Oh my, there sure was more where that came from... this time with process! Two volums later (which I didn't have before) the witch is released from her petrification... and by that time the youth potion has long since worn off, so she quickly ages a few hundred years.

Also, she turns green.

But wait! Another contrived plot device appears! The original ritual could only be performed when the stars were right, once every 600 years, and only lasted for a day or two (kinda crappy deal if you ask me). But with the introduction of a magic mirror that can somehow re-align the stars, she drinks another potion and positions the stars so they can begin rejuvenating her again.

Apparently she intends to fixate the mirror somehow so she stays young and beautiful forever this time. But the mirror gets broken before she can do that, so she just keeps getting younger...

(Excuse me if I got a few details wrong, as I don't really read French.)
