Thanks for the help.

 From what I understand the wichita witcha's magic pretty much comes in 
three different orientations.

1. Combat - One of the reasons why the Wichita Witches are so known for 
their gunplay is they...well cheat by using magic to augment their 
combat abilities.  When they really get ticked, they have a tendency to 
cast the big scarry spells that are more blatant and direct.

2. Influence: After Mina herself, most witches use their spell casting 
to charm people and put them through an emotional rollercoaster.  They 
are also not beyond a curse or two neither.

3. Summoning: From Hellbats to the Hanging Judge themselves, the witches 
often summon dark things to get the job done.

I'm kinda working on a prestige class for these lovely, yet dangerous 
ladies that is primarily a NPC class, but also might allow an 
exceptional player to take it as well).

What are the witches known for?
