I can move to the further discrimination - is Causality a unary measure unto itself, or is it always bound to the events of history it will result in specifically? This is very important!
The way Kyubey seems to make it sound, what with his reference to those who would become world leaders and or saviors, it sounds like the greater butterfly effect your actions would have caused in life generates in equal measure the causality/ karma attached to you. For an example: Cleopatra VII's reign resulted in tumult for her people while having a dispute with her brother Ptolemy XIII, followed by her relationships with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, her war with Octavian, ending with her death and the soon-to-be Roman Empire annexing the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt as one of its Provinces. Good-or-ill, one cannot deny that her actions had lasting consequences, cause, and effect... causality... karma. We even have a side story where we actually see what happens when a "savior" level girl becomes a Magical Girl: Puella Magi Tart Magica, the one about Joan of Arc... and Joan has been shown to be ludicrously powerful in her own right, right down to even having her own Magical Seal when firing off her most powerful spell:
So I imagine, succinctly, it basically can be summed up thus:
"The greater and or longer your actions touch on other peoples lives, the greater your potential becomes."
