How does one prove someone is a witch?

>>46292237
Does the witch in question weigh as much as a duck?

Ask nicely, witches cannot lie.

Or was it they cannot lie in the biblical sense, lest they lose their power?

>>46292237
>>46292252
Did she turn you into a newt?

>>46292237
Burn her

Duck/wood/float, etc
Or you could kill them, and if they were honest, pious souls, they would go to Heaven.

>>46292266
Probably the latter, and that's why they look so horrible, its to make sure they stay that way.

1. Did something bad happen?
2. ITS A WIIIITCH
3. Burn alive and repeat

Make them hold a hot poker. If their hand is horribly burnt, they are innocent. If their hand is fine, WITCH

Tie them up and throw them in a pond. An innocent will sink but a witch will float.

Etc.

Tie up the alleged witch and throw her in a river. If floats, she's a witch. If she sinks/drowns, she wasn't a witch.

Torture a confession out of them, or just get the mob riled up enough and nobody will ask for proof for what everyone already knows.

How can you prove someone is not a witch?

This was secretly the reason I bought a ds as a kid but I could never find the name of the game once I found one. Thank you.

Tickle them. Witches aren't ticklish.

Also, fake tickle when you're just outside their line of sight. Do this to spot the fakers, who are obviously witches.

It could also be lepers, but it doesn't hurt to add those to the list as well.

>At the time of the writing of The Malleus Maleficarum, there were many voices within the Christian community (scholars and theologians) who doubted the existence of witches and largely regarded such belief as mere superstition. The authors of the Malleus addressed those voices in no uncertain terms, stating: “Whether the Belief that there are such Beings as Witches is so Essential a Part of the Catholic Faith that Obstinacy to maintain the Opposite Opinion manifestly savours of Heresy.”

Robespierre was right.

Well, for the sake of brevity we're just lumping lepers and witches into the same group.

However, for a more extensive test, I'd say that if you can't pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time, you're a witch.

>>46294421
What if I can rub my head and pat my tummy?

What if I can rub both of my knees, my elbows, my tummy, and pat my head while standing on foot and reciting the entirety of the bible simultaneously?

What if I can breathe fire?

>>46294248
That states the exact opposite.

>>46294176
Good thing the author wasn't the Pope.

>>46294548

Sorry, gotta be patting the head and rubbing the tummy. If you aren't ticklish, and you can't do that, then legally you're a witch (or leper, which is a distinct classification but functionally the same thing).

Look, we're leaving some outs here, and we know there's some people that this is going to be unfair to, but we've got to keep the system inflexible or else any old witch can just saunter on through the system unchecked. And at that point, what's the deal with even having an Inquisition?

Seriously, he gets a pretty shitty wrap, but the established French autocracy was undeniably tyrannical. Besides, he even denounced the radical members of the jacobite movement, and was not an anti-theist. It was pretty much a case of crushing the resistance of the revolutionary government, or allowing the government to crumble, and he chose the former.

Burn them.

Either they die and are proven innocent or they survive and you get to cut their head off.

Players in my campaign turned a woman in as a witch. Witch hunter tied her (and all of them) to wooden stake(s), whipped everyone, blessed the local pond, and had them dropped face-first into the lake. If they sank below the surface they were innocent. Woman floated and was burned.

Who executed and imprisoned political dissidents, and the same regime who a hundred years earlier burned witches at the stake?

Kay kid. That's fine. It's not like he literally killed a whole bunch of people because they where his political rivals or anything and he wanted his party to have more power. Or that he argued that you needed terror for his revolutionary government.

Protip senpai. Terror should have no place in any government, or a revolution.

Essentially the Church believed that demons needed express permission from god to posses an individual, and otherwise could not harm the individual, due to the Church agreeing with Aristotle that physical ailments come from the physical world. Thus, they believed demons used witches as a mediator to inflict curses/diseases upon individuals.

I should say I am contesting the fact that he was purposefully a power hungry tyrant.

Please stop posting. The king and the government didn't 'execute and imprison political dissidents'. They were corrupt and incompetent but not hardliners like the revolutionaries.

The whole fucking revolution happened because the government and king were too spineless and powerless to do anything about the economic woes. Famine at the same time didn't help. Literally no-one got executed by the king.

Also witch-burnings? They happened, but not by the Inquisition. It's another shitty myth.

>>46296954

Interrogate the suspect and ask if she's a witch:

1. If you get an affirmative reply, she confessed, witch detected.
2. If you get a negative reply, she is lying, witch detected.
3. If you get no reply, she is delaying justice, witch detected.

I watched most of that anime and I honestly still don't understand the premise
Like, Beatrice is a witch, but only if people believe she's a witch, so she does witch-things with her witch powers to get people to BELIEVE she's a witch, even though she's already doing witchy things with the witchy powers she doesn't have yet?

And the MC has to prove that she's not using witchy powers even though she is? or that she MIGHT not be using witchy powers?

Read the VN.
It's way more complicated, and the main point is that the actual events of what happened on the island are unknown, and so the truth gets contested. It's meta as shit, and I can't say anymore unless I spoil you. Just read it, it has a great translation by WitchHunt group.
In general, Battler is trying to prove that the events that happened on the island are not necessarily a work of magic, and therefore, AREN'T work of magic, while Beato tries to disprove any "realistic" ways of the events on the island unfolding, well, at least in the first four episodes - things change later on. It's not about what others think, it's what about Battler thinks.
Seriously, just read it.

>>46308226
One thing I can tell you, however - remember, Beato's narration is unreliable as shit. Anything that doesn't happen directly before Battler, both on the island and in the metaworld is not necessarily true. The only real truth that exists in the first four episodes has a color of red.

Large and small are cousins mine,

When greenhorns see me on their screens
Infuriating, I must seem
Please realize, I take no pleasure
in denying you my treasure
This truth I'm sure you won't deny
Need you proof? Look at mine eyes.
But if you know the magic spell,
I'll let you pass, and stories tell
my hoard of sordid, sleazy lore
will shower you with goods galore.
(If my riddle is too cryptic
you can really just google it.)

The "ex" makes it sound cool,
but it's a powerful tool
to sate all of your cravings
for "lewd Chinese engravings."
My domain is a point, next to "group" or "institution."
That's my URL. I've no doubt now your intuition
will guide your search towards a chance of fruition

Witchcraft is a form of deep heresy according to the Malleus Maleficarum. Witches were burned.
