[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6962078, member: 20323"] Answers! Hopefully. :) Yes, I believe this is the first time Elora has cast spells in front of others. A pink glow is good. The vampires will like her better. Yes, there are clerics in the Witcher setting and they say their spells come from gods. Wizards, of course, tend to scoff at the notion because clerics use recognizable spell components, so a cynical wizard would just consider a cleric or druid to be casting from a very exclusive cultish tradition. The "who is a Source?" question is a bit muddier. In the setting, anyone can learn a little bit of magic (e.g. witchers & hedge mages & pellars & girls who learn a minor spell from grandmother); this could be represented by any number of things in D&D like the Magic Initiate feat, witcher signs, the Arcane Trickster / Eldritch Knight subclasses, or even just evocative descriptions of using herbalist's kit / alchemist's supplies. However, to be capable of casting truly mighty spells you need to be born a Source, someone with innate magical talent. Most of these Sources are either killed off or found young and secreted to places to be trained as clerics/druids/wizards/etc. However, those who are not killed off or trained use the Source class, struggling to govern their awesome abilities on their own.
