This is actually something I take from and love about Terry Pratchett's interpretation of witches. See wizards and witches are cleanly delineated (god bless Eskarina Smith i love her with my whole heart), wizards do spellcraft and study, zappy wands and lots of writing and experiments and explosions. witches dont. their magic is understanding the true nature of things and knowing where to push. they communicate and form connections and actually do the hard work nobody else bothers to
