It is definitely better.

One little thing I noticed on a glance though, her weapon and Spell have the same name. You might want to change that.

Actually I gave them the same name both because of cheek and the fact they're technically the same thing.

Charging her spell is literally just her feeding power to her weapon until it hits critical mass and she releases it as a super laser.
 
I like World's End's charging ability! It seems useful, while also having a drawback so that she doesn't just keep her weapon charged at 100% all the time.

Nighthawk's Mantle
-I shall be Queen of Air and Darkness...
Twilight may teleport between shadows and/or unobserved areas at will. Every successfully damaging attack seals one of the target's abilities for the duration of the battle. When fighting at night, multiply all stats by 3, remove restrictions on teleport, and seal abilities even on non-damaging attacks.

Bit of background for this one:

Nighthawks are were a form of magical megafauna native to one of the older elven territories. Picture a nocturnal eagle the size of a horse that's basically undetectable until it's talons are digging into your spine, and it shuts down your ability to use magic if it hits you or you hit it. They were scary beasties.

The Nighthawks were an organization who took their name from the aforementioned scary beasties. Officially, they were a group of scouts, hunts, explorers, and wilderness survival experts. Unofficially they were the people you contacted if you wanted something stolen, sabotaged, assassinated, or some combination thereof, provided you had the connections to contact them and the funding to purchase their services. Rangers crossed with Ninjas, basically.
If you're wondering what the connection to the giant doom birds is, one of the rites of passage involved being dropped butt naked in the middle of the woods and being told to come back when you've hunted down a Nighthawk and made a cloak of its feathers, or don't come back. If they did come back with their rad new cloak, they were fully inducted, given an official Nighthawk Name to replace their now-secret given name, and got their fancy feather clothes enchanted by their in-house specialists.

Note on Weapons
  • Informational
    • Note on Weapons:

    Legit, nothing is stopping you from having different weapons have different stats or effect the given character's stats differently from one to the next.

    (For example having a slow but high Base Damage ax, or a fast but low Base Damage dagger on the same sheet.)

    Technically supposed to be how it should work anyway but laziness won out here on the few sheet in mainline that have more than one weapon.
     
  • Informational
    • Tanks are a notable version of this. Statlines for the big anti-demon tank show 7500 (1125) for base damage, the lesser weapons have less punch and different effects.
     
    At the urging of Crystalwatcher, have this:

    Cast Off
    Level 29
    -When Health is depleted from enemy attacks, lose one piece of clothing. When clothing is lost this way, Base Resilience is halved, Health, Base Damage and Magic Modifier are doubled while Attacks per Turn increases by 1. All Health is restored to full, and all negative effects are nullified. Fails if no clothing is left. (Controls Health and Base Resilience)

    Improved Outfit (Level 5)
    -Adds an additional piece of clothing per level. Current clothing: Gloves(Default), Boots, Vest, Skirt, Pants, Ribbon.

    Master Skill
    -Spend three Actions to nullify an opponent's action.

    Adroit Dodge
    -Sacrifice three actions to evade an enemy attack.

    -Bare Fist can perform feats of agility that stretch the laws of physics to their limit.

    -When meeting an opposing force, increase Damage by 50%. Negate if opposing force is backed by: Unreal Strength, Unstoppable, Juggernaut, or a 3-1 damage advantage.

    Steal Equipment
    -Whenever an enemy's clothing or weapon is completely destroyed or claimed by Bare Fist, Bare Fist can restore one(1) piece of her clothing, returning her stats back to that level. Health in excess of max health is lost harmlessly.

    Rage Born of Humiliation and Loss
    -Her awakening was certainly memorable, if there was anyone alive who remembered it. When all clothing has been lost, gain a Slayer Ability that targets the Affinities of the enemy that destroyed her last piece of clothing. While active, regaining clothing from Steal Equipment does not return her base stats back to the previous level, allowing further stacking of Cast Off's bonus. Bare Fist cannot retreat or stop seeking to kill the enemy while this ability is active. This ability will only end when Bare Fist believes every enemy in the area has been eliminated.


    Note: Gains +1 APT every 20th level of her weapon.

    My first attempt at a GWMGQ magical girl:

    (Unaligned Front) Magical Girl Shining Spark

    Real Name: Watanabe Emi
    ​

    Stats

    Health: 150
    Base Damage: 75
    Base Resilience: 40
    Magic Modifier: 60
    Affinity: Technology | Light| Story

    Weapon

    Light battery
    Level 1
    Targeting: Ranged | Single Target
    Attacks Per Turn: 1
    Affinity: Technology | Light
    Ability: Mode shift | Auto assault | Levitate | Invoke: True beam | Interceptor fire (Shield battery) | Ordinance (Focus battery) | Spell boost (Power battery)

    Spells

    True beam
    Thin and fast but powerful nonetheless, this laser beam comes in a variety of flavours.
    Level 1
    Targeting: Ranged | Single Target | Multi target
    Base Damage: 100
    Magic Modifier: 100
    Affinity: Light
    Ability: Ray | Protean

    Abilities

    Light containment field
    Level 1
    -Magical light becomes trapped and bounces around inside of the 'Light battery' prism. For every turn in which Shining spark does not use her weapon to fire 'True beam', she stores it within her 'Light battery' prism as an individual spell charge. At the time of her choosing she can fire a 'true beam' spell from her weapon, and then multiply its damage by five for each turn in which a spell was stored until now.

    Automatons light
    Level 1
    -Shining spark may fire powerful dark blue lasers from between her two hands, which rapidly repair broken objects. She may permanently restore damaged or destroyed Items to perfect condition, such as weapons, machines or even small fortifications. All restored entities gain the 'auto assault' and 'automatic combat' abilities for the remaining duration of battle, after which they return back to normal.

    Light focusing prism
    Level 1
    -Spells appear between Shining Spark's hands when they're cupped together and thrust towards her target. If she fires a 'True beam' spell into her 'Light battery' prism, she provides it with a 'Light containment field' style spell charge, which is then usable as part of that system of boosts. When in ordinance formation the prism may also use this ability, firing 'True beam' spells into its new counterpart in addition to all of its extra stored spell charges. Unlike when using the 'light containment field', spells which enter a prism using this ability cannot be stored and thus will be fired as enhanced 'true beam' spells, immediately.

    Flash burst
    Level 1
    -The explosion of a radiant, rotating lens flare light announces her counter-attack. If the 'Light battery' prism is within touching distance of Shining Spark, she initiates an automatic 'True beam' intercept conflict against her closest attacker. Should she lose this conflict she will receive absolutely no damage, reverting to normal afterwards. If true beam spells are stored within her 'light battery' prism as part of her 'Light containment field' ability, the following flash burst is accordingly enhanced.

    Magitech forcefield
    Level 1
    - Her magical automaton core emits a spherical, navy blue forcefield around her that turns away the outside worlds effects, controls Resilience. All physical attack damage taken is reduced by 40%, she is now immune to the elements.

    Automaton body
    Level 1
    -her flesh body has been cast aside and replaced with a metal one, which is both more durable and less fallible, controls Health. Shining spark is now immune to any discomfort caused by physical or ailments injuries.

    -Shining spark may substitute the Protean ability from her 'True beam' spell with an ability from the following list. Doing so mid-attack has her alter the beams properties as it fires, without pause.

    Anti-air.
    Armour pierce.
    Burn.
    Scale to target.
    Damage charge.

    Mana charge
    Level 1
    -Allows the user to 'charge' a spell; Instead of firing off that turn, they instead hold back and let the MM fill up instead of just shoving magic into it. Each turn adds the next roll to the previous until the MM maxes out.

    Auto revive
    Level 1
    -Technological weapons are always easy to repair, but Shining Spark can pull it off in seconds using her magic. Automatically revives a weapon on death.

    Dispel
    Level 1
    -A 10 foot zone of magi-tech light can emerge at will, driving away all foreign magic. Activates an AOE pulse that removes magical effects in your immediate area. Effectively Spell-Stop with AOE.

    Upgraded awareness
    level 1
    -Cybernetic eye and brain implants have been foisted onto Shining Spark, improving both her reaction times and accuracy. Provides all ranged weapon attacks with undodgeable. Initiates an automatic intercept conflict against incoming melee attacks, as long as a weapon is available and ready to use.

    Magitech forcefield
    Level 1
    -Controls Resilience. All physical attack damage taken is reduced by 40%.

    Automaton body
    Level 1
    -Controls Health. Shining spark is now immune to any discomfort caused by physical or ailments injuries.

    Interesting. I do see a few issues though.

    1: On her weapon, it has Mode Shift. You should specify what modes it has access to, as well as what Mode-specific abilities go on which mode.

    2: Her spell has Protean, but no list of Abilities that she can replace with Protean. Generally this is shown by putting a list of Abilities she can use for her Protean in her Abilities tab.

    3: She has some interesting personal abilities, but all of them have levels. Levels on personal abilities represent the ability to upgrade those abilities. For example, upgrading her Magitech Forcefield or her Automaton Body would increase her Resilience or Health. What precisely is upgrading Mana Charge or Auto Revive supposed to do? If you can't think of a way to upgrade them in a suitable manner, you may want to simply take the levels off them.

    Alright.

    You've definitely made progress, but you've also made a few mistakes in formatting. We'll start with the weapon.

    The Woodsman
    Level 5
    Attacks Per Turn: 2
    Affinities: Fear
    Ability: Mode Change | Murder (handsaw) | Catastrophic Damage (chainsaw)

    This is a copy of Red Hood's weapon data. As you can see, it is only placed once, with the mode specific abilities on the same line. This may seem a little unwieldy, but it helps save space when compared to what you currently have. All you need to do is place the Lights Battery's mode specific abilities with the name of whatever mode they go on in a single line, and you'll be able to upgrade all three modes at once. Given how you've set it up though, she likely won't get any new Abilities or ability upgrades for her weapons other than pure numbers for a while.

    Now, regarding the spell.

    Similarly to her weapon, you don't need to spell out each individual variation. Here's how I worked the Protean ability for an MG I created.

    Cursed Bolts
    -Fairy Huntress may substitute Protean on her Enchanted Crossbow with an Ability from the following list. She may freely change what Ability she is using, but cannot change the effect on any previously fired bolts.
    Curse
    Slumber
    Poison
    Chill
    Stun
    Double Tap

    The bolded part is the important part here. Fairy Huntress has Protean on her weapon, allowing her to switch it out with one ability from a list. By placing the Abilities all under a single Ability in her file, I can upgrade her weapon while maintaining her ability to use the Protean Abilities. If you simply gather up the Abilities you wish to give Shining Spark access to at the start and place them in a list like I have for Fairy Huntress, you can upgrade the main spell and make it more powerful, while simultaneously making sure the Abilities can still be used. Just make sure that you specify in the ability that Shining Spark can replace Protean on her spell with an ability from the list, for the sake of being clear.

    I've altered those things now.

    Is it any better?
     
    Replaced four of Shining Sparkles personal abilities.

    The actual meat of her sheet is now done, all that's left to complete is her image.
