Bev Good can never become fully 'human' again. This was not her choice. Sometimes, change must happen. She wishes though, that she could have preserved what once was. That if nothing else -- the option was on the table. That aside, preservation is important for further study of the human body.

The Witch is a master herbalist and can cure any number of illnesses and diseases with her special potions. She goes into the wilderness to find the proper set of herbs. Once she has what she's looking for, she mixes them together and boils the concoction. Steam rises from the mixture, twisting into recognizable shapes such as animals and spirits. The whole process takes about fifteen minutes, after which the patient must drink the entire mixture. They are immediately cured.
The proper preparation varies from person to person, so a single batch cannot be used to treat multiple people.
