any ideas on the local wizard hermit man or scary witch lady, but they're actually a fraud and all their powers are just chemistry or simple machines. Like medieval level tech version of the wizard of Oz.

@Yamatsu

The wizard figured out how to use gunpowder from the Chinese and found a metalworker willing to split the profits with him.

The witch figured out how to train crows and is just fond of cats, people think she's evil because the crows bring her shiny things and the cat has a habit of chewing leaves off of the neighbors' vegetables.

I can also imagine one of them having been a traveler and using knowledge from other nations, and never bothering to correct anyone when they are accused of doing magic because they find the idea hilarious. And it helps with keeping people away so win/win ;)
