Repaying someone is a witch. It's a phrase commonly used to describe the act of paying someone back for a favor or debt. However, it does not literally mean that the act of repaying someone is witchcraft. Rather, this phrase suggests that repaying someone can be a difficult or challenging task. It implies that the person who did the favor or provided the loan might expect something in return that could be hard to fulfill. It also implies that repaying someone can sometimes feel like a magical feat, as it requires finding the means or resources to fulfill the obligation.
Tomás has already laid the basis for my answer.
Whatever she does, she must always be clear to her customers and her neighbours about what she can do for them and when how she punishes people using magic. I can charge as much as Cristiano Ronaldo does for kicking a ball while wearing shorts, but I am sure I would find nobody willing to pay that amount, while Ronaldo does.
It also implies that repaying someone can sometimes feel like a magical feat, as it requires finding the means or resources to fulfill the obligation. The phrase "repaying someone is a witch" can also be interpreted as a playful way to acknowledge the effort and dedication required to fulfill a debt or favor. It acknowledges that sometimes repaying someone can feel like a daunting task, but that it is ultimately necessary and often appreciated.

Closed 4 years ago .I am writing a medieval fantasy novel. In my world, magic exists, but there are not a lot of people with magical powers. If a witch can summon rain and heal people, how much should she charge people for her magic? Also, in a semi-realistic way, how would she gain political power from it? Edit: Thank you guys for the great answers.

The question is: Is it a nice witch? A greedy witch? Does she want to be rich and powerful? If she wants to be rich the question is how many other witches are there what would do it for less money? $\endgroup$

(Lost labour, doctors' fees, importing food, etc) That's a maximum. Both of those are based on various rules you set for your story regarding Magic and the economy. Once you decide that, you can start to home in on an answer for this question $\endgroup$

Please note that the Worldbuilding SE is dedicated to providing detailed answers to specific questions you have while developing your fictional world. However, we do not handle issues of stories or characters existing within that world; both the questions you've posed here (character's price preferences and character's path forward) fall into this category, likely leading to close for being primarily story-based.
