The Wisdom is a healer, a teacher, and a guiding figure in the Two Rivers. They are the head of the Women's Circle, and so hold great power and influence throughout the town and surrounding areas. Once appointed, a Wisdom generally serves for life.

7 What is a Channeler? Josha Stradowski December 19, 2021 Twitter
A channeler is a person who's capable of drawing the One Power from the True Source. With proper training, you can do wonderful and terrible things. Untrained channelers also exist, though generally they're not as powerful and knowledgeable. Either way, using the One Power comes with great risk.
