The MacCollums of Kilwestra are a charming Scottish clan, no doubt, but their charisma is a magical artifact that requires careful handling. Since it was created from one woman's agony over the New Berwick witch trials in the 1590s, at least five other first daughters of her line have died of its curse.

Not even four more centuries of iniquity, misunderstanding, and disdain could drain its energy. It would take two 21st-century witches, one on either side of the charisma's ancestral power, to ground its terrifying energy.
