Magic
CharacterMagic is the spell-based fighting art used by the witches and wizards of Wing Bind in BURN THE WITCH. Channeled largely through handguns, it produces offensive, defensive, and disabling effects, standing as this world's answer to the Soul Reapers' Kidō.
Overview
Practiced by the members of Wing Bind, Magic is a discipline of advanced spellcraft that parallels the Kidō of the Soul Reaper world. Its casters draw on an unidentified power source to unleash effects that span attack, protection, and restraint.
Mechanics
Most witches and wizards route their spells through firearms, firing off a wide range of enchantments. A shared defensive option called Shield conjures a small rectangular barrier directly ahead of the caster. A separate branch belongs to the Inks, who paint symbols using spray cans; each of their designs carries a Release Code and is set off by the command Unlock. Documented spells include Stunball, Blue Spark, Gatling Claw, Supernal Jail, and the concealing technique Cloth.
