Can a witch's magic be stolen?

Question - What or who can steal your powers and magic? I met a guy who says he can steal power from a witch. But he can't steal mine because he said I'm too strong for Him. (We are very attracted to each other if that helps to tell who or what they are called)

The way you phrase this question suggests that you see the powers of a witch as something separate from him/her as a person but in point of fact this is not the case. Think of witchcraft as more like a talent or a skill that develops with time and practise. You wouldn’t “steal” a person’s ability to read or to sing and in the same way you cannot steal the experience and knowledge a witch has developed over the years.

That said, you can weaken a witch. Witches like anybody are susceptible to issues in their private lives - illness, depression etc. A manipulative person wanting to reduce a witch’s casting power might look for ways to distract their attention. Often a focus on mundane life can affect a witch’s ability to perform. I know if I have financial problems or work problems my ability to concentrate and therefore to cast is usually affected. But this is not the same as somebody “stealing” power it is just a natural reaction in any witch who is trying to balance her mundane life with her magical one.

If I’m really honest I think this chap is giving you a bit of a line because he fancies you. Full marks for effort on the romance front but a bit more research about witchcraft needed!
