Witches and warlocks have roamed the earth for thousands of years and still widely exist today, though they are masked as everyday people. They have jobs and families and look like any normal family. But when the night comes they shed their civilian outer layer and become spell casting, evil worshipping fiends.

In earlier days, witches and warlocks were persecuted by the public and burnt at the stake. It was believed that if a person could survive after being thrown into a body of water, then that person was a witch or warlock and was to be executed.

As any culture, there are good witches and warlocks as well. These good people help society and have even helped law enforcement officials to track down murderers though the use of meditation and crystal balls. Some of them can see the past, present and future and can relay the messages to the proper people.
