"We're under no spell," Astra responded angrily. "Tell us the truth."
"But you are under a spell, whether you realise it or not. To an experienced witch like myself, that was obvious at once. Its precise nature is less certain. When I attempt to lift it, you may feel some pain. You may also lose control of your limbs for a short while. The shackles will prevent you from thrashing about and possibly harming yourselves. I'm about to spinkle some powder over you. Do not be alarmed. It is harmless, but it is a necessary part of the procedure." The witch took up a bowl filled with a white powder and sprinkled it liberally over Freda and Astra. Then she began a long incantation. During the course of it, they suffered muscle cramps and found themselves twitching, but the chains held them fast. Then they lost consciousness. When they came round, the chains had been removed.
