First Frost Forecast
A weather witch sells frost forecasts that come true only if buyers believe them—skeptics wake frostbitten for free. Panic buying empties the markets. Debunk the forecast without killing the crops, steal the crystal that seeds belief, or plant a rumor that freezes only the witch's enemies.
