@mimicking yes pretty much, plus she had that drive to want to learn magic and that made her more special than the other unknowing that either fear magic, don't care about it, or think that they can't learn it.
The brimhats have a point when it comes to the regular witches' combat magic. How are you supposed to fight them when their magic is far superior? I feel like basic combat magic (stuff like fireballs, not human transformations and shit) should be encouraged.
