but night trolls are opposed to all life (or at least to all adventurers) so you can't get their procedurally generated stuff in cauldrons without killing them first (which would also mean you can only get once batch of it)

Yeah, but ultimately, changing that would be a good idea, too.  "Always Chaotic Evil" makes the world a bit less interesting (and makes it feel less dynamic) -- I like the idea that, occasionally, you can be at peace with goblins, and they'll bring trade caravans.

Some stuff that could go into witches...

 - An advanced herbalism and brewing/potion system (as described by Dirst)
 - Improvements to the knowledge system (historical figures can find, synthesize, record and learn knowledge related to brewing)
 - A world-gen role for historical figures that isolate themselves to seek knowledge/study things (shamans, witches, sages, hermits, etc.)
 - More secrets, more scenarios to learn and use secrets
 - A framework for historical figures to seek out and combine knowledge and secrets.
