#Also I gotta say this keeps adding fuel to my feelings about these Witches actually generally being more disconnected from people

I'm thinking of a post I made about the Wizards during arc 1.

About how I can see very easily why people would turn to Wizardry in a world with Spirits, especially Spirits like Orima and Naram for whom even pinpoint accuracy of motion can mean the collateral deaths of tens to hundreds.

And now I'm thinking about how at least for the last...202 years Grandma Wren was the only Witch of the Coven of Elders whose domain had to do with people. Not just wizards but people in general.

I think Ame and Wren are the first Witches we meet and so they determined my idea of who Witches are. And so far it's like no! Wren was like that, and she raised Ame like that, but I can't imagine any of these other Witches stepping in for the people of Port Talon the way Ame did. I can't imagine them petitioning a Great Spirit on behalf of fishermen or leading a community in song.

While I'm sure the Coven of Elders specifically are not representative of all Witches, in the same way not all Wizards are Citadel Wizards, it's just very funny to realize how much of what I attributed to Witches in general is so far actually just the Witches of the World's Heart.
