Glossary edit see section history

  • Talent: A special ability of a witch in this story. Each witch has one or a combination of these talents. They could be time travel, moving quickly, or finding lost things, for example. Most children get their "talent" by the age of eight, but not every child of a witch has a talent. The book uses this term instead of 'power'
