Romania is to license its witches to make it possible to jail them if their spells do not work.
The country, a member of the European Union, has just presented a draft bill to its parliament after complaints that some witches were scamming gullible customers.
Witchcraft has been part of Romanian culture for centuries.
On Jan. 1, the nation changed its laws to recognize witchcraft as a profession, and the new bill would require witches to provide customers with receipts.
