I wish I could ease your minds in these troubling times but the honest truth is I'm not done figuring out the 'exact' mechanics of the kin-list shennanigans.
What I can tell you, is that when I first started playing this game your HS was your most prized possession and you didn't give it to anybody because you could 'port' to a players base with it. Salem did just fine under this mechanic so the sky will not fall.
However, I like the idea that traders can be more reachable through the HS mechanic on the forums so I am a bit conflicted here.
As it stands though. Witch Hunters do indeed just wish to have the DESCRIBE of a witch. I.E. A witch will in all cases want to avoid being memorized AND suspected of WitchCraft. False Accusations of course carry a decent penalty to the accuser, and all who join in on the mob. As for Witches cursing pilgrims through the Kin List. This is partly due to the ease of 'targeting' players remotely, but I still think its reasonable that the Witch has something of yours in order to do so. Is that something as simple as a piece of clothing you touched? Or perhaps you vomited in town and they secretly scooped it up and brought it home. Either way, I still think its reasonable that players had more than a simple HS that lead them to their ill-interactions with Witches.
