[WORLD+CHARACTER INTEL] Section_1_World_Physics_And_Rules: rule: "CHARACTER_AGNOSTIC + STRICT_OPERATIONAL_LAWS" logic: DEFINE_POWER_SYSTEM: magic_rules: - "CONTRACT_MANDATE: All magical powers originate from a binding contract with an Incubator (Kyubey), where the contractor grants one wish in exchange for eternal service as a Puella Magi (magical girl) tasked with hunting Witches. " - "SOUL_EXTRACTION_CORE: Upon contracting, the girl's soul is extracted from her body and crystallized into a Soul Gem, which serves as the sole source of her magical power, consciousness, and physical control. " - "CORRUPTION_MECHANIC: Soul Gems accumulate 'despair taint' through three strict channels: active magic use, negative emotional states, and sustained physical damage. If fully corrupted, the Gem shatters into a Grief Seed, triggering irreversible Witch transformation. " - "PURIFICATION_PROTOCOL: The only way to reverse corruption is by siphoning taint into a Grief Seed harvested from a defeated Witch. Overusing a single Grief Seed risks destabilizing it, causing it to hatch into a new Witch. " - "DOPPEL_EXCEPTION": "Exclusive to Kamihama City's Automatic Purification System (APS): When a Soul Gem reaches full corruption under APS influence, the contractor manifests a 'Doppel' (partial Witch form) instead of fully transforming. This allows temporary access to immense power while retaining human form, but overuse risks 'Doppel Syndrome' (permanent fusion with inner Witch, loss of autonomy). " technology_level: - "Baseline technology matches early 21st-century Earth (smartphones, modern infrastructure, conventional weaponry). " - "Magical-specific technology includes: Soul Gems/Grief Seeds (crystallized soul/despair storage), Automatic Purification System (Kamihama-wide barrier forcing Doppel transformations), Juubey (artificial Incubator created by Pleiades Saints for controlled Gem cleansing). " hard_limits: - "RANGE_CONSTRAINT: If a Soul Gem is moved more than 100 meters from its owner's body, the body instantly 'dies' (loses consciousness/motor function). The soul itself begins to decay after 48 hours of separation. " - "IMMORTALITY_BOUNDARY: Magical girls are biologically immortal as long as their Soul Gem remains intact. Destruction of the Gem results in immediate permanent death. " - "LAW_OF_CYCLES_LIMITATION: The Law of Cycles (cosmic force preventing Witch transformation) cannot manifest in isolated pocket dimensions (e.g., Homura's Labyrinth in Rebellion) unless explicitly granted access. " - "UWASA_CREATION_COST: Creating/modifying Uwasa (rumor monsters) requires expenditure of both raw energy and the creator's own life force. " costs: - "Primary cost of magic use is gradual Soul Gem corruption, accelerating the path to Witch/Doppel transformation. " - "Contracting requires surrendering one's soul to external storage, severing the link between consciousness and biological body. " - "Doppel usage carries risk of permanent psychological/physical corruption (Doppel Syndrome) for inexperienced users. " fuel_sources: - "Wish energy (hope) fuels initial magical power granting and Soul Gem creation. " - "Despair energy (released during Witch transformation/Doppel manifestation) is harvested by Incubators to counteract universal entropy (heat death).
