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. Some trials were horrific, specifically focused on women, and several were accused, twenty witches being executed in a process that was so brutal it entered the realm of legend. It is believed that a cluster of remaining Pergranti witches came together to perform a ritual to create a power designed to stop the murders, scared that their powers and lives would be lost. A pure manifestation of witchcraft in its 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...

True Craft
During the ritual, the pure magic of several witches was bound 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" magic type. The benefit levels for Hex Magic are specified below:

• Solitary: +3 Signature Spells to the associated magic (Up to S). Character can have up to 5 Summon spells active at once.
  
• Primary: +2 Signature Spells to the associated magic (Up to S). Character can have up to 4 Summon spells active at once.
  
• Auxiliary: +1 Signature Spell to the associated magic (Up to S). 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 1.5x summon melee damage for a Take-Over of their rank as base damage and Full Take-Overs will use 2x the summon melee damage for a Take-Over of their rank as base damage. 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 utilized 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 100% 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 2 additional user rank advanced spells in every magic possessing the "Hex" magic type, one of them ranking up to S+ rank and the other ranking to H+ rank. Additionally, they also receive 5 user rank spell slots for one of their magics that rank up with them up to S rank and 1 extra signature spell for every magic that utilizes the 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 toward destruction, increasing the user's base Spell Damage and base Strength by 100%. Further, the user's base MP is increased by 50%.

Hex Resistance
Witches are the masters of magic and have the means to obtain such magic power even at their own expense, cursing their own flesh in exchange for arcane power. As such, once per post, the wielder of this lineage can deal damage to themselves to regain MP equal to 50% of the damage taken, up to 500 HP at most. For example, the wielder can take on 60 HP of damage to themselves to regain 30 MP. This is limited to once per post and cannot exceed the maximum amount of MP in their mana pool. HP sacrificed through this ability cannot be regained for the rest of the same thread, the HP lost being subtracted from the user's total max HP permanently until the thread in question ends.
