Hmm, not quite the nefarious rival I was expecting, but still good!

Also, we have already intervened by inducing a miscast and keeping her from exploding the Witch Hunter. Be a shame to stop now.

IMO training would require more than just one or two tricks. She could just be re-using the first 'spell' she figured out.

I'm a bit torn. I think the witch is probably more "innocent" than guilty, but Erika herself is in a fairly precarious position. The witch immediately defaulting to attempted murder, with possible collateral, in the middle of a party tilts me to not being the most interested in helping.

An additional factor is I think I am more interested in reading about Erika trying to have her revenge on the people who sicced the witch hunter on her than in the train of events I foresee emerging from intervening.

She only cast one spell here, and it was an uncontrolled mess channeled through her own flesh, no proper Necromancy.
The other thing she did was feed energy to the ghost of her brother, enough to let him manifest. We don't know if that part was done intentionally or not.

The witch hunter seems pretty unreliable to me. Anything that goes against him seems a good choice.

Also, we can lie and say it was 100% Verena seeking justice, which is something her priestess might even back us up on.

The templar falsely accused her brother and burned him in front of her. I'm not going to accept that she's 'gone too far' after that, especially watching the templar try and do the same thing again to another innocent.

The colleges won't get much use out of her with her arms turned to stone. On the other hand this is the second time she's made us look good and the first one saved our life.

I suspect we'll lose this one at trial and she'll burn anyway but I don't think we get stabbed doing it this time and the witch hunter is already our enemy. Let's give her a chance.

Agreed, considering the priestess had a miscast and believe that it was in the spectres right to take vengeance, that would a point toward innocence and I believe that's enough for us to intervene.

Magical Senpai to the rescue

So what you're saying is that she's another disaster wizard?

...well, I already voted to save her but that would clinch it if I hadn't.
 
If she has had training in necromancy, it was probably by whoever got her brother implicated for whatever he burned for. Cut ties, create emnity for the Empire, all in a latent talent that only the necromancer saw. She'd probably happily go to the pyre if she could bring the necromancer who framed her brother with her.
