	''In the world of Elanthia, magic is the tie that binds friend and foe. The energy grants the wielder access to incredible feats that harness nature, heal the spirit, and even control the undead. Few of these particular styles and schools have drawn scrutiny and confusion more than witchcraft. Some opine that it is magic that dabbles in darkness, using cauldrons and ungodly reagents to produce abominable spells. Others believe it is the magic that harnesses nature, not dissimilar to the one mastered by rangers and druids. But what happens when you have an entire house devoted to the practice of witchcraft? Around a foggy lake near Ta’Illstim, there is a property that is a sanctuary for those who call themselves witches and concentrate their efforts on educating themselves and others on the art of witchcraft.
