      Some of your ancestors were also burned at the stake during a witch-hunt that happened some time in the Middle Ages. That’s why your mother’s family did everything they could to hide their magical abilities from the masses. They don’t do witch-hunts nowadays…, but still, make sure never to use this power again. I don’t think things like magic would ever do you any good, Anko.
