How could/would you define a 'witch' type of magic wielder? That is, a
person that is using the inherent magic in material components (eye of newt,
wing of bat, blood of virgin, etc) to wield magic as opposed to acting as
a conduit for Astral powers.
Yes, we know that FASA thinks messing with the occult is 'bad', so we
need to define it ourselves, but is this type of character sufficiently
different from magicians or shamans ro qualify as a seperate form of
magic, or would a witch in this sense be nothing more that a 'burned out
mage' forced to use foci and other materials to wield magic?
Comments? Idea? Flames?
