Crone-Wise (R)
Knowledge of the role and tasks of the old woman. Useful for scaring people, knowing the spirits and giving good advice.
Herbalism (R)
Gorenite women use many herbs and natural remedies in their everyday life, which reflects on their witchcraft as well. The Ability is useful for finding and preparing herbal cures, drugs and poisons of various sorts. The Gorenite lands are relatively bare, though, so the number of plants is not infinite; usually there is just one for each distinct purpose.
Ritual Magic (R)
Gorenite witchcraft does not involve rituals in its everyday application, but they take precedence at covens and actual worship. This Ability can be used to support other magical Abilities when they’re applied in a ritual context: deliberate tools, environment and action help to focus the magic. The Ability is also useful in interpreting strange rituals, developing new ones and might support PRAY (V) in some situations as well.
