My darling daughter, 

If this letter has found its way to you, then the unthinkable has happened - your magick has been unbound, and I am not there to help you. Know that I did everything to shield you from this life, but none of us can forever outflank fate.  Fate after all, is a single-minded task master that will shift around events to have its way.  Your magick is strong darling; it is not infallible. Do not think of it as such. Instead, it will make you a target for as long as you live. It will poison the minds of those around you until even those you trust try to steal it from you...

Evi has grown up on the fringes of magick, longing to cast spells like her mother, but not being able to. She has accepted it, moved on from it, thrived without it. But when magick forces itself into her life, it will coerce her into making choices that she never thought she would.

Sense of Self by PowersTheTiddyGoblin
12 parts Ongoing Mature
Evanora Ravenscroft comes from a long line of a dying race, thought to have long been driven to extinction: the witch race. Fabled in the mage community to be a distant legend of vile, curse ridden demons, the last time a witch was encountered, the world was plunged into the dark ages. But Evanora knows the truth of her people, and she's running out of time. Born as normal, loving people, witches have a rich culture and traditions spanning generations. Bonding for life as teens and having children early in life, they live their lives to the fullest before they begin to forget their families and friends. Most witches become complete amnesiacs by the time they're 25. Along with this amnesia, witches begin to generate and pour magic from their bodies. And continue to do so until they die. The adult amnesiac stops needing sustenance and becomes a purposeless roaming force of nature, drifting where its whim takes it and unintentionally affecting everything in its path, whether positively or negatively. Now 21, Evanora, is running out of time. Each day, the image of her parents wandering into the forest to never be seen again grows fainter, and accidents keep happening around her. In all her race's history, no witch has ever avoided their fate. Her resources are limited, and she's desperate to find a way to stop the corruption. But the only source of knowledge that may help her is the world renowned academy for mages, the magic users that nearly drove her species to extinction... Can she save herself the fate of becoming an empty shell of chaos, or will she lose herself trying to do the impossible?

Candlemaiden: The Stranger Shore

23 parts Complete

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.
