I know this is a kind of small detail, but I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to writing and literature; there were no real trials against witches in the middle ages. They threw them in the water and if they floated, they were somehow witches. I know if you follow this advice, it will ruin the story, and I don't expect you to.

Good story so far, anyway.

Good luck. Actually, from what I know. the Salem witch trials were actually a thing around 1692. They really couldn't be called "trials" by today's standards, like the one depicted in the story. About twenty people were kileed, fourteen of them women. Against common knowledge of being burned or drowned, most witches were hanged. Anyway, not really much to add to what the others said about the story, now it seems pretty great.
