Introduction and discussion of "WITCHES".

Hmm... but why "Witches"? Because the clan will also include males, and the word "Witch" is usually associated with women (at least in my opinion). Besides, "Witch" is more like one of the subclasses of Mages...
P.S. Or maybe it could have been written using the conjunction "and" (witches and...). Although that wouldn't be quite the same.
P.P.S. I don't rule out the possibility that the name was chosen more for its sound than for its meaning.
