To ensure that magic is not being abused on the site we have compiled a list of rules that must be followed at all times.

• If your character casts a spell that will affect another person's character you must gain their permission first to avoid putting their character in a situation they do not wish to put them in. 
• You can only use the spells provided below, if you come up with a spell you would like to use you can PM an Admin using the application below where we will review it and either accept it or deny it into the list of spells.
• If your character is an Elemental Witch/Warlock with the gift of Spirit this means they can receive visions given to them from beyond the grave. This gift will remain active so long as everyone follows the rules, if it gets out of hand it will be taken away. If you want your character to receive a plot based vision you must PM an Admin to make sure we have one available for you, because we have the plot pretty much mapped out so we know when we want certain things revealed and we may not have one at the time. If we give you the okay to create the Thread you will need to @ Admin (no spaces) and we will then respond with said vision. If you want your character to receive a vision about another character that doesn't affect the plot you must receive permission from said person to make sure it is okay.

Description: Ancestral Magic is an extremely powerful form of witchcraft that is commonly practiced among the Native Americans residing in Sleepy Hollow. Ancestral magic draws energy from the power of the Ancestors who have been consecrated into Sleepy Hollow soil and remain attached to the land. However, ancestral magic is limited to the area where the witch's ancestors are buried. Without access to the remains, or to the earth in which they're consecrated, witches who practice ancestral magic are powerless. As a result, ancestral witches are very committed to their families and their coven, and the bloodlines of the witch families in the community typically go back centuries.
