...yeah that doesn't sound like it generalises at all.

Themes are really diverse, yeah.

Have there been proper repeats yet that are not in the same team?

Proper repeats defined how?

Like someone whose theme and powers are about being psychic? Or about magnetism and metal?

I can't think of anyone who does 'magnetism' off the top of my head but there's other magical girls who do metal and at least one other with mind powers.

Huh. Alright, cool.

Any idea what you'd want?

Way too open-ended, and I don't even know yet how the theme influences the powers! It'd be cool if whatever it was could be converted back into mana of my kind of magic.

Dunno what to tell you there.

I haven't tried to touch any of this magic yet, don't know if it's convertible or copiable or what. Magic here doesn't seem to be finite like it is at home.

Huh. Yeah, I wouldn't really describe magic as finite.

All magic back home, with potentially one exception, is human-originated, and needs human-originated mana to be run. Mages don't really have an upper-bound on mana, but we are born with zero and generate it at a constant rate from there.

What's the potential exception?

Huge storm that hasn't stopped for the last few hundred years and prevents all exploration of the northern hemisphere.

Huh. That sucks.

Yeah. I was planning on visiting it someday and seeing whether I can figure anything about it out—maybe drain some mana off it or something—but yeah.

Well, maybe we can get you back there.

I'm sure you will, but I'd like to rack up on the magical and economic goodies before that, and perhaps find a way to open a permanent portal or something. Gains from trade everywhere!

Indeed.

Is there anything else I should know about magical girls?

Probably but most of it is kind of--backgroundy, to me, I'm not sure I'm thinking of everything...

I won't hold it against you.

Mmkay. Using magical girl magic is tiring, like you've got a whole new muscle to exhaust...

Interesting.
