The term Medium refers to natural witches, usually of human ancestry, who have the innate ability to communicate with spirits, ghosts, and other entities.

Development
At a young age, some natural witches will begin to ‘babble’; the beginning stages of any ability that will later inform a witch’s aptitude. The babbling stage does not present strong ability but does allow a child to experience a wide spectrum of abilities on small scale. Once a child is old enough, around the onset of puberty, the babbling will cease and the witch’s aptitude will begin to become clear. Aptitude is decided by the level of interest and experience a witch acquires while babbling, and by theirs and their peers understanding of their abilities. It is thought that there are more human mediums than any other type of witch because humans naturally distrust the existence of the twin worlds yet feel comforted by the continuation of life after death. However, due to the nature of any paranormal subject, these claims lack sufficient study.
Practices
Clearing a Person or Place – usually clearing a place, a team will come to professionally clean. It is not well looked on but sometimes necessary for a medium to work alone. Powerful mediums are dangerous when left alone with spirits and don’t have great reputations. A team usually consists of;
1 Hipflask – an ‘overused vessel’ whose job it is to fill themselves with dangerous spirits and carry them elsewhere.
1-2 Belts – their job is to be very familiar with the Hipflask and carry important ingredients.
1-2 Boots – a Boot is muscle needed to subdue resistant Mediums or civilians, usually one or two on a team.
1 Head – the Head is an experienced member of the team who researches jobs, organizes the team, and ensures safety for the group.
When a possession is forced or a connection is established between and medium and an entity, usually a glass or crystal representing that connection is utilized. Breaking this object severs the connection. Once full or partial possession takes place, it can be moved and the connection severed in a safe place. An entity can also be driven out of the body by harming the host – starvation, drowning, and sensory deprivation being the most common methods. These are only utilized if the medium experiences powerful, long-term, and utterly full possession.
