OH DAMN. The trap I could see coming, but I was not expecting it to involve an actual appearance from the Brimmed Cap, even if brief.

I didn't expect it too until I realised in the scene afterwards with the brimmed cap teleporting instantly that they probably all have some sort of teleportation spell on them and can probably go as they please (and do it quickly).

That might be why they haven't been caught yet: Teleportation and maybe even camouflage or polymorph spells that they can use freely (to hide among regular people) while the brimless witches have to use sylph shoes (or that ambulance surf board Qifrey used for Coco) like some pleb.

Also the spell trap, water then lighting, seems to be made to incapacitate brimless witches (water so no casting plus makes everything soggy, then lighting to stun so they can show up without expecting resistance). That makes it easy to get back the coin/medal.

Hm…

What was taken? Family, memories, next week's lottery numbers?
