Weizza

The former are considered a bane to society, while the latter spend their days helping the common folk and undoing the curses brought upon by the sôns.

The Zawgyi were wizards who were written about in Burmese literature, while the Yawgi were Buddhist yogis who lead ascetic lives and wore brown robes.

The Pyada Weizza, or Mercury Wizards, also study alchemy in order to produce gold and silver from more common metals.

Among their powers, weizza possess the ability to see past lives, see and hear things that are far away, read minds, teleport, dive into the earth, walk on water, and be in multiple places simultaneously.

[8] The In Weizza, who work with cabalistic squares, use one's birth date and time to create powerful charms and spells.

[10] Weizza prescriptions may be composed of chili powder, cloves, and ginger for fevers to earth-oil infused with seeds, bark, leaves, flowers, roots, and minerals.

Weizza are specially adept with pills and powders, which are carried in bright red phials made of heavily scented bamboo.

[11] Another potent ingredient in the weizza's cabinet is meteoric stones, which can be gathered within three days of lightning striking a piece of earth and are used as ophthalmic medicine.

These groups follow a set of tenets, are headed by a charismatic leader, and center their devotion on one or more weizza saints.
