The primary function of the Witch Hunter Trainer is to dismantle empathy. A successful hunter cannot see a witch as a neighbor, a healer, or a victim; they must see a threat . The trainer achieves this through rigorous ideological indoctrination. Lessons are not merely technical but deeply moral, couched in a binary worldview of absolute good versus irredeemable evil. Trainees learn to recognize the "signs"—a mole, a whispered rhyme, an independent spirit—not as harmless human variations but as malignant markers of corruption. In this pedagogy, the trainer weaponizes semiotics, turning the mundane into the monstrous. The historical Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches) served precisely this purpose, providing clerics and judges with a training manual that framed torture and execution not as cruelty, but as a divine mercy and a civic duty. The trainer’s voice echoes through such texts, teaching that the absence of tears is proof of a pact with Satan, and that a confession, no matter how coerced, is the ultimate victory of truth over lies.

Always match the witch’s highest stat to the mission profile (e.g., high corruption for cult infiltration).

Trainers pass down secret recipes for holy oils, silver-infused ammunition, and anti-magic poultices.
