Hope these help you:
1. Witch's oil here refers to the condition of the sea that was still and silent like a dead sea. It changed colors just like it happens when a witch heats oil.
2. Death fires here refers to the fiery nature of the sea which does not have the capability to sustain life. That is why they are known as death fires.
3. The phrase 'like a witch's oil' uses simile as a figure of speech.
