Witches
Wise Woman, Hag, Charmer, Crone, Enchantress, Sorceress
Please note that this uses the traditional woman denomination for Witch. Male Witches do exist and are known as Warlocks.
Witches are humans with magical abilities, these abilities are usually focused through rituals, spells and potions. Witches are connected to nature via the rituals they practice. The power of a witch is wide and varied but all of their potent abilities take time. That means they don't have any kind of insta-gib against others. In addition, nearly all witches are only capable of mastering one type of power set. They may have some ability in the other schools but there is no epic witch within the city.
In a city of over 600 000, witches are more common then you would assume. As such, there is actually a coven hidden within the city. They have several gathering places within the city and usually meet on special occasions (solstices, special holidays, unusual moments of weather, etc). All witches will have their own personal center of power, a place where their magic flows the easiest. Some abilities must be performed in the center of power and the more they exist around it, the stronger their tie to it. A center of power can never be destroyed but it can be corrupted or "stolen" by other witches.
There is also a belief among witches that whatever you cast upon another will return three fold. As such, it's not that often to encounter a truely dark witch. If a witch is turned into a vampire, they lose their connection to nature. Lycanthrope infection will not remove the connection, merely make it unstable so that it is difficult for the Witch to focus her abilities.
