Yes.Let us not forget that feeling useless and without agency is part of Madokas problems.And it is not her fault, the original timeline Madoka was a healthy, if rather too nice and sweet person, AFAIK, before Homura started cutting her out of any meaningful role in the incidents.. and starting her karmic spiral into losing all feelings of self... not self worth... more selfimportance, to the level of her valuing a kittens life more than her own.
Your science is too scientific. Needs more explosions and arcane rituals.Re: Dewitching
IMO, we need 1.) more data points and observations the nature of witches* 2.) make a grief artifact that would collect said data and store it in a permanent, non-grief bending reliant format.
*because, IIRC, we haven't done much beyond insta-gibbing them, with the exception of that time with the Egg Witch when we tried to take over one of its chicken familiars, that had unfortunate results
1.) Suggestions on what to observe
2.) Data collection. Basically a grief device(s) that:
- A Witch in passive/docile, aggressive, and weakened states. If possible, we could also observe one that's migrating or forming its barrier too
- A Witch that's defeated and turned into a grief seed. I know, we kinda do this every time, but have we actually carefully observed and written down what happens?
- A Grief seed re-hatching into a Witch
- A Magical Girl witching out... Before you whip out the torches and pitchforks, I am not suggesting we let a meguca witch out in our presence. What I meant is that there's a possibility that a meguca somewhere out there has a recording, mundane or magical, of one in action... Actually, have we asked Homura if she tried that in a past loop?
- A Clear Seed. Or rather, we have observed that something is happening to a clear seed as time passes 9aside from being more quiescent). But we haven't even started logging the changes, nor having a set-up that observes a clear seed 24-7.
- Takes both mundane (visual recording, sound, temperature, air pressure, lumens, allthedata) and magical readings (energy output, direction, grief, soul shenanigans, dear Madokami we don't even have a unit of measurement for magic
)
- Does these all in high-speed, like in the millisecond rate
- Stores this in multiple magical and mundane formats. Aside from getting it on paper, maybe have it able to save the data on a USB drive or something?
- Optional: Able to keep all recorded data secure from prying eyes (QB, hostile meguca, Mami
90% of the stuff we get would probably go into a file cabinet and accumulate dust for a few decades, but I think it's better first step than directly/indirectly connecting our brain meats to a witch' influence, or throwing shit to the wall and hope nothing important explodes.
[Q] Pray to Madokami.
The prevailing theory is we need to remove all the grief and provide an infusion of magic, which is the opposite of adding grief.
No meguca, no Mami, big problem.Finally, someone who understands.
But without grief you cant get a magical girl.
