      Wizards are okay. Warlocks are the evil ones.

    No no. If your curshed to death than your not a witch. /s did not read but seems like so many of the tests were if you survive then your a witch.

      Being crushed was a form of torture to force him to submit to a rigged witch trial. He just stood his ground (metaphorically) and asked for more torture.

    I have a hard time feeling bad for someone that got away with murder, but pretty sure I wouldn’t have the fortitude today to resist that treatment, let alone when I’m 80
