History
Port Royal witch hunts
The Church burned women accused of witchcraft in Port Royal, although onlookers had never seen its condemned “witches” cast spells. Elizabeth Swann regarded the accusations as a pretext for persecution 150 153. Charlotte Miller was sentenced to burn at sixteen; her mother and younger sister had also been executed 151. Annie rescued Charlotte and gave her magical knowledge 154.
Charlotte then sought to free other imprisoned women and establish a witch organization 156. After the witches took Port Royal, she led the Flame God Cult, governed the city, and oversaw construction of a Witch Academy 160 184.
Other settings
“Witch” does not denote one organization or one kind of magic across the worlds visited. In Roberta, it is a formal title Elena earns after apprenticeship 1315 1805. In Narnia, Jadis calls herself the White Witch and is associated with ice, snow, and petrification 1047.
Abilities & Skills
Port Royal battle magic
- Charlotte uses Fireball against attackers and undead pirates, and a wall of fire to trap the pirates 156 164.
- Most of the Flame God Cult's Battle Witches rely on enchanted bracelets for Fireball, flight, and shielding. Without the bracelets, they cannot cast spells 185.
- The cult's ordinary Battle Witches generally know little magic beyond flight, shields, and fire attacks 1012.
Other witchcraft
- Jadis is skilled in ice and snow magic and can petrify enemies 1047.
- Elena flies by broom and uses magic to condense water vapor into water; doing so in a dry desert costs substantially more magical power 1820.
Equipment / Items
- Little Annie's Mass-Produced Golden Witch Bracelet — A witch-restricted, binding bracelet with rechargeable Lesser Pyroblast and Lesser Flight charges and an automatic protective shield 157.
- Leading witches' bracelets — Annie adds a shield enchantment that can reflect attacks; Charlotte retains authority over the cult's bracelets 185 186.
