*Upon exiting one long, long, long time stop*

Mami: "Um... Sabrina? Why is there a 100m tall Lego Castle in the park?"

Sabrina: "I was bored. Really bored. Don't worry. I'm sure QB will stop buy and eat it sometime soon."

*Awkward pause*

Sabrina: "Well... Hopefully before it turns into a Lego Castle Witch..."

I think a really bored Sabrina would be more like:
*
*boom*
Mami: Sabrina! Are you alright!?
*runs to find a slightly scorched Sabrina dusting herself off*
Sabrina: hm? Oh, I'm fine. Turns out Grief can be made into rocket fuel!
Mami: :facepalm:

Well it kind of is. At the 8.58cm^3 I calculated earlier and factoring in that the limit for sphere packing is ~74% efficiency means a thousand marbles takes up 11,595cm^3.

To make that easier to visualize that's 11.6 liters or 3 gallons.

For comparison the capacities of a a couple (only ones I could find with volumes listed) of sling bags from Amazon:

Everest Sling Bag - 730 cubic inches = 11,963cm^3 = 96.9% full
Port & Company Honeycomb Sling Pack - 1,326 cubic inches = 21,729cm^3 = 53.4% full
Everest Luggage Sporty Hydration Rugged Sling Bag - 850 cubic inches = 13,929cm^3 = 83.2% full

And from what I can tell most of them are around that same size. So even in the best case the sling bag is going to be over half full and from what I can tell this are adult bags and Mami probably has a smaller child version.

We obviously have one of these.

"This is the best and most dangerous ball pit EVER."
"I don't know, Sabrina, Nagisa and Yuma don't seem to be having fun."
"Add more balls."

Hmm?

*looks at previous calculations*

Ah. You're using an inch diameter for marbles; I didn't notice that. My bad. My mental image is about 1.5cm, which, eyeballing (on bus, calculator is in bag, blah) it would pack to about 3000-ish cm3​.

And yes, I am well aware what that does to your previous estimates.
 
Just to be clear, changing the diameter from 2.5cm to 1.5cm reduces the volume (and all aggregate volumes) by a factor of 4.63. Actually, the original being an inch makes a significant difference, the factor is 4.85.

Imagine what Sabrina's griefbending might feel like for a sentient Witch. We're literally tearing great big strips of its soul off at a time, like magically-enhanced flaying. :D

We might already be doing that if the soul in the Seeds has any self-awareness left, actually. Then we put it back... and the toucan witch decides to nom on it as well. Being Hildy is suffering.

Well it would certainly be a new painful experience for Rochelle, but why would Sabrina do that.

Rochelle's just to much like a kicked puppy for someone like Sabrina to want to do that to her.

Think Priscilla with a bad lisp, worst luck, no life hunt, and the trauma of several deaths and you pretty much get Rochelle.

Mustn't forget the repeated failure at her goals and being tugged around by (in-universe) players beyond her understanding or control. :D

That's an understatement. To the uninformed, just about anytime she tries to do anything involving her witch powers, it ends up biting her in the ass even when it makes no sense to (lol grief addiction). Seriously, half the reason why there is so much opbjection to experimenting with our powers is due to lingering bad experiences from witch quest.
 
Theoretical encounter with Rochelle... they would get along well, and maybe their abilities togetehr could go far.
Only bump would be the first encounter, on encountering a disguised witch running around outside a barrier Sabrina may jump to coclusions, and she can disintegrate Rochelle at range, so combat would not end well for the "Giant Spidah".
On the other hand Sabrina is trying to do SCIENCE on witches, so encountering a strange one she may watch first, and then things probably end well.

If we saw a giant spider witch running around outside it's barrier, we would leap to the conclusion of Rochelle and attempt diplomacy, possibly even past the point it showed itself hostile.
