Weaknesses


 * Emotions - A Maidens magical powers is subject to the influence of their emotional state. Strong emotions, such as worry and anger can fuel a witch's power while emotions such as fear may prevent a Maiden from properly accessing their powers.


 * Distraction - Denying a Salem from concentrating or giving full attention to their spells, may render them ineffective. Since some spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, Maiden s or Virago s are vulnerable to attack before their completion. Additionally, certain spells require items, tools, and/or special events during casting, therefore they can't be invoked on mere whim.


 * Mortality - Despite having magical powers, Maidens are still humans and share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, snapped neck, etc.).
