9 Thought provoking comment from an NPC. If the witches have mystical powers, then why can't they break free from a stake? (media.scored.co) posted 2 months ago by Mrexreturns 2 months ago by Mrexreturns +10 / -1 14 comments share 14 comments share save hide report block hide replies
a) Mystical power implies conjuring myst/mist within the minds of others aka ignorance.
b) A witch doesn't break free...a witch utilizes free will of choice to tempt others to bind themselves.
c) Being burned (life) at the stake (inception towards death)....implies ones life at stake, hence burn/bærnan (to kindle) + beornan (be on fire).
The process of dying sucks the warmth out of life...simultaneously decay is generating heat.
d) As for witch-burning...WHICH WITCH?
She turned me into a newt!
