		Others hold, as to this point, that for a time the promise made to the witch sentenced to imprisonment is to be kept, but that after a time she should be burned.
		A third view is, that the judge may safely promise witches to spare their lives, if only he will later excuse himself from pronouncing the sentence and will let another do this in his place....

		Witches tend to study what could be loosely catalogued as "fl magic" - some of them lean towards neutral use, and in rare cases, good use of such magics, but that is the exception rather than the rule.
		Of course, a witch would never define what she does as fl magic, for in the mind of a witch magic is merely a tool to be used, and they believe if they were not intended to use it as they wished, they would not possess the abilities they do.
		Witches believe in a natural balance between suffering and compassion, and therefore they do not worry about whether or not their magic helps or harms so long as they achieve the results they desire.

		It is regarded as a typical witchcraft practice; the Biblical 'Witch' of Endor is supposed to have performed it, and it is among the witchcraft practices condemned by Aelfric.
