What’sthedifferencebetweenmagiciansandwitches?

Infact,asfarasmagicitselfwasconcerned,thegapwasnotverybig.Magicianscouldalsousemagicthatwitchescouldperform.Therewasnoinsurmountableboundarybetweenthetwo.

However,therewasadecisivedifferencebetweenmagiciansandwitches.

Thatis,magicians’magicpowerwasbasicallyconstant.

WhenmagiciansperformedaMagicMissile,nomatterhowstrongtheywere,thepoweroftheirMagicMissileswasthesame.

However,witchescouldeasilybreakthisboundary.TheirWitchBloodlinecouldletthemreleasemorepowerfulMagicMissiles.
