Glad you're interested! I agree, I loved it, despite the less than fulfilling ending. I marathoned it in like 3 days haha. Glad you have input as well!

1. I like this concept. Family struggles and everything would add a bit of politics and mixed feelings between maybe friends from different families. It opens up a lot when it comes to drama, conflict, and all that good stuff.

2. I had thought this as well. I started a short story with this premise and it took place in a college. Definitely would help it make more sense that there are several aspiring witches in one area.

3. I like these ideas as well! The two different types allows for some infighting, or at least animosity, between the hunters themselves.

4. I like the idea of a patriarch/matriarch, an older member of the family who is very experienced and capable but every other witch has the potential to be just as powerful, given time. Less so a supreme and more so just a leader. This could allow the families to have varying levels of power, based on how experienced their leader is. Some families could have fallen on hard times and lost many members while others are thriving. I think this could add a kind of class struggle between characters who come from different families, paired with their economic standing, that could be very interesting. Though I do like the sound of the single supreme being a target. Maybe we could move this into an artifact that a family possesses that gives them increased power that can only be located by magic during the Emergence? But then, with our characters being newly anointed witches, they wouldn't be much help in a siege against what would be a heavily guarded location. So I'm not really sure about that idea.

5. I hadn't thought of this, but with the different families there would definitely be different types of magic. I'd say less black and white than voodoo vs. witchcraft, but there can definitely be variation in the spells they use. So it'd be like voodoo vs. witchcraft vs. whatever else someone can think up, but not called that specifically in the context of the story. And there could be a default type for those who don't wish to come up with differences or something like that.

6. Definitely, I agree with you on this one. It will take place in modern times, so finding a suitable picture should be easy enough. Though I will accept a description in an image's place, as it can be hard sometimes to find one you like or that fits the idea you might already have.

Overall, love the ideas! This is what I was hoping for.
