Considering that Prisma Illya now has a Xehanort and a Nobody, its not terribly unlikelyAnd then Xehanort showed up.

So cores are a higher sub-rank of Divinity? Is it possible for there to be a Magical Girl with Divinity who does not poses a fragrant/remains/whatever of a ruined Divine Being? And how did the rise of MG change gender views? I cant recall that being mentioned, it may have but i don't remember.

There seems to be two axes of danger in this quest.
The first is things that are just really big and tough. A house-sized tank can break things because it's the size of a house, made of metal, and has big guns. Nukes hit really hard. Magical Girl White Knight can unleash huge attacks or approximate a cuisinart. You can just look at the numbers and see just how much they outclass you.
Next is what I like to think of as the "bullshit" parameter, anything that defies simple numerical classification goes here. A current example would be Sixth Heaven's The Blood And The Dirt and Tear the Gods from their Heights abilities. More commonly, anyone that has flight enjoys a good amount of bullshit in their favor. These abilities keep everyone on their toes, worried that their foe won't die when they are killed.
And, of course, lots of the things Solid Core is about to face have both. Consider the Spawn of Mayhem, which has lots of Health and Damage to go with an Affinity-negating ability. The Four Goddesses have lots of both types of danger, particularly Goddess Gold who has the BULLSHIT ability to counter all your bullshit.
The trick to staying alive is to not run into things that can crush you, and avoiding the things that make it so you can't kill them. Follow that guideline and your fight will be much longer than the average value. Perhaps even long enough to get the particular bullshit ability that lets you humiliate things that you would have never dared face before.

There's actually a fairly limited selection of things you can wreak. Destruction, vengeance, havoc, etc.
The word you want is "wreck".
*pet peeve intensifies*
@crystalwatcher, I have a question. I remember someone ask before whether Akashic Pillar was making something like FF7 Materia you confirm the pillar was making them. Are those Materia in essence similar to FF7 Materia? Using one would allow anyone gain magic or used magic they don't have? If it true, can Nepgear acquire them for Team Gear to enhance them? And can Magical Girl used them? And how they are make?
Another question. It is possible for someone else like say Samael to used Nepgear mana to enhance their equipment? And can Magical Girl own equipment like Solid Core Purifier Beam be enhance through regular method?

Okay, since people seem to have missed this:
This was a joke, a reference to the fact that Nepgear has grown so fast compared to Judgement Core and the Drives. I accidentally hit "post reply" instead of "preview."
Most magical girls after all, don't have Nepgear's luck. If they did they'd have died on the first day.
Then get resurrected to be killed by Solid Core on the second day

So what you're saying is... I should run Candy Heart Quest.
Fairly sure she'd been a Magical Girl for a while by that point.
Hmm, a quest detailing her adventurers before everything went to shit would be interesting...

In order:

Quite a lot. I've never planned on going too heavily into it myself, so I haven't thought it all out, but off the top of my head I can guarantee that most societies that marginalize women got almost collectively upturned like a kitchen table.
At the moment the whole Materia thing is still in the "checking to see if it can even a thing" stage. There's some promising results, but nothing concrete yet. There's also the fact that a lot of the funding for the project is split between it and several others like the magi-tech system from FF8.
When Magic became a thing, one of the first places that literally everyone looked to once the Great Crusade ended was the more popular fantasy settings. D&D, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy, Wheel of Time, ect. Because we had no idea where to even begin.
Some of the earliest breakthroughs were from those that had been inspired by Nasu-verse magecraft, which lead to it influencing a lot of the recent naming conventions. It's why the military is known as the Counter Force and not something else, like Arcadia Corp, or something even stupider. You have to remember that Humanity is really new to the whole idea of magic, unlike the rest of the LDC. We're still learning how to chuck fireballs or call down icestorms, so pretty much anything like Materia is still in the theoretical and experimental stages.
It's possible, yes. But they both run into the fact Magical Girl powers are weird, even when compared to normal Human Magic.
Some weapons literally cease to exist when their Girl returns to their normal state, rendering such enhancements pointless. Still others have magic that would overwhelm whatever was attempted on their items. Though some girls have managed to get "upgrades" such as additional armor to their outfits, or better weaponry, thanks to the efforts of others.
As for using them as a power source? Not very many people have thought of that. Both Samael and Lucky have both been getting ideas recently because of the Core Connection (Sam because of how long he's had it, Lucky because she's a magical prodigy the likes of which come about only once a millennium) and will likely start looking into utilizing the power that's been imbued into them.

This is a hint. I know it's a hint. And it's driving me bonkers at the moment because I can't figure it out! RAGE!

*goes cross-eyed at the idea of expies being in a world where their source characters originated as fictional characters*
I'm just going to pretend that the media in this verse was different, though similar. Such as Fate/Stay Night being more to the original concept, which was made into Fate/Prototype.

The jokes are everywhere. Most of them have already been made.
Rei is not amused despite Ichi laughing her ass off. And saying otherwise.
You missed my edit.

I guess that's ok.
Anyway, I noticed that I unintentionally snuck in a running gag somehow and completely missed it.
Any one else catch it?

I can't offer any insight on who Ms. Reality Bubble might be, but here's something that's been bugging me.This is a hint. I know it's a hint. And it's driving me bonkers at the moment because I can't figure it out! RAGE!
Consider the following:
Solid Core can forge a connection to the ???? Core to boost the power of her team. This boost applies at full power to Angels, Fairies, and spell-casting Humans. Boosted team-mates get to summon little pink sparks and cut the arms off annoying Top Ten Magical Girls.
Core Connection can't power a Magical Girl. Even ones that are less impressive than a Fairy Prodigy or an Angel. It just doesn't work because of spoilery reasons.
Solid Core has a link to a fallen concept, and more besides. This is probably the source of all the current Divinity-class Magical Girls -- all of them have the same Affinities.
And lastly, Magical Girls are just one of those things that are odd about Humans. There's no link to a divine being (other than a bit of prodding from Gaia, but that's every human) that awakens their power. It just happens to be the way their magic manifests.
(I was so sure that there was something that enabled Magical Girls to start awakening.
)From where I'm standing Core Connection being invalid for MGs makes no Cosmos-Damned sense. If it was human magic that got in the way Samael wouldn't have it, and there's no divine being mucking about being the source of other MG's powers to explain it either. There might be some insight in activating the progenitor frame, but that thing scares me for some reason -- I expect it will wake up something that isn't friendly.
Post Rant: I think there was mention of Magical Girls not making sense in-universe. Not making sense out-of-universe would be consistent at least.

Man, comparing Proto Gil to Rei...

There's an internally consistent reason for this. The only spoiler-free bit I can share is that MG magic is another step up from basic human magic, and is thus... heftier, I suppose. Same reason that Magical Girls don't count as "mortals" for relevant effects, while angels and elves and Samael do.I can't offer any insight on who Ms. Reality Bubble might be, but here's something that's been bugging me.
