If a civilian a happens to be horribly injured in our presence and they are too badly injured for us to stabilize them and there aren't any dedicated healers nearby, we can always use our healing wand. The civilian thus healed would have to stay within our range (or else the healing would be reverted), but it would still save their life until we can bring in a healer to fix them properly.

I'm not sure where you got that, but I'm going to use it in place of every wiggity-woogity adverb I come across now.
Also, point on the souls, but I suppose the question would be "can healers repair a degraded soul to working condition?".
Kyubey says that the soul is a bundle of neurons.

Really? I don't remember that scene, do you remember the episode?

Speaking of esoteric powers, I wonder what logic bomb wishes would do?
"I wish I didn't make this wish!" - Time Reversal?
"I wish I wished for something else!" - Weak powerset, adjustable
"I wish wishes didn't exist!" - Power nullification, if there even are powers left to nullify...
"I wish I was never born!" - Binding of Isaac?
Etc...
It probably never comes up, since the wish has to be heartfelt, and a lot of these just end up retconning the contractee out of existence, but it's amusing to imagine the resulting powers.

I can't remember if it's the scene where he's talking to Sayaka in her bedroom, or one of the conversations with Madoka.

Episode 7, while he's talking to Sayaka about the lichbomb.

But making lot of meguca would be more efficient!
I'd rather try Santen Kisshun, myself.
Which brings up the question of exactly why would a race of alien bunnycats call bundle of neurons "soul".
Translating it to the closest cultural equivalent so he doesn't have to spend half an hour defining terms in order to make a point.

Hm, I suppose if they started it before it was known what a "brain" is....It seems odd that they wouldn't update, though.
Well, because it's not the whole brain- just one small part of it, and why bother with a separate word for "a portion of neurons that essentially serves the same purpose as the spiritual force called the soul (or the nearest equivalent)" when you can just say "soul?"

If that bundle of neurons performs the functions attributed to souls, why not?

Eh. Because it is not very long? Tradition, I guess.
Makes me wonder if the other portions of brains are entirely replaced in function by soul gems, given how Meguca can keep fighting with no blood.
Well, yeah.
A magical girl's body is a corpse puppeted by a rock. If they have enough magic, they can give precisely no shits about damage of any sort.

will we be seeing the outer space witch from the psp game?
"Besides, you humans don't even realise you have souls in the first place.
Your body's nothing more than a collection of neurons and a centralised cardiovascular system.
So when a human body can no longer maintain life, its soul vanishes along with it.
I gave your soul a physical form to prevent that from happening, a form you can pick up with your own hands and protect."
My read on this statement (Kyubey, ep7), is that he is saying the body is a puppet of the soul anyway, not that the soul is a collection of neurons. So no, I don't think the soul is a brain-part, that seems to be a misinterpretation.

You must be watching the English dub. The sub text is a lot less vague:
"After all, you humans don't physically sense your souls to begin with. Actually, all they are is a little cluster of neurons."
The English dub has a couple niggling little inconsistencies with the sub. It's always kind of bothered me.

I'm not sure if the one I watched was official. Most of the quotes others use seem to match up with the ones I remember, though. I watched on Crunchyroll, if that helps.
Crunchyroll is as official as it gets, but their translations do have mistakes sometimes. Guess we need a japanese-speaker?

Crunchyroll is official, but Netflix is also official and their subs differ on this point.

Good point. I mean, I know that Sayaka actually said "I'm such an idiot" in the train station, but the sub on crunchy translated it as "I've been stupid, so stupid"

Wait, no, I remembered wrong.
There's apparently still room for debate, but that debate seems to have already happened.Son of a--
It's NETFLIX. Screencap to follow. ...Fucking finally, that took way too long.
