"When you gaze through the stars, what you see isn't always what you wish. Sometimes it isn't even WHEN you wish..."

This is Neyon Vihan, a Changeling Cosmic Witch who specialises in Divination and Enchantment magics. Whenever he uses his magic, Neyon has a chance to see a piece of the past, present or future. It's not always clear what the vision means, but it isn't always a good thing. Neyon has to be constantly vigilant about what he says, and as a result, finds it difficult to be around people. He keeps most people at arm's length, and has never had a close relationship with anyone.

In A'arde, Witches are a class somewhere between Wizard and the D&D 5e Warlock. Like Wizards, they use magic by learning the theories of the Weave and manipulating magic pulled from outside of the body. Unlike Wizards, Witches are not able to create a "Weave Channel" through themselves, and must enlist the help of Spirits (known as Confidants) to channel their magic properly. Because of this, Neyon casts spells by preparing them through rituals into "Tokens" beforehand. The number of Tokens he can create depends on his level of power and his level of Mana Regeneration.
