A story to scare children, an old wives tale, a face briefly glimpsed in a nightmare: most think the witch of the wood to be nothing more than these. The few who know her to be more know little about her. Her age, origin and true nature are all lost to the endless decades she has haunted the Ashwood.

• Place a curse on a hated foe
