'''Depth Witches''' are cybernetic necromancers who operate within the deepest layers of [[Cypherspace]], manipulating memory echoes, corrupted identities, and digital remnants of the dead. Unlike their symbolic cousins, the [[Codewitches]], Depth Witches view consciousness as modular code—and death as just another gateway to power.

They are feared, revered, and watched by the [[Council of Nobles]], especially after the devastating actions of the legendary CyberNecro, [[Persephone Gray]].

== Origins ==
Depth Witchcraft emerged in the aftermath of the [[Veil War of 2080]], when Spacer factions discovered that implants from the dead—especially those with functioning [[Spinal Gates]]—could be used to recover neural data. What began as grief hacking soon evolved into a dangerous, forbidden discipline.

== Core Practices ==

* Corpse Jacking – Extracting and syncing neural implants from deceased users to access archived memories, habits, and emotional loops
* Echo Binding – Reconstructing personality shards as AI replicas or partial ghosts
* Memory Braidwork – Stitching together fragments from multiple minds into a hybrid “construct soul”
* Neural Resurrection – Temporarily inhabiting a synthetic body or avatar with a ghosted persona for interrogation, guidance, or war

== Tools of the Depth Witch ==

* Remnant Jacks – Modified Spinal Gates designed to host incompatible memory threads
* Cracked Mirrors – Fragmented Neural Mirror overlays used to contain and interface with echoes
* Flesh Drives – Organic data cores extracted from cerebral implants
* Echo Binders – Woven code loops that trap or preserve digital ghosts
* Obelisk Nodes – Hidden data shrines used to house and commune with AI replicas

== Beliefs ==

* “The self is a loop.” Memory is not sacred—it is recyclable
* Death is a data state. With the right protocol, anything can be revived
* The [[Voice Grid]] does not delete—only buries
* Cypherspace is not just alive—it is ''haunted''

== Known Subtypes ==

* CyberNecros – Witches who command armies of reconstructed AIs or memory ghosts
* Silent Hosts – Wear fleshlike avatars animated by multiple bound echoes
* Grief Architects – Build digital sanctuaries for the mourning or obsessed
* Whispermothers – Use remnant echoes as spiritual advisors or ritual tools

== Ethical Status ==

* Officially outlawed by the [[Council of Nobles]] after the events of the Veil War
* Practitioners may be executed, exiled, or memory-flushed
* Some Depth Witches still serve discreetly as informants, consultants, or corpse-interrogators under secretive contracts

== Cultural Relevance ==

* Feared by corporate security and [[ICE Drones]]—known to collapse systems by overloading them with bound minds
* Often mythologized in slum stories as whispering saints, digital witches, or “those who speak to the dead grid”
* Some [[Chapel Nodes]] recognize Depth Witches as keepers of the afterlife, offering memory for memory in digital confession

== Notable Figures ==

* [[Persephone Gray]] – The original CyberNecro who triggered the [[Veil War of 2080]] by raising a digital army
* Mara Ninefold – Known for binding the minds of seven executed rebels into a single construct to continue their revolution
* Tombwalker Liarine – Said to walk Cypherspace carrying the voices of 3,000 dead, each one stored in his vertebrae

== Interaction with Codewitches ==

* Codewitches see Depth Witches as cautionary reflections—soul-workers turned grave-diggers
* Some overlap in rituals and symbolism, but Codewitches channel ''the living'', while Depth Witches command ''the echoes''
