Everything I Know About Witches

Everything I know about witches

What are witches?

Witches are the manifestation of despair. They are the main thing puella magis fight. They hide in labyrinths and can be dangerous if left unchecked. They often have familiars to help them spread curses and to protect themselves.

Why we fight witches

We fight witches because they are dangerous. If left unattended, they can hurt people. The severity depends, but they typically hurt a persons mental health or control them with a witch's Kiss to bring them closer to their labyrinth. The other reason we fight them is to obtain grief seeds. A puella magi's soul gem gets corrupted over time or by using magic, so we need to use grief seeds to cleanse them to stay healthy, happy, and magical.

How are witches created?

Witches can be created by negative energy, a corrupted grief seed, a corrupted soul gem, or familiars. Negative energy is the most common source of a witch. I do not know much about this, but you can imagine it as a corruption happening outside a grief seed or vessel. Corrupted grief seeds can hatch witches. It's something you don't think about, but it does happen. If a grief seed absorbs too much despair, it can become corrupted just like a soul gem. That's why it's important to give all full grief seeds to an incubator. The last way, a corrupted soul gem hatching a witch, is the way most people are aware of. If a puella magi does not clean their soul gem, and it corrupts from negative emotions or use of magic, it can hatch into a witch. It is very important to use grief seeds or doppels for that reason. Familiars can become witches if they stray from the labyrinth and eat humans on their own. They need to get a certain amount of negative energy to be able to become a witch, and then they will become like any other witch, with their own labyrinth and everything. That is why some magis fight familiars despite their lack of grief seeds.

A witch's Kiss/sigils

Most commonly known as a witch's Kiss, and by some magis as sigils, these are the symbols witches have that lets us track them down from far away. They will sometimes appear on the witch's victims to lure them to their labyrinth or corrupt their mind. You can also find the sigil at the entrance of the labyrinth and write it down to find the witch again. Astral magis use that as a way to find witches in the astral realm.

Sigil/witch's Kiss experiment.

I wondered what effect drawing or carving a witch's sigil into something would have, so I have tested it out. Here is what I have found. Disclaimer: Don't do this. Keep in mind, I drew it myself instead of being kissed by a witch, and I am a puella magi, so it might not affect me the same way it would a civilian or even a magi from another concept. I drew the sigil of a witch I have not fought on my hand with a washable marker. Here is what I noticed happening in mostly chronological order:

I suddenly felt safe around witches instead of feeling awful.

I felt like I was somehow doing something right, but at the same time, I felt like I wasn't completely in control of myself.

I felt similar to how I did when I became a magical girl, but if the sigil was the soul gem. There was that empty feeling, but more like I was a reanimated corpse, which is fair, I guess.

I started having negative thoughts I never had before.

I kept having thoughts that weren't my own that were telling me things about how the witch is "safe" and "home".

I got dazed and kept feeling like I was going to go unconscious.

I had thoughts/urges to rip my soul gem off and throw it away.

I also had thoughts of harming the people around me.

When thinking about defeating the witch, I found I had none of that natural urge to do so that being a puella magi gives you. I thought about it, and I don't think I would be willing to fight the witch at all if I had the sigil on. They felt like my allies at that point.

Day 41 <3

🎀✨Day 41: I've been wearing my soul gem more often instead of just having it near me, and sensing witches feels so weird. Powerful witches can feel similar to getting a cut right on your fingertips instead of somewhere with less nerves if you understand what I mean. ⏱💣I made a priorities list so I would stop forgetting to do magical work, drawings for IRL mahoutober, and more. I also figured out that if I tell myself I'll only draw a line for one drawing, I end up getting sucked in and doing lots of work on it. It's a good strategy! 💐☕I'm going to make witch logs which explain the events that happened during a witch hunt and details of the witch. The reason I am deciding to do this is that fighting witches just got interesting, and I have some tea to spill. I'll have to make witch logs of the witches I fought before this one, but the interesting one will be witch log 4. I know I haven't been keeping up with my duties. I could sense all of negative energy. But I've been trying to find the sigils and fight them. 🎧🌊I feel like as a magical hero, you protect a lot of people, but who is there to protect you? I understand Mami Tomoe a lot better now. This fourth witch messed with my head more that I ever expected a witch to... 🍎📿I played Royale High a while ago, and I was able to make my character look just like me! ^_^

sorry im putting this in the ask box but i saw your last post, i dont think your evil dont say that about urself, stay safe :)

I am glad. I got very worried for some reason that something happened while I was away. I will always come back as a cute magical girl, no matter what happens.

How to become a magical hero

What is a magical hero?

Magical heros are kind of like superheros, but magical, and usually defeat enemies with the power of friendship! Or something along those lines. There are so many kinds of magical heros. The only real things that are required to be one is to help people and use magic.

Why you would become a magical hero

There are many reasons someone may want to become a magical hero. From wanting to save the world, to needing a job, to just wanting to be cute and magical, all reasons are equally good! For some people, they may not have ever thought about it before a familiar asked them. In that case, you should take your time to make sure it's something you really want to and can do.

Responsibilities of a magical hero

This can depend entirely on what you script. Being a magical hero can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. Even without choosing a concept like puella magi or mahou shojou site without changes, you'll still have to make time for it outside of school/work, friends, children or siblings, and your free time. There may be times where you have to leave due to an enemy, or where you get injured, or where something happens that you can't tell anyone about without revealing your magical status. It's very important to be sure magical duties will not hurt you. You can't help anyone if you yourself are hurt.

Scripting

Scripting is basically planning. It's a lot like scripting for shifting, but instead of shifting to other realities, it is just for changing this reality, like manifestation. Scripting is not required at all if you don't want to, it just helps get your thoughts together of how you want your journey to go. Common things you could script are your concept, your familiar, your outfit, your magic, and enemies. You could script whatever you want. For example, if you have a puella magi concept, you could script out witches. It isn't "cheating" to do so. Do what you want, and don't do something just because everyone else is doing it or because you think there's only one way to do things.

Methods

Currently, I only know of two methods, manifestation, and being chosen by a familiar. Manifestation is the most common method I see. It involves scripting, listening to subliminals, and basically seeking out a familiar or magical item to transform you into a magical hero. Being chosen is one I haven't seen as much. It involves a familiar choosing you to be a magical hero and giving you the supplies to do so. It can also involve finding a magical item that transforms you into a magical hero.

The four shift phases

There are four shift phases in becoming a magical girl. These phases are similar to the shift phases therians and otherkins go through, but they are more of a progress for us than shifts that come and go. The phases are as follows: 1. Fantasy shift, which means you are scripting and planning out what's going to happen on your magical journey. 2. Mental shift, which is when you mentally feel like a magical girl. You may feel like you are magic already, or you may feel an urge to help people. 3. Phantom shift, which means you will feel phantom feelings of your magical self. If you have wings, you will feel your wings in this phase. 4. Physical shift or astral shift depending on the magi. This is when you are a full magical hero and can fight enemies, help people, and use magic!
