Like haircare products, ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends (I’m looking at you, Nalia and Alain), your favorite chair (or your whole house).

Seriously.

Since I know I’ll be asked at some point, these are the definitions I work with.

Hex: a bending of luck, for good or ill.  Often in its harmful form it is referred to as an “eyebite,” an “ill-wishing,” or “the evil eye."  It can also be cast as a well-wishing.

Crossing: sometimes referred to as an "overlook,” it is a persistent spell of opposition which prevents a person from having good luck or achieving a goal.

Blasting: an evocation of power used to cause destruction to a person.

Blight: also sometimes conflated with “withering,” it is usually a spell cast upon someone’s health or on living things, which causes them to fade and die.

Sending: a common form of magic used to afflict someone, it occasionally involves sending spirits at them, or perhaps sending them dreams (nightmares, usually).  Symptoms often include those of hauntings or visitations.

Curse: a powerful enchantment that transforms some aspect of the subject’s inner self into a plague upon all who encounter it.  Cursed objects bring misfortune not only to themselves but to others- the same is true of cursed animals or people.  Like a blessing, a curse is progressive and durable, and the only way to break one is to change the subject so that the spell no longer can afflict them.

Seriously, this is frustrating.

When a person claims that something isn’t possible, after I literally just finished doing exactly that not an hour prior to the conversation… I judge them a lot a little.

When a person witnesses me doing something they have previously decided was impossible, and their main response is “that’s unfair!” or to call me evil or something?

Not only do they lose whatever respect I might have had for them, but they also lose any ability to regain that respect ever again.

And sometimes that price is super annoying.  *grumpily rage-flounces out of the room*

… Let’s just say that an irrational witch is a very dangerous thing.
