ABILITES: 

Magical Immunity - 
     The driving force of the Witch Hunter is his disdain of all things magical. As he increases in
     level, his beliefs allow him to ignore the effects of magic of equal level or less. When a witch
     hunter reaches 6th level he is immune to all Amtgard magics including special monster magics.
     Witch hunters (and their equipment) are wholely unaffected by magic of equal or lesser level
     including enchantments. A bladesharpened weapon affects a Witch hunter as if it had never
     been enchanted. Conversely, Witch Hunters cannot be affected by beneficial magics- heal,
     resurrect, and emotion control all fail to affect a Witch Hunter (though if attempted, still count
     as being cast). This immunity even extends after death so such magics as Speak to Dead and
     Sever Spirit also fail to affect Witch Hunters. 
First Aid Bandages - 
     Witch Hunters are granted reusable bandages (strips of white cloth) which are tied around a
     wounded limb and will provide limited healing after a 100 count. Note that it is a skill, not
     magic. The count is made to pass the appropriate amount of time needed to actually bandage
     a real wound. The wounded limb may then be used with the following restrictions: If used in
     combat, the wound will return after a 100 count, or if a bandaged leg is used for running then
     the wound will return after a 100 count. Any limb may be used for anything else (carrying
     something, walking, etc.) but will be under the restrictions above until healed by magic. If the
     Witch Hunter's bandages are in use then he may do no more first aid until they are returned. 
Wooden Weapon - (brown ribbon) 
     Component-a branch of a tree or piece of sizable wood- In all regards treat as a normal

Burning Weapon - (orange ribbon) 
     Component-small vial- non-magical weapon treated to burn for a short period of time. Only
     affects creatures that are specifically vulnerable to fire (will NOT destroy shields, remove
     iceballs or entangles, etc.). Stays lit for 2 minutes before it goes out. Must say "Treat with
     pitch" x 10 to ignite. Flames are not extinguished during combat. 
Silvered Weapon - (silver/grey ribbon) 
     Component-small hammer and foil-In all regards treat as a normal weapon. Only affects
     creatures that are specifically vulnerable to silvered weapons. Must say "I enhance this
     weapon with the purity of silver" x 20.
