Witch Society

Introduction to Witches
Very unlike the "Magician" kind of Witch that is normally thought of, these witches are far different. Can be called Soul Witches, their kind has been said to exist for even before the creation of Gensekai and involved in events of the past, in the background. Their folktales are passed around.

They are beings who have long lifespans and are impossible to kill by normal means. They will regenerate, and their souls hold with them the great power of making contracts that can bind to the soul of someone else.

Each Witch has a Grand Title that denotes their kind of ability, [Witch of Blessings, Witch of Hearts] and they are powerful abilities that can mess with fundamental forces of the world and people but they are limited by Contracts, this is their Legendary Magic.

People of Gensekai may try to call for them to receive Contracts, but them answering to these calls are always a gamble. But when they do give someone a contract, they become indoctrinated to that Witch.

Some Witches may also have a superstition attached to them, though this is more of a feature of their status and less of a requirement.

Contract Genes
What separates a Witch from anyone else is the ability to create a Contract that will stamp to someone's Soul indefinitely. This makes them very potent bindings and their conditions will occur without fail. The pen is truly mightier then anything else with these contracts.

The First Witch to be born with the Gene resigned her form and her essence has spread around the Plane of Being, and therefore other people are Born with the gene very rarely. (Gender isn't considered, I changed that part since it was arbitrary)

Contract Genes can also be inherited when someone who has one acknowledges your potential to become a Witch, which makes them an Apprentice until they are promoted to Grand Witch by the Master who gifted the gene. People born with a gene automatically become Grand Witches.

The only exception to this rule are the Three Great Witch Lines, Blessings - Hearts - Wonder, who's Apprentices will become Great Witches upon their Masters either fading or resigning. The major difference is that Contract Genes which are inherited can be removed with a ritual...while birthright ones are attached to the person for as long as they live and can only be suppressed.

When a witch dies with a Contract Gene, it will be destroyed with them, therefore Witch Lines can end if the last holder of their Gene dies out.

Witches
There are Three Witch Lines who are at the top of the Society, Blessings, Hearts, and Wonder are their Grand Titles. They are basically allowed to run free but are lightly kept in check by the Witch Detectives.

To become a High Witch, you must be acknowledged by all three of them. This is a rank directly below Great Witches. The three Great lines cannot be replaced and none can be added until one line dies off entirely, then a replacement will be selected. Great Witches also have access to their own Pocket Dimensions that are entirely separate from the Outside World.

All other Witches (High Class-Criminal Class) can only have places that are curtained off, which are remote and/or magically hidden but can be broken by influence from the Outside World. Apprentices Witches are just how they sound, Apprentices, they are taught the intricacies of making Contracts and how to utilize their power.

The Witch Caste goes as follows:

Great Witch (Be Part of the Three Great Lines) High Witch (Be appointed by one of the Great Witches) Grand Witch (Be born with a Contract Gene) Witch Apprentice (Receive the Contract Gene but not be appointed to Grand by the one who gave it to you) Criminal Witch (Be persecuted by the Detectives)

Witch Detective and Witch Detectives
Witch Detectives are basically the Lawkeepers of Witch Society, and will investigate Witches or seek out new or unknown ones to be registered among their records.

They make sure that Furniture is not cruelly abused, that contracts made by witches are not broken by witches, and that no cruel or unfair contracts are made. They also make sure Witches do not go on any sprees with their magic or furniture that would lead to problems for the general Public.

Detectives are able to use items or partake in the ritual to remove or suppress Contract Genes. Hunters are a subsection of Detectives who hold items to execute Witches permanently, though this service is rarely needed, unless truly necessary. They are able to drop into the Realms of the Great Witches, though they usually pre-announce check-ups and investigations due to the Rules of Respect the society has.

Furniture
The Title Furniture is used to describe Servants made by Witches and these beings are created for the express purpose of serving, and they are usually loyal to their creation line to a fault. They will exist for as long as their Witch Lineage they were made by exists, and will die once all living holders of their Line dies. Furniture will usually be inherited once a Witch dies or gives them to their apprentice.

Treatment of them varies upon Masters. Furniture can be killed temporarily but will revive automatically after sometime or can be re-summoned. Only the Witch Line who created a furniture can destroy them for good.

Servants that were brought into Witch Lines by other means (Beings who are summoned or people who have been contracted) aren't technically Furniture but are considered adjacent to them for convenience.

Indoctrinated
The most disconnected group from everyone else, Indoctrinated are only the name for People who have contract with Witches and usually don't get involved in the whole political system of Witches; though if a Witch or otherwise takes liking to them, they can be allowed to join meet-ups or talk with other Witches!

Other
- Respect is important in this group of people, Witches usually don't mess with the Indoctrinated of Other Witches and Detectives try to be cordial and warning before doing anything drastic. Furniture of other Witches are to be respected.

- The bulk of Gensekian Population isn't very aware of the deep intricacies of this society due to how secretive things are.
