I challenge! I've been thinking about this for quite some time, (you just gave me reason to write it all.) While I generally like what you put, I believe wholeheartedly that she would be a sorcerer. (Perhaps even unaware of her internal magic.) Because:
You decide to become a wizard in DND; while Shelby was born, and destined, for magic. That is clearly not the case for the other witches: while WC Joey was born with magic, WC Scott, Lauren, and Prismarina all definitely weren't. (I'm unclear about the others. But the term of "witch" seems to be incredibly loose.) So, Shelby was born with magic, yet still went to a school for witches, and that is all fine and good. HOWEVER, she was a horrible student, making mistakes and etcetera. She is clearly dedicated to the craft, yet she keeps failing. What if she wasn't being taught for her class of magic? And later on, she was able to open a multi-dimensional rift *on accident*. That is someone with substantial raw power. Warlock is out of the question, except when she was possessed by sculk. It gave her power, which is the whole identity of a warlock. But she already had power, she just seemed to have gotten better control over it, seemingly increasing what she already had. ANYWAYS, she also had a vision at one point, if I remember correctly, of the gnomes when she discovered the heart of the Evermoore and the portal there: more of a sorcerer trait. "The fog claims souls and those who go in there are don't come back out", well maybe the fog kept her alive because it sensed her magic. Maybe the sculk couldn't claim her as fast as it claimed Cub because of her internal magic trying to fight it. Or maybe that's why she still had some control and was able to feel the pain of the voices instead of being completely numb like promised. There are probably other things I'm missing... Oh well.
So, based on the information I gathered and remember, I'd say that Great Witch Shelby is a sorcerer, behaving as if she is a wizard.

I figured the witches were more of a guild and it fits more with her character instead of something like sage
Who should I do next?

If possible, a deity/celestial design for empires!Gem since she confirmed that she is a celestial being at some point :]
i went a little overboard here but i really like how it turned out✨️☀️
question for empires enjoyers: i had written out an entire dialogue between great witch shelby and headmaster nowls because i had planned for them to have a confrontation. obviously that’s not how things went in the end. but would you be interested in seeing what the dialogue was?
corrupted shubble in a tank top was not what I expected from sausage’s video but it was what I needed lmao
haven’t drawn buff shubble in a while! so of course I jumped at this opportunity
not my fav piece but I like it enough to post :)
Unsurprisingly I cant stop drawing the nosy neighbours
They just such besties that be always watching T-T
Also down here is where I got the earing concept from vvv
A thousand words I could've said, and yet I still chose the ones that hurt you
When does her trauma start?
POV: You stared directly at the sun.
(Been awhile since I made Shubble fanart and felt inspired by this sunshine girl! Very Anne of Green Gables-core!)

wait i just realised that since wc!shelby is e!shelby, that means she would have like. the weirdest perspective on everyone else because she’s experienced pretty much the same things as half the other contestants
Getting possessed by a malevolent entity that makes her yell at her crush? check Effectively cast out of her home due to something with her magic? slightly different circumstances but check Dealing with a weird corruption thing that grows as she gets stronger? check Having a ton of voices in her head at once? definitely not to the same extent as cleo but check
I just think it’s neat
(Now excuse me while i go try and figure out what the fuck to do with the shubble double au now)
*slides in* IDK IF THIS IS TOO LATE BUT CAN I REQUEST PIRATE JOE SHELBY AND KATHERINE HANGING OUT? They can be having a nice time or maybe a less nice time depending on if Joey and Shelby can get along
They dressed up as eachother for Halloween :D
