Part A - Survey Plan: How much influence the Inquisition had on magical trials from 1199 to 1580 in Central Europe. This survey is aimed at comprehensively evaluating the influence of the Inquisition, the Pagan, the Witch, and the Witch. The information sources used for the study were three written materials including secondary material and key material, as follows: Witchcraft of Robert Hart, Wizards and Witchcraft of Jerry Kingston, and Allen Coles and Edward Peters in the European magic of Charles 400-1700.

The fear of magic, or the fear of Wicker Craf was formerly Christian European and American social norms. The period from the 14th century inquisition to the 17th century witch trial was called "the burning era". In 1706, Grace Sherwood faced magical charges in Williamsburg, Virginia. Her trial of a dawn of a reasonable age revealed conflict between science and superstition. The witness testified that Grace caused people to attack by ghosts, but the court did not believe in so-called "spectral evidence". Immediately after the trial, spectral evidence was officially banned from the trial

Magic trials are the most common in Central Europe, Germany, France, Switzerland and now Belgium now. In Scotland, Scandinavia, Poland, witch trials are not very common. In the UK, Russia, Southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal), magical practice is not very common. Hungary escaped the witch trial and execution until the early 18th century. (Hungarians do not believe in magic, but the trial was imposed by Austrians). Furthermore, the frequency of the witch trial changes with time. In Western Europe, the first witch hunting was done in France and Germany in the 15th century (many of them were tried and convicted of magic). In the 16th century, the witch flocked to England and Scotland. (UK and Scottish parliament passed the law on magic in 1563). In Western Europe, the witch trial peaked from the late 16th century to the early 17th century and then declined.

Although the Inquisition began in the late Middle Ages, in early modern times witch hunting in Europe started from the witch trial in the early 15th century and began to become serious. For example, in the UK, the first bill for magic was "Dehæreticodomburendo", which was passed under the direction of Archbishop Thomas Arundel in 1401. It naming witches and witches in particular as hereties, as long as defendant witches abandon these beliefs, they declare they will burn. In 1543 in 1604 the Queen Elizabeth I and James I and II passed a broader magic bill, magic became a felony and the witches of the accused were transferred from the jurisdiction of the church court to the ordinary court. The appeal itself is not done in the UK, but the procedures are equivalent.
