A little bit about the rules of the world and the characters' past.

There is no academy for witches in this world, so all knowledge is passed on in the family circle. Each witch family has its own teaching methods and its own secret spells. The training takes place on levels. A witch cannot jump from one to the other during training. All levels are designed in such a way that the magic power corresponds to the spells being studied.

Until the age of 30, a witch is trained at home, under the supervision of elders. At the end of the training, an exam is held - the summoning of a familiar. The familiar shows what the witch was able to achieve and what level of her power. It is also proof that the witch has mastered all the basics of magic and can now continue her training on her own. It should be noted that it isn’t the witch who chooses her familiar, but the familiar does it himself. The category of the familiar, its strength, abilities, everything depends on the strength of the witch herself. She can summon a strong familiar, but he will refuse.

Even after graduation, the witch stays in the common estate until she gets married. In fact, the question of which family a witch or a witcher will enter is solved for a very long time and seriously. Families should be well acquainted with each other. Sometimes the issue of marriage is resolved long before the witch comes of age.

On average, witches live about 500 years. It all depends on the magical energy in them and the connection with nature. There were cases when a witch lived to be 800 years old.

In this universe, witches conjure with the help of their grimoires, in which magic circles (pentagrams) are drawn, and pronouncing spells. Powerful witches can conjure even without grimoires by drawing a pentagram and casting spells, but the power of such a spell is lower, because you need to invest magical energy in drawing a pentagram, which means that energy is taken from the spell. It turns out the scheme:

With grimoire: Pentagram 0% - spell 100%

Without grimoire: Pentagram 50% - spell 50%

Percentages mean the amount of energy that is spent on the drawn pentagrams and the spell.

At the age of 15, a witch gets her own grimoire. It may take several years to come up with your own spell and pentagram.

Many objects in this world have their own soul. Special spells are cast on such items to bind magical energy. Because if this isn't done, due to an overabundance of this energy, objects are destroyed, unable to absorb it. One of these items is the Tighnari broom (white drawings on the broom are a spell). Sometimes it’s difficult to determine whether there is a soul in an object or not, but Tighnari has no problems with this.

Despite the fact that witches, werewolves and all sorts of magical creatures are commonplace in this universe, but people still stay away from them. In the ratio, people are 80% and magical creatures are only 20%. Basically magical creatures in the likeness of werewolves, mermaids, etc. live in packs, in very remote and hidden places. Werewolves are even very cautious about representatives of their own species. Sometimes there are skirmishes where someone dies. Witches communicate only in their own circles, without contacting the outside world. Tighnari's case is rather an exception. There were no other witches in the village next to which he had made his way, and Tighnari always showed only friendliness to the locals, so he was calmly accepted, although at first they were very wary.

And here we will smoothly move on to Tighnari. He was born into a family of magicians, a family that had been around for several centuries. Tighnari has no brothers or sisters, so all the attention is focused on him. Since early childhood, he was interested in magic. He could spend long hours in books or memorizing spells. From birth, he had the gift of sensing magical energy in things. Every witch or witch has this quality, but someone has it better developed, someone has it worse.

His parents didn't stand out much and were average magicians, but his grandma was a pretty strong witch. Therefore, seeing Tighnari's gift and his diligence, she took up his training. She taught him a lot more things than her children. This was also facilitated by the predisposition of Tighnari. He grasped everything on the fly and learned twice as fast.

At the age of 19, he was quite impulsive. Due to the fact that he was 2-3 levels above his peers, he decided that nothing would happen if he jumped over them and started studying more serious magic. Unfortunately, the rules were invented for a reason. His body wasn't ready to receive such magical energy yet. Because of this incident, grandma was very angry. Tighnari didn’t want to give in and stood his ground, to which grandma got even more furious and said that since he was so smart, he could get out of the house and study on his own. She was a very proud woman who didn’t tolerate self-will. Parents tried to mitigate the conflict, but Tighnari didn’t want to apologize, packed up and left home. He tried to summon the familiar ahead of time, and his call was answered, but by a very young familiar. Because of his age, he’d be called weak, but that's for now. There is a hidden power in it that will manifest itself over time.

A few years passed, he realized that he was wrong, got wise, apologized, but refused to return. He found his own path and his own home. Now he keeps in touch with his family through letters.

Tighnari mainly uses a grimoire. But he can also draw a magic circle for a spell without a book from memory. He has learned to control the flow of energy he spends on the circle and spells.

His familiar is a wolf with two heads. They have one name - Hexe, because it is essentially one organism, but two TRAITS of the same personality that can be separated.

Tighnari isn’t the greatest witcher in the world because he wants to be. But if you look at it from the point of view of strength and knowledge, then he’s in the top 10. Tighnari preferred a quiet life in the forest, studying ancient books and trying new spells. Since he decided to settle near the village, he decided to prove himself well there. Therefore, now in the village they talk about him only with a kind word and come for advice or a potion.

Tighnari lives very secluded. He gets to the city at best once a month, but mostly it happens every 2-4 months. In the city, he buys everything he needs and sells his potions.

Cyno grew up in a pack of werewolves. Usually the flocks are very large, 30-50 individuals each. Since werewolves are treated worse than other creatures because of fear, they live deep in unexplored forests or high in the mountains. And if they get out somewhere, it's only in the form of wolves. To other werewolves, not from the pack, they are also hostile. Outsiders can kill and want to take over the territory. Because they spend most of their time as wolves, their human nature is blunted and they live at the expense of wolf instincts.

Cyno has two forms of the beast. The werewolf is his permanent form, in which he lives most of his life. In it, he cannot talk, only make sounds inherent in an animal or use sign language. In the form of a wolf, he is faster, stronger and regeneration also works better, but there are consequences. If you stay in the form of a wolf for a long time, then the mind begins to cloud and after the reverse transformation into a werewolf, there may be outbursts of aggression or anger. He loses control of his mind, but Tighnari has found an approach to him. When Cyno first had an outburst of rage, Tighnari was not ready, so Cyno injured his arm. After he helped to restore Cyno's clarity of consciousness, he quickly cured himself, but Cyno blamed himself for it for several more months. Because of this, Cyno doesn’t like to leave the forest, only if Tighnari needs to go somewhere, or Nari himself asks him to run somewhere.

Every full moon, from the moment of the moon's rise to its setting, werewolves transform into people. The appeals cannot be extended or controlled.

The first hour after the reincarnation of Cyno is very difficult to walk without crashing into everything. Everything seems big to him, and his vestibular apparatus is in complete disarray. But he adapts quickly and walks calmly after a couple of hours. BUT! This is if he turns from a werewolf into a human. If the conversion takes place from a wolf to a human, then the adaptation is worse and takes more time. The vocal cords also don't work well at first. My throat is constantly scratchy, and my voice is weak and hoarse.

The pack of Cyno hid quite well in the woods, but one day a man deceived one member of the pack and led a group of hunters to the lair. Many were killed at once, some were captured, Cyno was just one of those. In captivity, everyone was tortured, many of them couldn’t stand the torture. They were considered ordinary animals, so they wanted to tame and force them to obey in order to use them for their own purposes. Cyno somehow managed to escape from them. He ran into the very depths of the forest, not understanding where exactly, the main thing is as far away from people as possible. In the end, he just collapsed, bleeding to death.

Tighnari found him in the shape of a werewolf, covered in blood, he was barely breathing. Nari, without hesitating for a second, decided to save him. Thanks to magic, he was able to transfer it to his house, pouring medicines into it and smearing it with various ointments. In the first days, it was very feverish. He changed very often from werewolf to wolf and vice versa. As a result, he remained in the form of a wolf, so that the wounds reginerated faster. While recovering, Cyno spent about two weeks in the form of a wolf. After torturing people, there were a lot of scars on his back, so he was a little worried about them, but when Tighnari saw them, he didn't say anything, just came up and covered him with a cloak. He just asked if they hurt, so that if anything, he could apply an additional ointment.

Some facts:

There are practically no doors in the Tighnari's house, only large doorways. There is a huge entrance door through which Cyno calmly passes.

Tighnari goes to the village alone. Everyone in the village knows that Tighnari doesn’t like uninvited guests, so no resident has seen his house. And they wouldn't have been able to find it, because Nari casts a spell that hides the house.

Basically, Cyno is engaged in hunting, chopping firewood and protecting the house from uninvited guests. He also helps Tighnari in the garden. If you need to transplant or water something, he’s always ready to help. Basically, he walks through the forest and collects various materials for Tighnari.
