sorceress
Woman wielding magic
A sorceress is a woman who practices magic or witchcraft, typically with dark or supernatural powers.
The word carries fairy-tale and fantasy connotations—wicked sorceresses appear in folklore alongside witches and enchantresses.
The sorceress cast a spell over the kingdom.
Unlike witch, sorceress rarely appears in historical accusations of actual witchcraft; it belongs more to fiction and legend.
