Everything I know about soul gems

What soul gems are, and what they are for

Soul gems are containers for the souls of puella magis. They are useful while fighting to keep you safe. With a soul gem, you are able to be okay after injuries that would usually make it impossible to continue battle due to pain or damage to your body.

How to use them to find witches or use magic

Soul gems are also useful to detect witches. When you are near a witch, your soul gem will glow more. You can use this like a game of hot and cold to track down the witches labyrinth. To use magic or transform, it is easy, you just need to know what you want to do and try to do it. Using your intuition and intention together will allow you to easily do what you want to do.

Corruption and purification

Soul gems can become corrupted after using too much magic or holding too much grief. You will know when your soul gem is becoming corrupted when it gets cloudy and no longer glows. In the case of a dark soul gem, you will still be able to tell. If you are in a dark area, and your soul gem isn't providing much light anymore, or if you see specs of color like in a labyrinth, that's a sign of corruption. In order to combat this, you will need to use grief seeds to purify it. Grief seeds can take the grief out and store it, and when they're full, you can give them to Kyubey so they don't hatch. Corrupted soul gems can be harmful because you will be weaker with magic, and there's a chance that a witch will hatch out of your soul gem like how they hatch out of grief seeds that have stored too much, except it would be you.

What your soul gem will be like

Your soul gem when not in gem form will likely be jewelry or an object you carry with you often. Your soul gem will either be your favorite color or the color you are most connected to, it won't be something you don't like. It's the same with the shape. The shape will be what you like and what represents you best. It's your soul, it knows you the best, so it'll be perfectly fitting and exactly what you would choose if you had all the time to think about it. Using magic with it should feel just as natural as most things.

Safety and comfort

Your soul gem is you, so be very careful with it. Keep it near you so you will keep a strong connection between yourself and your vessel. Although 100 meters is the limit, but the further you go from it, the worse you'll feel. I've heard that you can lose your magic, be unable to transform, be unable to detect witch sigils/labyrinths, have a feeling of dread, have headaches, be nauseous or vomit, or be fatigued or pass out/lose control of your vessel completely Since your soul gem is you, if a witch or other magi strikes it, it could damage you far worse than other attacks. Make sure to keep it from harm, and while fighting, protect the spot with your soul gem with the highest priority.

Day 32 <3

🎀✨Day 32: I made my own subliminal. I think this will help me be more specific with my manifesting. I put in music I like, videos I like, and affirmations specific to me! ⏱💣I realize now that I have the necessary tools to cosplay cat girl Homura, which I have a new appreciation for after reading the meow quest. 💐☕I found out that when trying to astral project or reality shift, there's a period where you are tested to see how persistent you are, and if you are, you are able to successfully astral project or reality shift. That lines up with how I astral projected before, so I will not give up until I contract! 🎧🌊I figured out some things I can do in the journal, but most of them are for after I contract. There are some I can do now however, so I'll show you when I do some! 🍎📿I'm working on a magiazine with some others from Mahou Planet! It's a magazine with the topic of magical girls! Some members from Mahou Planet will be featured as guest writers, artists, and some will be interviewed to learn all about their magical experience. We're planning on making it for summer 2024.

Your blog is truly fascinating and motivated me so much– I'm trying to shift to my DR, but the magi world is also very attractive to me. Do you think it would be possible to wish something related to love/or a specific person? Or would it be counterproductive on the long run?

I wish you luck with your journey!

Of course it's possible to wish something for someone else as long as you have enough potential for whatever you're thinking. It isn't good to make wishes for others because you don't know what they really want, it's even hard to figure out what you really want. And if that person dissappears, leaves, or you aren’t friends anymore, it could feel like you wasted your wish, which you should never do. At the very least, you must ask the person if that wish is what they want most.

Day 33 <3

🎀✨Day 33: I tried to astral project to make my contract, and I zoned out so much I was unaware, but then I zoned back in, and I was able to continue like normal! I almost astral projected too, but my meditation turned off on accident, so that threw me off a little. I just noticed I have 100 followers now, so thank you all very much for following me! ^_^ ⏱💣I feel a very strange, very strong connection to Sayaka Miki for some reason. I don't understand why. I don't feel like I am Sayaka or anything, I feel like I'm supposed to do something for or with her. It's hard to explain. Maybe the summer heat is getting to me. Update: I think it was just the heat. I don't feel it anymore. 💐☕I'm going to reality shift as a bit of a break from astral projecting because I haven't even tried shifting in who knows how long, so I'm going to mess around and have fun in other realities for a while. 🎧🌊I've been drawing a bit for the magiazine. It's only sketches for now, but it's a lot more drawing than I've done in a while. Sometimes it feels like a drawing just isn't working, but since it's a sketch, the important part is to properly convey what I meant to, so I guess I'll need to push through for now. 🍎📿I'm still going to be astral projecting every day or every other day. The first time I tried, I fell asleep. The second time, I was interrupted. And the third time, I got to the end of the meditation, but I stopped before I could project. Since I've been making progress every time, it would be bad to stop now. It should only take 1 or 2 tries to get to the astral realm, and I think I know exactly what to do when I do get there.

Day 34 <3

🎀✨Day 34: I have an idea for how IRL magis can find each other! If you have a transformation device that transforms into jewelry, you could either bring it, or if you want it to be more hidden, you could bring something that looks like it. For example, I am going to wear a grey ring on my left 3rd finger to show I am a puella magi. It won't be my actual soul gem even after I contract because it is only meant to signal to other magis. I will probably keep my soul gem more hidden, like in my pocket. ⏱💣I had a lucid dream, and I called out to Kyubey both out loud and telepathically, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I'll have to try again! 💐☕I really want to make a contract with Kyubey, but I feel like he's ignoring me or something. I wonder what I should do. 🎧🌊I tried to astral project so I could contract, but instead, I heard what sounded like an announcer talking about good things and how you should always get them when you can. He put a weird amount of emphasis on "good things," so maybe he was trying to tell me things. 🍎📿I realize I have never made a script for my concept and myself as a magical girl. And I have a perfectly good magical girl journal lying around, hardly touched. c:

Guess what I did. ^u^ I contracted! I'm a real puella magi now.

I use a necklace, but it isn't really my soul gem because my soul gem is in the astral. It's just a visualization for it/way of managing it in the physical realm. I wrote in my journal about the specifics. I'll transcribe it.

Contract day! Day 0. 7/17/2024. I made a contract with Kyubey. He had a black hat that looked like an upside down bowl. This is what happened: I got the necklace for my soul gem and put it in the middle of the circle. I sat on one side and told Kyubey to sit on the other. I put a white ring on my left to represent the hope of magical girls. I put a black ring on my right to represent the despair of magical girls. Lastly, I put a purple ring in front of me to represent myself. When all that was done, I cast a circle and called upon Kyubey. He answered and asked "What is your wish?" I didn't expect him to get there so quickly. I forgot my wish and almost left the circle to grab this journal to remember. Instead, I made myself focus until I remembered. I repeated my wish until the phrasing felt right. I think he could tell I wasn't very comfortable the first few times. When he transferred my soul, it felt like something was touching my insides, but it didn't hurt, it was just uncomfortable. When it was complete, I felt extremely dizzy, and my body felt hollow and lightweight. The Kyubey looked like this:

@meguca-meduka was the one that helped me figure out how to contract without astral projecting, so I am very thankful to you, Rem! ^U^

Day 35 <3

🎀✨Day 35: My first journal entry as a real magical girl! I made my contract and went on a patrol to find a witch, and I think I found one. I noticed there was almost no one outside at all, so I don't think I'll have much competition. ⏱💣Funny story, I may or may not have gotten sick right after contracting (I thought I was cursed), so I might wait a bit to fight the witch. 💐☕Now that I'm a real puella magi, I'll be able to offer advice from my own experience as well! I'll be able to make them much more in depth. ^_^ 🎧🌊I wonder what my magi power is. I've been wondering if it has to do with electricity because the lights in my house keep breaking, and I haven't been able to keep a stable connection on the phone for calls all day. I'll try out magic in the astral, or maybe I'll ask Kyubey if I can find him. 🍎📿I was trying to "build a tolerance" to be far from my soul gem (that's not how it works, don't do that), and I realized I think the physical equivalent and astral one are not tied together, but it seems more like it's easier to keep and use your astral one with you if you take the physical one with you. You can kind of bilocate and keep your astral soul gem with you that way. Being an astral magi is much safer, I suppose.

I fought my first witch! ^_^

Me, Rem, Giovanna, and Minze all came together in the astral to fight. I was going to fully astral project, but it ended up being easier to bilocate, so I did that instead. I'm going to spill all the tea here. To start, I found a witch in my neighborhood near a black house with lots of plants and bushes behind a fence. It also had a kind of red mailbox that was crooked. It looked almost magical, but it was cursed. This is what the sigil looked like:

We think it might have looked like that because there were multiple holes we fell down, because there were trinkets like bells on the floor for the circle parts, the fact we kept going in circles, or something resembling an esophagus, which sounds random, but it isn't. We went into the labyrinth, and there were metal bars. the floor was stone I think, and it was very dark. I got cut on one of the bars, and it looked like the cut was rotten. I went to find the others, and Rem fell in a hole, so I think it was Minze that had to get them out. We all met up at the metal bars, and there were what looked kind of like bug familiars. They were there before, but then it was like a spider egg hatched, and they all came out. We found another hole and went in. I fell on some trinkets or bells. There were piles of stuff everywhere. I looked around and found an area that looked like it was going to spiral around the hole if I went in it, and someone else found another hole, but I forgot who. We all jumped in again. I landed on my feet, and that hurt a little. We smelled blood, and we found the witch. They looked like a bunch of organs and gross stuff. I stabbed them with my sword, and it felt like skin, but squishier and wetter. I think they had wings or something because when they attacked, it felt like that. Some blood was on the floor and getting everyone's shoes wet. I got my sword and self very dirty while attacking them. Giovanna used its doppel to fight, Minze used their bow, Rem used a gun for a minute (I think she used a sword other than that?), and I stabbed them. Rem connected with me to do a final attack, and they had two grief seeds, so we think they might have been two witches that fused.

We agreed the backgrounds of this game look like the witch. I might draw them at some point, but not today. It felt like I was murdering someone the whole time.

Congratulations on the successful witch hunting, Homura. May your future ones be just as successful

-Incubator

Thank you, Incubator! I didn't know you guys read my blog as well. I'm going to make sure to hunt lots of witches!

Everything I know about the astral realm

What the astral realm is

The astral realm is kind of like the counterpart to the physical realm. Unlike the physical realm, it is where your soul is not attached to anything, so you can wander anywhere. Some magis fight in the astral realm instead of the physical one.

How to get there

You can go to the astral realm by astral projecting. There are a few different methods to astral project, but the gist of them is: 1. Lay down and relax. 2. Let your body fall asleep, but keep your mind awake. 3. Move your astral body out of your physical one. There are meditations that can guide you and tell you what to do as you listen. I recommend you check them out if you haven't astral projected before.

Why you would go to the astral realm

For magis, they might go to the astral realm in order to talk to an incubator, or they might visit to fight a witch. Some magis fight only in the astral realm. These are called "astral magis". As a magi, it is easier to astral project because your soul is already outside of your body. It may be easier for astral magis than physical magis, but I am unsure.

What the astral realm is like

The astral is different for different people. Some say you can sense things you couldn't in the physical realm, some say it feels just like the physical to the point they had to see their body to confirm, and I personally see it as a dark place with no sound, with only touch and intuition to guide me. It feels much more free than the physical realm.

Bilocation

Bilocation is a compromise of the physical and astral realms. When you bilocate, you are in both simultaneously. You can bilocate by starting to astral project, but instead of continuing, you keep some focus on the physical realm as well. It's best not to lay down if you are trying to bilocate in case you fall asleep. I bilocate when I want to astral project with someone else because I am able to communicate in this realm where I can see and hear clearly.

Day 36 <3

🎀✨Day 36: There is a new magical hero symbol! Like the shifting symbol, it is a way to subtly know if someone's a magical hero! There's also an emoji combination too: 🎀🌟. They were both decided on by Magi Metro. The drawing is by Rem (@meguca-meduka).

⏱💣I think I found a familiar, so I'll try and fight them if I can astral project. I'll also try and train in the astral if I can. 💐☕I've been having a strange feeling that there's a rival magical hero in my area. I hope it's just a feeling. I don't think I'd be able to win any fights yet. 🎧🌊I haven't done a cool transformation sequence yet, but I should. I only poofed into my magical outfit, but I think it would be nice to be stylish with it. 🍎📿I keep getting these weird feelings (memories? visuals?) I haven't gotten since last year, and the voices have been a lot more clear this year, but they've also been less frequent. I feel like something's trying to tell me something, and I'm not understanding it.

HELLLOOOOO DO YOU HAVE ANY LINKS FOR DISC SERVERS !! I WANT TO INTERACT WITH EVERY1 MORE ^__^_^_^

Here are a few I know. Most, you have to verify.

Can you please teach me how to become a magical girl, it's been my dream my entire life. Even as a kid, thinking about it is how I felt like I belonged.

Now that I think about it, I haven't made a guide for that, but that would be very useful! I will make a guide and edit this later to link to it. For now, know there are many methods to become one. There's manifestation, being chosen, astral projection, reality shifting, etc. There are a few books about it on Wattpad.

Day 37 <3

🎀✨Day 37: Lots of things having to do with soul gems makes me feel physically empty, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. When I contracted and wasn't used to my soul being outside my body, I felt dizzy and empty, and then when I purified my soul gem, it made me feel empty in a good way, like I got rid of clutter in myself. ⏱💣I should really fight the witches and familiars I find. I kept putting it off because I was worried I couldn't astral project, but you don't need to. I should just bilocate since that's a lot easier for me to not get lost. 💐☕There are worse villains than witches, and they keep trying to sabotage everyone. I wish I could fight them, but I'm supposed to trust others to fight them in a better way. 🎧🌊I think of being a magical hero like being an exorcist. The witches are basically souls that need to be put to rest, so fighting them helps them as well. Sometimes I see people saying they feel like fighting witches is like fighting anyone else and you shouldn't do it, but there's no cure for them, so it's better this way. 🍎📿You guys would never think I'm evil, right? Can I still be a cute magical girl, no matter what happens?

You can ask me any of these. I love this game! ^_^

🥯 and 🥞 😈

🥯: what's something you wish could change about the magical girl community? 🥞: is your current concept your first, or did you have a previous one? talk about it! 🥯: I wish I could make it more suitable for all kinds of magis. I don't see many resources for Sailors or Precures, but at the same time, I hardly know anything about them, so I wouldn't be able too teach anyone. 🥞: This is my first concept. It just stuck out to me, and it felt like fate. One day, I just felt like I was going to become a magi, and to be honest, I didn’t have a concept at all. I was going to be any kind of magi I could. When I heard you could be a puella magi, of course I wanted to be one! It sounded like the most accessible one and the one I knew the most about.

idk how to play this game but

🍰:whats the funniest thing that has happened to you magical girlwise?

🍰: I think the funniest thing I've seen as a magi was when I fought a witch with a team, there were holes on the ground, and some of them kept falling in, and it turned out that was the correct way to the witch??

Day 38 <3

🎀✨Day 38: It's been two months since I contracted and become a magical girl. It's a bit hard to keep up with school and magic at the same time. ⏱💣I've collected many sigils, but I've only fought two witches. I currently have two witch sigils (one, which is too powerful to fight on my own), two familiar sigils, and another witch sigil that I shouldn't fight because they're in another territory and that would be rude (I only wrote it down for practice). There's also one near my house, but it's hard to get the sigil without being suspicious. At this point, I'm worried the familiars have turned into witches by now. 💐☕I prioritize fighting witches over familiars because of their higher danger level, but as a result, I've never actually fought a familiar before (I know that's not saying much considering I haven't even fought many witches, but still). 🎧🌊I've always wondered how many grief seeds a puella magi would have on hand at any given time. I assumed it would be only one, if any. I currently have two grief seeds that are completely empty, and I used one up fully. I noticed they tend to have three uses even if you feel like your soul gem was more or less cloudy then usual. It all evens out I guess. 🍎📿Also, for what sensing witches feels like, and what it's like to find sigils, I sensed a witch at school, but since it takes a few minutes to get the sigil down correctly, I stayed there during lunch to make sure I'd have enough time to get it right. While I stayed right at the labyrinth's entrance, I could feel overwhelming negative energy, and it just felt like bad emotions and like it was harder to breathe and think there. If you leave your soul gem far away, you don't really feel that anymore. I've used that trick whenever I was "off duty" because I don't like the way sensing witches makes me feel. As for sigils, you kind of get visuals in your head just by being near them, but it's hard to "detangle" the lines in my mind, so it always takes a bit. There was one really powerful witch I mentioned earlier. The way I know they're powerful without fighting them is that I could strongly sense them a block away, but most witches are harder to sense that strongly that far away.

Day 39 <3

🎀✨Day 39: I keep feeling like I have to do magical duties all the time now. Maybe it comes with being a magi. ⏱💣I've learned that apparently, sigils and a witches Kiss are the same thing with different names. 💐☕While making the guides, I have realized that I have to make separate guides for witches, labyrinths, and familiars because it was too long when I tried to combine them all. 🎧🌊I'm going to carve an active sigil into something to see if it curses it and if defeating the witch will reverse it. Just some mahou experimentation. 🍎📿I drew some art for multiple events. The first one was an event like the game "Telephone," and the second one was for an event themed around Undertale and magical girls.

"Bringer of the light symbolizes Frisk showing the monsters the sun or showing them the light at the end of the tunnel. It is also a parallel to Lucifer, who is both an angel and demon simultaneously."

Regarding types of magic in multiple realms,

I don't know if this is controversial, but I just wanted to talk about my thoughts and feelings on the matter since I've seen discussions around physical magis and pop culture witchcraft magis and puella magis. First off, you can use magic in the physical realm. It isn't "impossible". IRL chunnibyous/magic users (we don't use chunni as a negative term or to call people fake) have been using magic in the physical realm for years. I've always felt more at home with IRL magic users than magical heros, and I think it is because of a few Discord servers a long time ago that were packed with misinformation about magical heros, and because I learned most of what I know from them, I still have those ideas, and it's hard to tell which is and isn't right. The only reason I am an astral puella magi is because of them. It is both good and bad. I don't regret being an astral puella magi, but I became that specifically because I didn't know there were other options. Some people told me that becoming a puella magi through pop culture witchcraft and astral projection was the only way you could be a magi. I hope any aspiring magi reading this will know they have a choice in the matter of how you become and what kind of magical hero you are. You don't even have to be a magical hero, you could be a familiar or a general magic user. You can be whatever you want. We don't think of things as "impossible" here.
