Current Talk '03 II / Re:How Did Angelique Get Her Powers?
« on: October 31, 2003, 10:29:31 PM »
Well, in the original 1795 story, Angelique's powers start out as very much the traditional Hedge Witch variety. She needs a lot more to cast her spells in this first story than is the case later on. I don't believe the Devil is ever mentioned by her, although of course Abby and the Rev think about him constantly--the sign of a really devoted servant (!).
In 1968, there's at least one scene there where CassAngelique is doing her thing (I believe it's the scene where she's killing Lang with her handy little voodoo doll), and she mentions conversationally that her powers come from "the Devil Himself." This notion plays out with the eventual scenes where Nicky and Ange visit Hell.
In 1897, Ange starts out as a more or less independent supernatural being, then reverts to more Devil talk as the storyline advances. There's a scene where she's casting one of her fire spells and she mentions that she's promised the Prince of Fire Quentin's soul.
just a few stray thoughts, grist for your mill.
