Ideal for: The budding herbologist with a knack for
mixing plants (and powdered insects) into powerful potions. A love for cats
an advantage.
Job specifications: You heal, you curse, you make people fall in love—or
so you claim. While the potency of your brew is up for debate, nobody in the
village is brave enough to question your skills on the off chance that you
will turn them into a toad.
Perks: You have a lovely hut in a secluded part of the forest, far away
from the hustle and bustle of village life. You enjoy fame, possibly
fortune, and if you’re really good, can use your own skills to bewitch a
wandering prince. Nice broom provided.
Drawbacks: There’s always the risk of you being blamed for everything,
including famine and the death of small children. Your “magical mystique”
scares away most men, so the chances of marriage are abysmally slim. Plus …
you will most likely be burned at the stake, thrown into the river with
heavy rocks tied to your ankles, or crucified upside down by the very
villagers you have served the whole of your professional life. The ingrates.
