Witches are persons that are known to be users of magic, it being forbidden or not. Witches normally cast spells through runes drawn with a special ink, made from the sap of the Silverwood Tree.
History[]
Long ago, the vast majority, and potentially all people were aware of how magic functioned as well as how to perform it[1], making almost everyone of that era a "witch". However, as of the day of the pact, the Pointed Hat Witches wiped the memories of all other witches so they would forget everything about magic. This resulted in those who had their memories wiped no longer remembering how magic is performed, resulting in the Pointed Hats being the only remaining group of witches through process of elimination.
Those who do not know of the secured truth of magic are referred to by modern witches as the unknowing. In accordance to Pointed Hat law, unknowing are never allowed to learn of the secret of magic, and in the event that they do, their memory must be wiped immediately.
The only group of individuals other than the Pointed Hat Witches who are shown to have knowledge of the secret of magic are the Brimmed Cap Group, a group of witches who have rebelled against the strict laws of the pointed hats and dabbled in forbidden magic. Unlike the Pointed Hat Witches, the Brimhats seem to have no qualms with letting unknowings in on the secret of magic.
Extinct Groups[]
Other than the Brimmed Hat Group and the Pointed Hat Witches, all other groups of witches have been wiped out. The only group of witches explicitly stated to have gone extinct are the Healing Witches of old [2], however it is likely that there are more.
