It's true that witches were killed, but I thought that there was some sort of spells to remove her power, or a certian kind of metal that when worn, could disable her power while she wore it. Know anything about it?

This is the closest thing I could find:  Authorities commonly burned the remains of the witch in order to protect themselves and the town against any evil she might wish upon them in death.
