Gita Trelease asked Isabel Sterling:

Could you tell us a bit about how you came up with the magic system in THESE WITCHES DON'T BURN?

Isabel Sterling I love developing magic systems! It's basically the best part of the job. I wanted to create a system of different types of witches who live hidden among non-witches but who don't exactly have a great relationship with each other either.

There are three feuding Witch Clans in the series: Elemental Witches, Caster Witches, and Blood Witches. Elementals (as the name suggests) are inspired a bit by the elemental bending in Avatar. Casters are more "traditional" witches with spells and incantations at the center of their magic. And finally, the Blood Witches. Their magic is shrouded in mystery, and you *don't* want to cross them.
