[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8415976, member: 6704184"] Seer has weight, for sure. Hedge Witch is actually really close to the title of a story i'm working on set in the world of my game, the protagonist is a "petty dabbler" in magic, a decent but out of practice athlete, and the only thing special about him is circumstance, and a high learning intelligence, ie ability to learn new skills fairly quickly. Nothing remotely superhuman, but good. He was introduced to the hidden world (in game terms this is his Catalyst, which is what caused him to become Wise to the supernatural) by way of a demon trying to kill him, and he did some research, sketched out a binding spell, and managed to just barely get it done and survive. Now he is trying to catch up, learn everything he needs to know, and help people along the way, including his best friend who he recently learned is actually a dryad from another world. He is a Hedge Mage, because he has a knack for magic but very little training, and often puts more ritual and such into his workings than are actually needed, and finds overly complex solutions that any trained practitioner would know how to do very simply.
