salacia, taking the form of a large rainbow boa measuring at a maximum of ten feet in length, is nothing if not a creature of both intimidation and grace. most would react with a reproachful look — her broad, regal head, calculating gaze, and the sheer power her body holds are enough to warrant a level of respect for her. she moves with precise, purposeful movements, looking akin to smooth water gliding over river rocks, adjusting her body to fit through and around the most unconventional of spaces, naturally encompassing water’s property of filling the space it’s been offered and adapting to it.

aside from the force of her presence, salacia sports a rather beautiful set of scales. while she is iridescent — meaning her color will change as a result of factors such as a shift of the angle of view or with the level of illumination at the present time — her natural color is a soft periwinkle patterned with seafoam white waves all along her body, accentuating her natural beauty. alongside this, salacia is often seen crowned with a headpiece sporting tidal wave designs on either side of her head, with the area separating the two accents being a circlet holding water inside of it. salacia can control the way the water ripples, and it’s movement will often correspond with the snake’s mood shifts.

salacia takes great pride in herself and her witch, and is often unwilling to simply submit to others if she feels either one of them have been slighted. they have nurtured a strong bond with one another over the years they had spent together, and it wasn’t odd to see them together more than apart; sometimes salacia could even be found having shortened her length and wrapped around astartia’s neck and shoulders. contrary to her seemingly brass demeanor, however, salacia is very light-hearted and readily teases others, as well as performs her own share of "pranks."

she is a naturally cunning and instinctual creature, and is thus oftentimes the one to get astartia out of trouble with her quick wits. she finds no issue in conversing with others, though when she does, her voice is rather mesmerizing, resembling that of the exquisite melody of the sirens sailors feared so much.

The most simple of techniques, creation is the ability to create water. This enables the witch and the familiar to create balls of water to lob at the enemy. This technique grows in strength and speed with the witch, meaning a fledgling might not be able to do much….

This technique enables the witch to create a bubble around a given object or person, forcing it to float up while protected by the bubble. The bubble can only be broken by another preferably sharp attack or magic cast by a stronger witch.

This technique envelopes an area in thick mist, causing anyone within to lose their sight and for their other senses to also be muffled. The size of the area covered and the thickness of the mist depend on the skill of the user - some experienced users have even been able to make the mist specifically target and trail after an individual.

This scroll details how to sense and understand basic charms and hexes, enabling the practitioner to have a more-than-just-fundamental knowledge on enchantment and its applications. Experts can instantly identify what type of magical properties have been added on what kind of items, and make guesses regarding charms they haven’t seen before. The same knowledge can be applied to Augmentation easily, but may be more difficult regarding a more complex and less standardised affinity such as Runescripting.

Useful for removing long-lasting hexes and jinxes, this scroll allows the witch to reverse the effects of one mana-induced effect from the target ( i.e. the ability to breathe water as granted by a water-breathing potion, or being jinxed with ill-timed hiccups ).

It can end up causing more problems than if the spell was allowed to be completed, however, so knowledge of the specific spell the purifier is trying to interrupt is essential.

A basic spell for helping to deal with spells that utilise temperature changes in some manner. Though fledglings may only be able to break a heating spell on a cup of coffee, more experienced witches can break down complicated spells such as a fire tornado or a magical blizzard, or access dangerous, magically created extreme temperature areas. The spell lets the user dissipate the temperature effects of a spell - removing the heat from a fire ball (which will still burn flesh and cloth), or breaking the frozen part of an icicle to revert it to water (which will still have momentum and could be refrozen or otherwise manipulated).

The caster redirects the flow of mana from two different spells such that they collide into each other, usually to explosive effects. Higher leveled spells, and spells cast by strong witches, are more difficult to manipulate.

Instead of reverting or resetting the environmental mana to its original levels, this scroll allows the witch to integrate mana from spells into the natural surroundings.
