* TrainingTheGiftOfMagic: Both traditional witches (those possessing a personality based magical talent that has its own unique set of casting rules and limitations) and adepts (those whose powers do not directly collerate to their personailties, and are more instinctual rather than rule based) require training to use their powers to their full potential. Adept training focuses on applying precision and control to their innate abilities, while witch training revolves around finding new and innovating applications of their set talent.

One notable aspect of the game is that the main character is presented as gender non-binary and with several semi-ambiguous models to chose from. Chosen pronouns are actually an configurable setting that can be changed mid-game if the player so desires. This choice was in part to try a different method of fostering character-player connection, vs. the "Nilla Wafer hero"[[http://datenighto.tumblr.com/post/131097857399/weve-had-a-spectacular-first-week-on-the-hustle]]
