Powers of witches depend on 2 factor :-
1. RAW MAGIC POWER .
2. KNOWLEDGE & SKILL LEVEL.
Raw magic power depicts magic at disposal , where Skill depicts the ability to Effectively use that much power.
Raw magic power can be compensated by other methods like how Bonnie borrowed power from 100 witches or how Esther draws from Bennet bloodline .
But Skill and Experience can not be compensated .
EX : In late season 2 Bonnie bennet channeled the power of 100 witches which brought her to the level of a Higher witch. But she had the skill of only a average witch, which prevented her from effectively using it to attack Klaus a Genuine High witch would have been able to take down Klaus and Elijah at the same time .
So here is the effective Power system that I will be using:
1: NOVICE WITCH : - This level of witches who had just started to Awaken magic and have little to no control over it.
Magic power: 1000-5000.
Ex- Bonnie bennet early season 1 .
2: INTERMIDEATE WITCH :- This is the level when a witch has control over their magic and perform Basic spells. It's a transitional period between just awakening and reaching the ranks of a Average witch.
Magic power : 5000-10000.
3: AVERAGE WITCH :- This is the level a where every witch eventually reaches as their magic grows naturally when they reach adulthood. Proficient in everyday magic are common among witches and can perform some complex magic with preparation.
Most witches Stop at this level and could never advance until they grow old and die .
Magic power : 10000-20000.
Ex: Bonnie's Grandma .
5: MASTER WITCH :- This level requires significant practice and dabbling into a variety of spells to gain experience to manage slight deviation in the spells but no significant increase in Raw magic power .
Magic power: 20000-25000.
Ex:- These are generally the witches who you see in a coven who are old grandma and Talented ones like the one who performed the ritual for lifting the Werewolf curse for Klaus.
4: GRAND-MASTER WITCH :- This is the level from which the need for talent in the field of magic starts . As this level requires skillful control and experience or pure genius as at this stage Raw magic power becomes essential .
As those with below average talent can never reach this level , Only some one talented or an Genius can reach this level .
Magic power : 35000-50000.
Ex:- Emily Bennet , and Davina with the raw magic power at the sacrifice Arc.
5: ELDER WITCH :- This level requires deep knowledge in magic and significant Experience and knowledge and Resources and already dabeled into all sorts of magic .
This level of witch are capable of significant magical feat .
Magic power : 50,000-75,000.
Ex:- Ayana Bennet , Esther Mikaelson before drawing magic from bennet bloodline .
6: ARCH WITCH :- This level of witches are absolute geniuses and have gone beyond conventional magic and Exceptional knowledge in the nature of magic even among Geniuses very few reach this level in Centuries one must be a Prodigy .
Magic power : 100,000-150,000
Ex: Esther after drawing power from Bennet bloodline. Dahlia who with her knowledge has gained alternate Immortality to survive for over 1000 years and still be strong enough to spread fear among Mikaelsons.
7: TRANSCEND WITCH:- This level of witches are a once in a Millenia Prodigy who has dabbled deep into nature of magic and significant skill , at this level verbal magic are like child's play to them . At this level they can Defy Nature and go against its rule .
Magic power : 250,000-500,000
EX: Qetsiyah who created the immortality spell with out any drawbacks at a very young age and successfully defied Nature so that nature had to resort to creating Doppelganger without finding any weakness in the spell.
And The Hollow .
# Significant Information :
1. Some spells and Rituals that require strong magic is done by a group of Multiple witches connecting each other's magic .
EX : The travellers they are not individually strong so they when performing large scale magic chant spells and rituals in a group .
2. . This was also how First covens were formed because they were no individual strong enough to perform large scale magic so they started living in groups .
