I thought the VooDoo system in White Wolf was a bit Superfluous. Srun Magic
is open and flexible to account for just about any magic myth you can think
of, including witches. Do we need a witch archetype? No. Can we make one
anyway? Yes.

It ssems to me that the focus has been on the Witch's use of materials to
work her magic. Fine, that's a mage or shaman with fethishes and foci, you
say. But what about a witch who MUST use such toold? That's a witch with
a Geas. Hmmmm. . .but how about a witch who must use such tools without a
Geas? I believe what we're talking about is, for lack of a better term, a
Focus Adept. . .someone who can only work magic when using Foci.

Now wouldn't you know it, I left my books at home today? So here I have 5 hours
all by myself to work on something like that, and no reference material. If
someone beats me to the punch, fine. Another thing way of defining a witch
would be as a variation of an Enchanting Adept.

Well, have at it.
