Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

...so if we get a friend to help us out it becomes okay? Let's go get Best Buddy or Koko in on this then.

An actual objection to hunting solo: There's a thing between Mami and Sabrina where Mami doesn't like Sabrina taking unnecessary risks.

While we can go and murderize witches on our own time, Mami won't want us to do it alone, specially since we haven't gotten into a fight alongside Mami where she didn't have to save our ass every five minutes or so, and using our witch-killing spree in order to incentivize her to rejoin the club runs into the problem that we're informing Mami that we're doing solo hunting.

...Maybe we can rope Kirika into this?

We've already hunted solo recently though, and Mami's response was "well done"- and we and she both know that one thing we're fairly adept at is killing Witches. The last time we were in serious risk during a Witch fight was Aurora, I think.

Solo hunting should be fine unless we have an specific reason to want to bring someone else along.

And the ink witch. Both Homura and Mami helped us there.
 
The ink Witch was the only one that might have been an issue. We probably could've just surrounded ourselves in a shield and slowly torn it apart.

The thing is: Does Mami think so? Would she be OK with us going off on our own (unless we get best buddy to come along) and fighting not one or two, but a lot of witches?

Was this before the witch bomb?

...

You know, I don't know why we're asking this to ourselves and not to Mami. We can bring it up and ask her. I doubt she'll willingly go and rejoin the club right now, since it would cut down on her Sabrina time, but we can still ask her if she minds us wiping out the local witch population.

Would it be the right time to ask, right now? Too soon? Something?

This attitude is beginning to get more than a little annoying. Are we going to start asking her permission for every single slightly risky thing that we're going to do?

If we don't go crazy. Crazier, due to timestop shenanigans.

Right, I forgot. Can't use time stop for anything or the thread'll implode.

Edit: I don't really care how we do it, but I think taking care of the local Witch population so that Mami has time to have a life without feeling guilty about not saving people or whatever is a good idea.

Are we gonna go do dangerous things and worry Mami into insanity? For us, hunting witches is no biggie. For Mami, we're her friend who's holding her together who seems to be suicidal.

If Mami doesn't need to find out, then not telling her is fine with me, but if we're planning on telling her, we might as well do it beforehand, and not after the fact.
 
Mami finding out after the fact will be fine. We did it before without her being worried, and we can do it again. It'd only be an issue if we were doing something especially stupid. "Oh yeah there was a stray witch and I nuked it" falls under not-stupid.

If anything, making a fuss about it to Mami beforehand would cause her more worry than just going ahead with it.

I was thinking more "Oh yeah I went ahead and de-witched Mitakihara."
 
Are we putting up our own science experiment lists now?

I'd really want to expand our Material Science knowledge. I feel it would be really iportant if we want to make artificial seeds.

(Also, good god, this was 320 pages ago?!)

I am not a true man of science, so I apologize in advance form any misused terms.

Grief control refinement
  • What other properties of 'Grief' can we change? Proven so far: Acoustics (?), shape, mass, density, opacity, color, reflectivity, corrosiveness
  • What about changing its conductivity to electricity? Enchantments? Can change it to serve as a conduit/circuit for magic? Maybe give it a magnetic charge?
  • Control: How much 'Grief' (like the amount or volume) can we control within our 100 m range?
  • Range: Can we somehow extend that range through practice? Maybe artificially? Moving our Soul gem away from our body to shift our range has been mentioned
  • Microscale Control: (I mentioned this earlier in thread... maybe a 100 pages ago) How *fine* is our control of grief? Our grief music instruments says 'a lot', but what about 'active* control? Can we hold a solid piece of grief as small as a grain of sand or a strand of hair? Can we possibly control it on a nano-scale?
  • Can we control the 'degree' of these properties? Like can we control how corrosive a cloud is. Enough to melt plastic but keep metal intact?
Material experiments
  • Resistance of mundane and enchanted materials against the corrosive (among other) effects of Grief:
    • Gather a two sets of material samples (as many kinds we can get a hold of): one set enchanted and the other kept mundane. Maybe put them all in a large fish tank? Kept evenly spaced, these samples are then kept exposed to a 'loose' cloud of grief. We check back every hour, and see which material or element is the most resistant.
    • Possible samples: Various metals and alloys (we could ask some from Homura's inventory of military gear), various kinds of polymers, glass and other glass compounds (resin?), earth minerals, jewelry, etc.
  • What happens when a grief cloud is left suspended on liquids or heavy gasses? While it's not flammable (IIRC we used it to put out the fires on Sayaka's apartment), what happens when it's kept in or near high temperatures? Low ones? Does it have a melting or freezing point? What about grief marbles? The 'transmuted'/'derived' grief-materials?
  • What can we do to imitate the effects of a grief seed? Does grief have a property like gravity? Does a seed leech off the corruption of soul gems due to the massive density of grief it contains? It's like a grief seed is dropped by a witch at 99.9% capacity.

We may have absolute control over grief, but we don't know much about how it can interact with the mundane and magical world.

And if it's not apparent yet, what I'm aiming here is the tech tree to creating Artificial grief seeds.

Another interesting experiment idea, partially tied to Mura's 'core' idea:

Familiars seem like they can outlive and/or emancipate themselves from their Witch. I'd like to find one of these and see if we can trick it into thinking we're it's mother Witch, and do what we say.

While interesting, I'm not sure about the practical applications?

Anything we can do with control, we could do much more simply by just tearing the grief out. Nom nom familiar.

If we had a Familiar under our control, we might be able to examine it in detail, see how it works, maybe find out how to make our own?

"Mami, it followed me home, can we keep it?"

"...Sabrina, it's eating our kitchen table."

"...I'm still training it." "Wait, 'our?' "
