Description

"Fateweaver Witch" - TLDR: There are four-armed witches that use hair as a catalyst to cast hexing spells and the other magic schools think it's weird and gross.
-

The Fateweaver Witches of the Zrawbu Kingdoms hold a reputation both reviled and envied among the Magus schools of the Northern continents, especially the Warmages of the Praethian Empire eager to incorporate their Hex-Arts into their own arsenal if they could comprehend its mysteries.
-

The name "Fateweaver" is the translation given by Zrawbu merchants to describe these Hex users. It stems from a widespread beliefs of the Southern Continents that all fates ill or blessed are dictated by the flow of the Animagus, and to manipulate the Animagus for magical use is to change those pre-determined fates. Fateweavers are especially skilled in spells of healing and cursing on an individual level, able to completely re-attach a severed limb or bring down a greater wyrm if they wished.
-

Fateweavers use an unorthodox method of channeling the Animagus, using their own hair (and rarely other body parts) as a sacrificial catalyst. The practice is taught through one-on-one apprenticeship from a young age until the master deems their pupil ready, which could take anywhere from 10 to 20 years depending on aptitude. For their graduation trial, an apprentice Fateweaver must find someone willing to have their arms severed and magically grafted onto themselves (For most, it is a close family member, but there are exceptions). The mental and emotional connections formed by the grafting of a another person's essence allows Fateweavers to wield the full power of their Hex-Arts which require an innate familiarity with the flow and linkage of Animagus between all living things.
-

As far as Northern scholars know, there are no male Fateweavers, but whether it is because men cannot learn the Hex-Arts, or that Fateweaver masters are unwilling to do so is a debated topic. The point of contention is over a recent archaeological discovery of hidden Zwrabu tablet records mentioning a figure by the moniker of "The Witch-King of Duhret".
