You could change it to a +4 to resist Overawe, Ridicule and Bluff, and then
make the disadvantage a -4 to Persuasion in that the witch's dark humor
makes others uneasy.

All in all, this talk of witches has me thinking of doing an update to that
AB.  I may use pacts but not in the same way you have.  Hope you don't mind.

"You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Ghost Rock, son. Nothing else in the
world smells like that. I love the smell of ghost rock in the morning. You
know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over
I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Yank body. The
smell, you know that sulphurous smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...
victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."
