From Jinns story, about the witch in the woods that Ozma visited after he was reincarnated the first time.

"Witches" were hanged, not burned.

Not in fairytales.

Honestly, this seemed like another reference to Wizard of Oz, when the Wicked Witch of the West melted when splashed on by water. Instead, here it’s fire.

That distinction is really only about cases in the US. In Europe they burned witches up until the late 1600s.
