what would they like to do instead of being a witch?;; Orison was blessed with a strict and logical mind, and after being raised in a home full of ritual and superstition, and worse, backbiting and pretend power struggles, Orison had the foolishness as a kit to ask her mother what was REAL about all of this. After all, only the most powerful of Kalon were actually MAGICAL, and her mother was NOT.
Her mother hissed about the "truth of the world", but all Orison could hear was that her mother had no REAL answer to the question. It upset and frustrated her. Finally, she made up her mind that it was not worth her time to keep asking her mother about the real world or nature, because everything she said either proved false, or worse, impossible to prove or test. Certainly, if her mother were one of the TRULY magical Kalon, she wouldn't have to constantly watch her back or cast endless spiteful spells to "keep the evil of others" at bay.
It was at this time, that her mother gave her a tome, that she was to fill with her own magical spells and rites...but as she pawed through the blank pages, thinking about how she could ever possibly fill it to satisfy her mother's request, she realized she could write the TRUTH of nature in it. Not any nonsense about how her mother and sister thought the world worked, but the REAL parts.
It was a desperate plan...but if the records she kept were of experiments with natural materials and the results of those tests were written down, she could have a tome of TRUTH, rather than foolishness.
It was this plan that threw her headlong into the realm of natural sciences...and that is when her life changed forever.
