Hi everyone, I am writing a fantasy series about witches. It's set in a high fantasy world. To get magic powers in this fantasy world, a girl has to voluntarily transform into a magical being. This has the side effect of making her skin turn bright green. I was wondering how many girls would actually take magic powers on these terms? Because humans don't have DNA like birds and fish, we cannot naturally be bright green, so everyone in that world would know that the witches are magical. They can disguise their green skin temporarily by using magic, but it is a hassle to do so.

The magic in this world enables witches to fly, to get animal familiars, to heal other people by magic, to turn their enemies into animals, to cast fireballs and lightening bolts, and much more besides. The harder spells do have an energy cost, so a witch must rest and get her energy back after doing something impressive by magic.

My question is, is this price for magic high enough? Who would take these powers if it meant getting green skin? Who would take these powers if it meant further disfigurements that are more serious than getting green skin (like distorted facial features, warts, hair loss etc.)

This question is just for girls. The magic rules for guys in this fantasy universe are different.

They are always putting on make up doing their hair, nails etc to look pretty, they spend a fortune on clothes shoes plastic surgery et al.

There are two guys I know who are pretty good friends. The question is end up the most desirable and successful in life? So who is going to be doing better in 25 years if we can check on them again. I will describe them to you and you decide who will fare better in life. And make your choice and explain your belief.

Guy 1:

He met guy 2 while working a blue collar job to sustain himself and worked through college and graduated college with no debt, owns his own car lives in his own apartment.

He has dated, and had a couple of relationships, moderate dating and he can fairly easily get a date, in fact women ask him out some times.

Guy 2:
Guy 2 is 24. He still works at the blue collar job, but he's trying to get a better job in the industry and he's about to get it. He, however, has not been to college in fact he did not even graduate high school. He dropped out because he got his girlfriend pregnant at 16 had had a baby with her. He has been already married and divorced. He lives paycheck to paycheck, barely sustaining himself in the trailer that he rents with his child. Though not educated guy 2 is good with numbers and is just good at math generally. He too, is a hard working guy and he tries to do the right things, but he has a child and it's harder.
