and negotiated their release to end the unnecessary murders. Despite the murders being stopped, it is believed that a cluster of witches came together to perform a ritual to create a power designed to stop the murders, scared that their power would be lost. A pure manifestation of witchcraft in it's truest form, however, this magic was quickly found to be too powerful, capable of mass devastation, and instead was sealed away in a single witch. Bound with several Hexes in order to contain its power, it now lives on in the descendant of the chosen witch, where now, after many years, its binds are beginning to weaken and its power begins to seep out ...

   Abilities:

   True Craft
   During the ritual, the pure magic of several witches was bonded together to create a new type of magic. Born from the essence of a witch, the bearer of this scroll has a deep affiliation to curse magic and the elemental components used to create it. As a result, the way the magic is cast is different from other magic, as it is much more complex and capable of recreating the structure of Caster magic into something much more intricate and destructive. This user gains access to a new magic type called "Hex" and is able to use this magic type to create new magics. Hex type magic is a combination of pure witchcraft and the power designed to destroy those who would harm Witches. This magic type enables the user to use "Summon", "Take Over", and "Caster" type spells in magics that are using this "Hex" type. The benefit levels for Hex Magic are specified below:

 

• Solitary: +50% to Spell Speed and Range. Character can have up to 5 Summon spells active at once.    
  
• Primary: +25% to Spell Speed and Range. Character can have up to 4 Summon spells active at once    
  
• Auxiliary: +10% to Spell Speed and Range. Character can have up to 3 Summon spells active at once
  

   Witch's Essence
   As this magic is stronger than normal magic when used to enhance one's own constitution, the strength of the caster increases more so when compared to a normal Take Over. This means that instead of the usual Take Over melee damage values, the user's Partial Take Overs will now use 2x summon melee damage for a take over of their rank and Full Take Overs will use 3x the summon melee damage for a take over of their rank. Additionally, all Take Over buffs will automatically be doubled to twice their original value. This applies to the Take Over buff itself only, and not any buffs applied in the Take Over's abilities.

   Affirmation
   Witches have a natural talent for affirming more luck to themselves. Therefore the holder of this lineage will receive an additional 150% jewels from any job they partake in. This, however, cannot be split with other parties.

   Ritualistic Enhancement
   The combination of all these witches' powers means that the Hex user can maintain even more spells in their arsenal. As a result, the wielder of this lineage is granted 4 additional user rank advanced spells to be distributed among their magics, 2 of which rank to H+ Rank and 2 of which rank to S+ Rank. Additionally, they also receive 5 user rank spell slots for one of their magics that rank up with this up to S, though using these spells will cost double the regular base MP and the spells in question will not benefit from spell cost reductions, and 1 extra signature spell for every magic that they apply the "Hex" magic type to, also ranking with the user up to S. If these additional spell slots are created as "Caster" type spells, they each receive an additional base effect on top of the other effects they possess.

   A Witches Wrath
   The suffering that was caused by Pergrande was great, and this rage lives on in the descendant of the chosen witch. This intense rage fuels the magic power designed towards destruction, increasing the user's base Spell Damage by 50%. Because their magic is naturally designed to curse their enemies, if a target is hit by any of the user's spells they suffer from a 5% HP drain for a max of user rank duration (Capped at H rank. This drain does not stack).

   Hex Resistance
   Witches are the masters of magic and have the means to obtain such magic power even at their own expense. As such, once per post, the wielder of this lineage can take user rank advanced damage (Up to H+ Rank) on their body to regain mana equal to 50% of the damage taken. For example, the wielder can take on 60HP of damage to themselves to regain 30MP of mana. This is limited to once per post and cannot exceed the maximum amount of mana in their mana pool. HP sacrificed through this ability cannot be regained for the duration of the same thread, the HP lost being subtracted from the user's total max HP permanently.
