RITUAL MAGIC
With this ability the witch can perform major spells of a misc. variety but only with a ritual. Depending on the ability of the witch he/she may or may not need to perform the ritual with a Coven for it to work. Ritual magic often centers around the seasons and moon phases and is often performed by Wiccans in their coven groups.
HERBALISM
The skills and knowledge regarding all manner of herbal remedies and potions, some of which can be used in rituals.
ELEMENTAL FIRE
The ability to create and manipulate fire at will, though for Kahlan it comes as naturally as breathing. Occasionally, heightened emotions or stress will loosen her control on this power and ignite something or someone nearby.
CHARMS
The ability to create small charms designed to perform various magical tasks, such as alerting someone to an intruder in the home, or a piece of jewelry that grows warm when lycans are near. Kahlan is still learning this craft, and cannot yet make items of any significant amount of power. However, she does know how to make some useful little 'toys'.
Biography: Kahlan was born and raised in Marblehead, Massachusetts. It was an idyllic New England town, not far from Salem. Indeed, Kahlan herself was a direct descendent of one of the witches tried during the Salem Witch Trials. Constance Sawyer escaped prison with the help of magic, and secluded herself with her twin daughters on a small island just off Marblehead.
Generations later, Kahlan and her sister Katrina were born in the same spacious, centuries-old house where her family had lived for so long. It had a wide yard, well-kept gardens, and a little boat their mother would take them out in during the summer months. However, now and then rumors would abound throughout the community about the family, that they still practiced witchcraft in the night hours..
It was true. Both Kahlan and her sister were witches, taught by their mother to work spells and distill potions of various kinds. Kahlan showed special talent with fire, while Katrina was bright when it came to controlling water. But Laurel Sawyer forbade her girls to practice darker magic, and chastised them sharply the one time they dabbled. Once, when the sisters were ten, they almost succeeded in conjuring up the spirit of a man murdered back in 1891.
Thankfully, Laurel managed to contain the foul creature, but not before it possessed Katrina long enough to rob her of her sanity. Kahlan's sister spent the rest of her childhood in a mental institution, and though she's come home now, is still the empty shell of a girl. Heartbroken, the second Kahlan graduated high school she lit out for Beantown. Wishing to be free of her mother's strict eye and her sister's empty shell.
She came to Boston to help her mother's friend Judy run an herbal shop. While continuing her studies as a dancer, Kahlan secretly practices her magic, coming closer and closer to an unknown and dangerous edge.
