So ya don't want the traditional with stirring her pot of (whatever that
happens to be). Let's check out the other extreme: the witches of Salem.
What did they do? Not a whole hell of a lot. Some of them may have been
into voodoo, but that's about it, and we're about to find out where to get
voodoo rules. I don't think we want that either... a witch would just be a
mundane (maybe a phys ad) that's been accused of doing something impossible
to do. I don't think we want that either.
So now, we have to define: what, in real life terms, do we want our
resident witch to do, exactly? Don't go quoting mythological references
I've never read (mythology bores me, at best), but give concrete examples
of what this witch would do. Thenn {then and only then.. see iff} could be
begin to write down rules for this 3rd... err, 4th... err, 5th type of
magic.
