Storm Witch |
Magic is founded upon love. Love allows us to see in the shadows a million beautiful miracles that the cold light of cynicism would destroy. Without love, nothing can be seen at all.
But this also means that it is founded upon trust. Why does the magician tell the audience to close their eyes? It is so that the toxin of their skepticism does not destroy the magic power that is gathering before them.
My title - Witch of Surprises - is an aspect of this concept. My magic can strike anywhere, at any time, to create all kinds of otherworldly situations. But to be effective, it must be a surprise. The moment someone calls out my move before it is put into action, the moment they predict the punchline while the joke is still in motion, it must be discarded for another.
This, as you could imagine, limits the scope of my magic somewhat. Even more than my fellow witches, I must keep to the shadows and byways of modern scrutiny, lest my plans be found out and thus destroyed. But within that scope... within those shadows... !

Congratulations for surviving the monsters you faced, and mostly intact at that.
