Looking this thread over, I'm left wondering if D&D could take any inspiration from Pathfinder's implementation of a witch character class, something it's had in both first and second edition. Given that there's no discussion among Pathfinder fans (that I'm aware of) about "playing a character with levels in the witch class doesn't really feel like playing a witch," I'd presume that Paizo's succeeded in fulfilling the conceptual space that we think of a witch as occupying. What, if anything, could D&D take away from that?
