There are a variety of positions within the witch community that exist in my vicinity. **Witches** are individuals who practice **witchcraft**, which can involve various spiritual and magical practices. **Coven leaders** are experienced witches who guide and oversee a group of witches known as a **coven**. These leaders often have extensive knowledge of witchcraft and are responsible for organizing and leading rituals and ceremonies. **Witchcraft teachers** are witches who offer courses or workshops to teach others about witchcraft. These teachers often have specialized knowledge in particular areas of witchcraft, such as herbalism or divination.
The MAPINFO lump, where levels are defined, also has 19 leftover definitions from development under a "Miscellaneous maps" heading. Maze is the only one of these maps that still exists in the WAD. Some of them are almost certainly earlier versions of maps that made it to the final game.
These projectiles are fully implemented in the source, are defined to spiral like Bishop projectiles, have a base damage of 6, and do up to an additional 64 splash damage in a 192 map unit radius. The maulotauls are big horned bovine enemies, not to be mistaken for the 2 headed ordinary enemies you see in most of the game, those are called Ettins.
These teachers often have specialized knowledge in particular areas of witchcraft, such as herbalism or divination. **Healing witches** focus on using their magical abilities to promote healing, whether it be through energy work, herbal remedies, or other means. **Kitchen witches** are witches who focus on magical practices within the home, such as spellwork and potion-making.
Hexen (DOS)
The original v1.0 release of the game contains an unused map: launch the game with the parameter -warp 41 or type visit41 while playing to be warped to Maze. This map is a maze completely devoid of enemies. It was removed in v1.1.
When you start the level, a set of maze walls will raise to the ceiling (specifically, sectors tagged from 20 through 108 inclusive). After a short delay, between 45-65 randomly selected walls will lower to the ground (the same wall may be selected twice). Periodically, one of eight doorways on the edge of the map will open to reveal a switch that may be pulled to change which maze walls are active. While there's a total of 14 of these alcoves, a script bug only allows the first eight to be activated.
Additionally, this map has unused script 04, which randomizes the map layout without the lightning flash. The switches instead trigger script 01.

Reviews for "Local Witches and Their Connection to Nature and the Elements"
1. Jane - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really excited to read "Witch Positions in my Vicinity" as I love mystery and paranormal themes. Unfortunately, this book was a major disappointment. The plot was all over the place and the characters were poorly developed. I couldn't connect with any of them, which made it difficult to care about what happened to them. The writing style was also amateurish and lacked any depth. Overall, I found this book to be a complete waste of my time. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging read.
2. Mark - ★★☆☆☆
"Witch Positions in my Vicinity" had a promising concept, but failed to deliver on many levels. The author had an interesting premise, but the execution was lacking. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took too long for anything substantial to happen. Additionally, the characters were one-dimensional and had no depth. They were simply stereotypes and didn't feel authentic. I also found the dialogue to be forced and unnatural, which hindered my enjoyment of the story. Overall, this book could have been so much better with tighter writing and more developed characters.
3. Lisa - ★★☆☆☆
As a fan of witch-themed stories, I was excited to dive into "Witch Positions in my Vicinity," but it failed to keep me engaged. The plot felt disjointed and lacked coherence. There were too many unnecessary subplots that added nothing to the overall story. The writing style was also confusing and made it hard to follow the action. The characters were underdeveloped, and I couldn't connect with any of them. I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to fellow fans of the genre.
