Mostly D’s: You are a conflicted witch.

You are not sure about your powers, whether you want them and how they should be used. You worry that magic can be abused or that people will misinterpret your intentions. Still, you know the only way to make up your mind is to study hard and learn all about magic as you can. When you stop running from your magic, you will become a most well-informed and academic witch.
