| Wide-brimmed witch hats with big skirts are common, as are long, robe-like coats. These are contrasted by gloves or boots that are clearly made of advanced materials. Lace, stars, over-sized accessories and accents, and so on all contribute to each witch having a look that is uniquely, sometimes impossibly, her own. | Wide-brimmed witch hats with big skirts are common, as are long, robe-like coats.

For Wyr who follow this practice, they often say a few words to an appropriate witch for dedication or guidance before undertaking an activity. To become a witch worthy of such recognition is the goal of many Wyr who want to leave a legacy larger than simply dying to hold the line. | ||
