Yes folks. It doesn't matter what the rules are. All it takes is one crazy American and a bunch of people to spout an incorrect opinion and common sense is completely overcome...

They could say "witch = female magic user" and it would mean the same thing. Come on, we know all women are evil by nature...

Still not sure what that has to do with the original query, other than trying to not answer it... that's one unique little world you live in

In between the increasingly precarious nature of this thread (warlock is quite an offensive term to some of my lot), I noticed this OT post:

You do realise that the menders:
a) Aren't telling you the truth;
b) Don't know as much as they pretend to;
c) Are not good guys
?
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, yes, quite aware. I have no doubt that they are as slippery as a slippery fish that's just been elected as professor of slipperyness at Oxford University. I mean, just look at who's leading them after all!
I'm just wondering if your character's excursion into Cimerora is either
a) Going to count against them when the Menders reveal what they're really up to or
b) In fact be one of the events that trigger the arrival of the "Coming Storm". I can hear the wails of angst from here. 
Still, a fair point and quite probably the reason why they don't award you the portal when you return as doing so would confirm that they know that you went. This way they can observe and feign ignorance.

"A wizard did it" is a quote from The Simpsons, which may or may not be a quote from something else - HAH!

[/ QUOTE ]
I would say this.
The menders are doing thier thing with time, trying to bring about a future where "Mender Silos" is ruler of the multiverse. The Midnighters are working against them. The letter writer is a third party with connections to both groups.
Additional speculation:
Midnighters are trying to restore the Incarnate origin.
Menders want to prevent that at all costs.
I really should do something about this signature.

1)
It said mostly women, but not always, so you couod still have a male witch.
2) Black magic not necessarily evil. sure its based on melevolant acts, designed to cause harm. But if your causing harm to say a mass murderer, or a hellion stealing a purse, its a good cause.
3) Page 2 of your google image search as a female wizard.

The etymology of the word witch supposedly comes from the Old English "wicce", which is the feminine form of "wicca" ("sorcerer, wizard, man who practices witchcraft or magic"). Which means it's meant what it means for a while.
Warlock on the other hand supposedly comes from a more neutral background (to relation of this magic business), Old English "wærloga", which means something along the lines of oath-breaker or traitor. The "-ck" ending and meaning of a "male witch" were added later by the scots in the 16th century.
