I'm not sure how necessary this warning ends up being, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

If you ever see a small, white creature, going by the name Incubator or Kyubey, I advice you all not to listen to a word they say. Anything they have to offer is a not worth it and all you would do is fall into their trap.

Especially do not, under any circumstances, accept the contract they offer.

Here is a picture drawn by my friend to show what the creature looks like.

Thank you for your time.

Our definition of a witch is different. We call those who seek to harm normal humans by any means witches. Those who would spread despair and death.

[badsunrising]

That could apply to many things. Many humans even.

[ Is that why this person said becoming magical girl would make one lose their humanity? ]

[alljustforher]

Of course. But witches can only do that; spread death and despair, while humans have options to do otherwise.

[badsunrising]

So they are those who have lost themselves to primal urges. Wouldn't killing them be a mercy then? Can only magical girls withstand their power?

[alljustforher]

It's what magical girls do. They hunt down witches and kill them. As far as I know there aren't any other beings back in my world who can fight them.

Here that would be possible, but there should be no witches here.

[badsunrising]

Not that anyone has mentioned.

What of yourself? It's unlikely you would have this much knowledge about the contract had you not accepted it yourself. But if you are warning others of its dangers, you have not lost all of your humanity.

[alljustforher]

By "losing humanity" I meant that a person's soul is taken from their body and put into a container. The body only becomes a vessel that functions while the container is nearby.

You would be right in assuming I'm a magical girl myself. Someone who lost their humanity in the way described and is just a soul in a container.

[badsunrising]

[ That. That is a lot to absorb. There may be a delay in typing... ]

It cannot be reversed?

[alljustforher]

No. Once the contract is sealed there's no going back.

[badsunrising]

You mentioned a wish. Could it be used for this?

[alljustforher]

It's possible, in theory, but you only get one wish and it would make another the same way anyway. It's an endless cycle.

[badsunrising]

I take it the creature who grants this power is unkillable.

[ Though he's not sure if destroying it would eliminate the contract, based on what he's read here. ]

[alljustforher]

Unfortunately, yes. They have multiple copies of themselves, so when one dies, another takes its place.

[badsunrising]

I will keep an eye out for it. Thank you for the warning.
