Witch

A witch is one of the species in the Memoirs of the Mausoleum universe.

Overview
Hybrid witches exist according to Briser in his interview with Branson.undefined

Their abilities are enough to strike fear as shown when Briser tells Branson that he did not report neither Ten or his mother because he thought they were witches.undefined

According to Branson, there used to be a time when uninitiated witches were often mistaken for Revenants.undefined

According to Branson, witches share their magic through ritual. A witch needs to be initiated in order to fully activate their witch powers.undefined

A full-blown witch cannot become a Revenant. It is implied that a witch would become dust before possibly turning into a Revenant.undefined

If a witch is never initiated prior to their death, they will lose all traces of magic.undefined

According to Branson, One had the ability to stop hearts, lungs, and blood. Branson states that this is one of the many powers that can manifest in a witch. Though, he also states that it is a rare witch power, and that it is very backwoods and a little taboo.
