So I think I mentioned I’ve been going through the discworld books and I really like the witches series (and I’m including Tiffany Aching as part of that). Super short version: while witches do use magic and have to deal with magical threats most of the time they wind up just using a bit psychology (or “headology”), practical advice and maybe a smidge of magic to take care of their town.
So it got me thinking about making a town where they have a witch for their problems and the stories would be about her having to deal with the town’s problems, only using magic when absolutely necessary.
For example:
1. Young woman comes to the witch and reports she feels she’s been ensorcelled by another woman.
“Oh you don’t understand. When I see her hair loosed from her bonnet it is as though I can focus on nothing else. When she speaks I am struck deaf and all I can focus on is her lips. At night all I can think of is the way her clothes cling to her so tightly.”
Obviously she’s smitten but the witch knows she can’t just come out and say it, especially if the other girl isn’t interested. So she comes up with a plan.
“Ah, I worry you might be right child. But I worry more this girl you lo-look at so intently may also be under the sway of a darker force. I shall invite her here at once. I want you to return here in your best dress and bring the finest food you can spare and I’ll have her do the same. Now listen closely: I shall cast a spell on the food. It will be your job to keep her in this house until the spell takes effect.”
She tells the other girl the same and after a night together the two of them are “cured” (they are no longer so smitten they can’t get through the day) but witch says the symptoms may return so they will need to share a house together so they can further fight off the magical malady.
2. “My nephew turns into a terrible beast at night! Ever since he was grown I hear moaning from hisroom and his sheets are sometimes stained with a most curious fluid.”
“goodie Sara…have you ever been with a man?”
“Oh yes, I was with my father until I was grown, but I don’t see what that has to do with my nephew! He goes out at all hours and sometimes I swear I have seen four if not six legs under his covers! We must call a hunter!”
“I think I might have a faster solution.”
Next morning witch comes by, her petticoats missing and her bonnet half done.
“Yes, I’m afraid your nephew may need some further treatments. I will employ him as my assistant. He can share my…I mean I have a spare bedroom for him and his friends”
“What?”
“I have a spare bed for him, he has a job, no need for anymore questions.”
