Asha

"When asha fight, they paint their faces, array themselves in jewels, and call it war."

- Old saying

Asha is the term used to describe witches who can use Runes. The role is traditionally restricted to women alone.

Abilities
Most asha are able to command the rune of Fire, Water, Earth, Forest, Metal and Wind. Only a small group is able to pull magic from the Dark, giving them their name of Dark asha or - more commonly used as an insult - Bone Witches.

Asha use an array of two hundred kinds of runes both for combat and magic.
