jung's hair is about three times nyneve's father's length, yeah? do we find out why her father qualified for execution, but jung did not?
jung is viceroy of hyalin. this means he has the power equivalent of royalty, so he’s the one that calls the shots.
hey! ok so, if hair length equals magic power, why wasn't nyneve's teacher suspicious when a short-haired witch had the power to create such a massive explosion - or is that not very impressive power-wise in their world? also, do they execute witches for having their hair too long outside of hyalin - or is magic just not a thing outside of the kingdom? and does using a wand or staff provide more control than just using your hands does magic-wise?
Hmm i think i answered something like this before but forgot to tag it. Control is a big part of what witches consider “magical power”. Anyone can make a big flashy explosion but true, good magic requires subtlety.
for all intents and purposes, the kingdom of Hyalin is the only known world in Witchy.
I will get into scopes (what witches call wands and junk) a lot more in the comic, but yes. basically they focus your magic into a more concentrated form, and are used especially for battle magic and enchantments.
