'''Malificae''' is a genderxenogender that is in some way related to magic or witchcraft.<ref>[http://archive.is/OmjOL Malificae (archive)] (original lost) ([https://xenogenderarchive.tumblr.com/post/185923243943/malificae-a-gender-that-is-related-to-witchcraft reblog])</ref> It's up for the user’s interpretation, but it may have a magical or "witchy" feel. It may have connections to spells, sigils, rituals, and other types of magic. It may feel related to a specific path or practice of magic. For example, a cottage witch might experience it as being homely, cozy and related to nature, while a sea witch may experience it as simultaneously harsh and gentle, vast, and liquid. Malificae is a personalized gender so that means it's something different for everyone. One does not have to practice witchcraft to be this gender.
It does not have a suffix that can be replaced with a gender (e.g. it can’t be used as malificaexoy), but if paired with another gender, it may look like this: “I’m a [[xoy]] and malificae.” “They’re a malificae lykh, but they’re also [[juxera]].” “Kit is a malificae [[Woman|girl]].” However, it can be <ins>paired</ins> <ins>with</ins> <ins>prefixes</ins> and <ins>suffixes</ins> <ins>(e.g.</ins> <ins>malificaefluid,</ins> <ins>malificaeflux</ins>, <ins>demimalificae)</ins>.
Malificae is similar to [[witchgender]],; however, malificaeMalificae is a broader term, while witchgender is a specific gender. In theits first definition, witchgender is associated with [[feminine]] and androgynous expression, while malificaeMalificae is less specific and more individual.
Similar gendersterms include [[beltanicBeltanic]], [[lunarchthonicgender]], [[magicgender]], [[witchcoricmagiogender]], [[witchgenderwitchcoric]], and [[witmilian]].
