Puella+Magi

Puella Magi (also known as Mahou Shoujo or Magical Girls) are mortals (usually teenage girls) who have made a contract with the entity known as Kyubey, or the Incubator. In exchange for granting them a single wish, it grants them the power to become a Magical Girl, and fight the evil Witches that prey on mankind.

What it doesn't tell them is the cost of doing so, for to give them their powers, Kyubey removes their souls from their bodies and forms it into a brightly-coloured gemstone known as a Soul Gem. When they use their magic or experience negative emotions, the light of their Soul Gem darkens. When it darkens entirely, whether due to overuse of their magic or due to giving into despair, it shatters and transforms into a Grief Seed as their human bodies die and they transform into one of the very Witches they once fought. However, they can alleviate this darkness by having Grief Seeds, ghosts, House Skavis White Court Vampires, or other similar beings absorb the darkness from their Soul Gems.

Additionally, the removal of the soul from the body means that should their Soul Gem be moved too far from their bodies, they are no longer able to animate them and as a result, the body instantly dies. Should the Soul Gem be returned, the body will reanimate; this will occur even if the body has begun to decay so long as it is basically intact (though this is often very traumatic for the girl in question). However, it does grant a significant advantage in combat: while destroying the Soul Gem does cause instant death, it is very small and difficult to hit if the Magical Girl is defending herself, but so long as it is intact, the Magical Girl is highly resistant to pain and capable of continuing to fight despite injuries that would cripple a normal human.

A Mahou Shoujo must have an appropriate High Concept, as well as an Aspect detailing her wish. In addition, the character must take the following Supernatural Powers:
 * Musts:**
 * Human Guise [+0]
 * Wizard's Constitution
 * Feeding Dependancy [+1] covering:
 * Supernatural Toughness [-4]
 * The Catch (Attacks to Soul Gem bypass Toughness) [+3]
 * Supernatural Senses (magic detection, as The Sight but without the ability to open the Third Eye) [-1]

Mahou Shoujo often possess a number of other abilities, usually themed around the wish they made. Most often, they possess some degree of Inhuman Strength and/or Speed, as well as the ability to magically create weapons (using the Claws and/or Breath Weapon powers; they usually use Weaponry and Firearms skills for these, respectively). Some may possess Channelling, Ritual, or a form of Sponsored Magic, themed around their Wish. Many other supernatural powers are possible, if they are suitably related to their wish; for instance, a girl whose wish was to heal someone might acquire Inhuman Recovery and Channelling (Biomancy). If they possess Supernatural Powers that require the Mental Stress to activate (like most spellcasting powers), they take Hunger Stress instead.
