Don't Go in the Woods: The Thickety is not your standard creepy forest. It is ruled over by Sordyr the demon, full of nightmarish monsters, and grows so rapidly that people employed to clear it barely make one dent per day. | |

Personality Powers: The kind of magic a witch uses reflects her talents and values. Kara the animal whisperer becomes The Beastmaster whereas Grace the Control Freak favors spells that turn people into her mindless slaves. Kara's mother Helena could heal wounds and grow plants, which ultimately proves she was a good person. | |

Addictive Magic | |
| The Thickety / int_d69dea33 | comment |
Addictive Magic: The black grimoire's power is an obvious allegory for drugs. It gives abused outcast Kara a sense of power and an outlet for her frustration, but it becomes physically painful to go without casting spells and more so to be away from the book. She even grows possessive of it and gets paranoid about it getting stolen. | |
