Those powerful enough to become heiresses of the entire clan matriarchy also undergo an intense duel to prove their worth the role of the leader is also entrusted with watching over the Left Eye of the World. Bayonetta has a pact with Madama Butterfly and Jeanne has a pact with Madama Styx. When the Witch dies, her soul goes directly to Inferno as part of their contract. The demon's silhouette is seen instead of the Witch's shadow to reflect this. In order to gain their power, all Umbra Witches make a pact with an Infernal Demoness to sponsor them and allow them to improve their power (perhaps as part of their Vows,) which allows them to summon the fists and feet of their sponsor to attack their enemies. Upon becoming a woman, a trainee would take the "Witchly Vows" and become a full-fledged Umbra Witch, although some candidates of particular skill and achievement were permitted to take their vows earlier than this. Children born in the Witches' homeland of Crescent Valley were taught the workings of Spirit Energy from a young age, and would thus manifest abilities-if they had them-at an earlier age than children born elsewhere, although what constitutes an "earlier" age is unspecified.

While well versed in the supernatural and metaphysical arts, they were also keen in the arts of alchemy, chemistry, acrobatics, firearms training, medicine, anatomical health, and (what could be assumed) various sciences and technological prowess of many sorts, to temper and refine their body and soul in the process of handling the powerful forms of magic that they would come to wield. Through the harnessing of Spirit Energy, Umbra Witches were practitioners of magic revolving around the influence of the moon and the evocation of beings from Inferno.
