	* The witch is able to heal others at a Basic level via Vitalum Vitalis, which allows them to cure superficial or minor injuries instantly or to quicken the healing of more serious injuries to about half the time it might otherwise take to heal them. This healing also stabilizes the target and prompts healing that may not occur naturally, suppressing trauma responses and shock to the system, allowing the body to heal over time even wounds that might otherwise overwhelm it. These effects are temporary, so if the initial application of the power is not enough to heal the patient, then additional applications of Vitalum Vitalis may be necessary. Each use temporarily drains the vitality of the user, so the witch will need time to recover afterward.		* The witch is able to heal others at a Basic level via Vitalum Vitalis, which allows them to cure superficial or minor injuries instantly or to quicken the healing of more serious injuries to about half the time it might otherwise take to heal them.

	===Descensum===		===Descensum===

	* The witch is able to practice Descensum, a form of astral projection, at a Basic level. This sometimes strange power involves entering a state of physical repose, not unlike deep sleep or a coma, and decoupling the mind from the body. While so projecting, the witch experiences the world around them as though they were physically present in it. When projecting into the physical world, the witch cannot directly affect it except via magic, such as telekinesis, but the witch can still interact with spirits or other noncorporeal beings. Those with special mental awareness may perceive them, but they are effectively invisible and insubstantial to normal senses. With sufficient ritual preparation, they may even cast their consciousness into other dimensions, and some especially reckless covens have been known to use this practice to visit dangerous realms, such as hell dimensions. In realms where thought can have more physical impact, of course, such as in the Dreamlands, they may be more freely perceived by others, yet they will also not be restricted in how they physically interact with the environment around them.		* The witch is able to practice Descensum, a form of astral projection, at a Basic level.

== Leadership ==

*The current Supreme is [[Fiona Goode]].
*The current Council Chair is [[Myrtle Snow]].
Current senior council officers are:
* [[Nessa Du Valle]]

All Supremes of the Grand Coven are assumed to have demonstrated these abilities during their ascension to the Supremacy: {{BtD|Magic#Kinetomancy|Telekinesis}}, {{BtD|Magic#Mentalism|Concilium}} (mind control), {{BtD|Magic#Elementalism|Pyrokinesis}} (or other forms of elemental control)]], {{BtD|Magic#Divination|Divination}}, {{BtD|Magic#Transportation|Transmutation}} (teleportation), {{BtD|Magic#Healing|Vitalum Vitalis}} (healing via transferring life energy from the caster to the target), Descensum (or a kind of astral projection, allowing the witch to project their mind into other dimensions).

===The White Council===
The Grand Coven is allied very loosely with the {{BtD|White_Council}}], mostly because open conflict between the two would be dangerous and destructive for everyone. Despite this, there are many points of contention between the two groups, such as the Witches' Council's refusal to strictly obey the White Council's {{BtD|Seven_Laws_of_Magic|Laws of Magic}}, to say nothing of the Witches' Council's disapproval of the White Council's draconian stance on unlawful magic use and the harsh punishment of so-called "rogue warlocks."
