| Jun 26, 2021 at 23:48 | comment | added | releseabe | okay. and i do think that witches or other magical beings could be referring to lack of magic without implying that they themselves are immortal. sort of like the term "muggle" in the obscure Harry Potter books, if you have heard of them. | |

| Jun 26, 2021 at 19:45 | comment | added | releseabe | based on the latin root, mortal has something to do with death, not being human vs supernatural. | |
| Jun 26, 2021 at 19:09 | comment | added | Wade | @releseabe For example in Sabrina someone who's a half-witch was called 'half-mortal' although they were just as 'immortal' as witches. So I don't think it meant half-perishable-by-death, just half-human. | |
