A witch is a person who studies the craft of magic, alchemy, power, and the occult.

Alchemy
main article: alchemy

Modern witches actually have more in common with the alchemists of the middle ages than the actual practioners of paganism, though due to the popularity of the terms "Magic" and "Fairy Dust" (see below) witches found it appropriate to refer to themselves as such.

Most modern witches are known for their ability to convert materials from one to another on a nuclear level without the need of nuclear reactors. This is because witches have the ability to channel a special form of energy (commonly known as "magic") through their bodies and directly into the particles of a material. This results in the protons, neutrons, and electrons of the individual atoms rearranging to form new atoms. Excess particles will result in "Fairy Dust" or metallic hydrogen, the simplest form matter.

The resulting material's mass added to the mass of the Fairy Dust will be equal to the mass of the original material.

Powers

Witches are, by definition Supers, with the element under their control being magic. Unlike most supers, however, witches frequently engage in powers they were not born with, such as control over electricity, water, etc. Also unlike most supers, witches rarely engage in hero work, though there are some exceptions.

As a subculture
Witchcraft as a subculture has yet to become mainstream, though it has gained a significant following on the internet, and many witches have become so via the internet. The subculture itself is often considered a spiritual successor to the hippie culture of the 1970's, the eco-goth trends of the 2000s, and the Alchemist movement of the 2020s.

Witchcraft also owes alot to certain religions. Elements of Buddhism, Wicca, and Neo-paganism often find its way into Witch philosophy. Even self-proclaimed "wicked" witches are passive in nature. Most modern witches are also pacifists.

Recently, another subculture seems to have split off of witchcraft. Often called "west-witches" after The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz, this form of witchcraft is much more violent and much less passive. This practice is looked down upon by other witches as well as by the general public.
