		+	*Does anything special happen if a Maerorus is made from a Magical Girl and her witch self? Higher/lower SAN than normal Maerorus? More powerful because synergy? Weaker because abilities are redundant? Different chance of successful operation? I’m asking because The 9th has Sayaka and her witch core.
		+	**Lower SAN in the sense that it makes them feel and see things they shouldn't be, like being look through the veil behind reality. Definitely more powerful. It's really a wild card.[https://ask.fm/Deculture/answers/150838290356]

		+	*Does Vintage have any special powers as a result of being a Maerorus? Is the bird one of her familiars?
		+	**Vintage's Maerorus ability is "Beasts' Lair", which allows her to summon 666 shadow-beasts (familiars) from her own shadow. The bird, Reggie, is her most powerful familiar. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/128005203124]
		+
		+
		+	*What are the other Maerorus like? Do they just have their limbs witched out like Kharn does, or do they have a different appearance?
		+	**They have different appearances. Kharn is a bit of an aberration. Vintage is a Maerorus herself, and she looks relatively normal (apart from being a megucalet). [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/127995726004]

 *Do Maerorus still accumulate Grief? Do they need to clean their special Soul Gems? If so, how can they tell what the degree of corruptionis, if it looks like that?‎

		+
		+
		+	*How powerful would a witch have to be to manifest in the physical world? Like the one in Mamis apartment?
		+	**Quite powerful, really. A witch that's eaten a lot of people already, for sure [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114514001844]
		+
		+
		+	*how chaotic would things be if larro's take on magical girl couples having kids would be implemented?
		+	**Ver chaotic! But the incubators would push for birth control soon enough. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114477068468]
		+
		+
		+	*So how limited are Callidus shapeshifting powers? Would one totally dedicated to altering herself be able to turn into some kind of battle form kind of thing where she's got some bulletproof carapace and blades for arms? Or are they limited to the merely human?
		+	**I think those are possible, just that they use too much magic to be practical. I don't discount it as a possibility though! [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114449562548]
		+
		+
		+	*So theoretically a Callidus could become a ninja turtle is what you're saying?
		+	**Theoretically, but also a vey dangerous kind of transformation. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114472947636]
		+
		+
		+	*What are the usual countermeasures for Callidus?
		+	**Having a counter-Callidus in your party. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114436509620]
		+
		+
		+	*Chiaki and Girl A have shown themselves capable of time stop, but are they capable of clock-up and clock-down?
		+	**Do note that Homura has access to these in various official games. Those are powers that Chiaki will have to unlock from Dildoes and Braids, respectively. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114422427316]
		+
		+
		+	*Are Eversors expected to be more all-around durable than Vindicares, Callidus & Culexus? And on the other end, could those other 3's bodies be considered only barely more durable than a regular human disregarding the whole soul gem and regeneration thing?
		+	**Yes, Eversors are built tough. And the other ranks' bodies are still a sight more durable than uncontracted humans. They can still take a bit of abuse, but not as much as Eversors. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114421826228]
		+
		+
		+	*Can a magical girl graft her body parts to a non-magical body? In an emergency, can do this with their head and get out of dodge? I have a feeling this would be in the realm of wish magic instead of standard though.
		+	**I don't think so. Perhaps someone from the Fourth could do it, but then again their bodies have pretty much been replaced with ironforms. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114421511348]
		+
		+
		+	*Are there other ways of becoming using magic, besides contracting and becoming a magical girl?
		+	**Getting one of the Golden Weapons. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114406261172]
		+
		+
		+	*I feel like Callidus are less seen than Vindicares and Eversors. What kind of powers do they usually have, and are they rarer than the other two?
		+	**Callidus are like their 40K counterparts, in that they're perfect for subterfuge and espionage. The general term are 'spies' or 'shapeshifters', so their powerset would branch off from that. And not only are they rarer, but they're also more expensive to train. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114399349684]
		+
		+
		+	*Is there a supernatural community? You know, like a proper authority that governs vampires, werewolves, and other creatures.
		+	**I wouldn't say so, no. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114397143732]
		+
		+
		+	*Do Magical Girls have to transform to gain access to their abilities?
		+	**They do, yes! Most never really get out of their transformations though. Also if a magical girl is good enough, she can access a barebones version of her abilities withou transforming. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114397056692]
		+
		+
		+	*There are active witches out there? What happens if the girls can't stop one or it gets away? Does it just kinda wander around on its own? Or is that pretty much always worst case when one slips the net?
		+	**There are, and usually other squads are notified it if gets away or kills the squad sent to kill it. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114366625460]
		+
		+
		+	*Could a girl wish to become a boy? Or would that just kind of annoy/break the Incubator?
		+	**I've answered this question before. A girl can wish to be a boy, and she'll turn into one, but when she transforms into a Magical Girl she'll turn back into a girl. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114365309876]
		+
		+
		+	*Has Wendy Cooldown achieved what Leonardo Di Caprio could (or not) during Inception? That is, planting a false memory on her victim while he/she is sleeping.
		+	**I would say so. That's in the purview of her abilities. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114363033268]
		+
		+
		+	*In Psycho-Pass, the Sybil System could measure how deranged was the psyche of any person. This measurement could be made at any given moment, using the huge computing power of the Sybil System. Is there any device that resembles the Sybil System in MGNQ, capable of measuring the hue of a soul gem?
		+	**I would say so. The Thirteenth helped develop scanners for that, integrating them in Culexus' Anima Speculum helmets. Each hospital wing of an Officio should have one too. And an incubator can remotely keep track of someone's soul gem purity. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114362739892]
		+
		+
		+	*What would happen if a girl wished to be able to grant wishes?
		+	**Outright refusal, stone cold silence, or: thatsnothowitworksyoulittleshit.jpg [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114362762164]
		+
		+
		+	*What kind of wish do you have to make to become a specific class of magical girl?
		+	**It's not really the kind of wish you have to make to become a specific class (unless that's your real aim) but the Incubator making the contract doesn't know what Magical Girl the contractee becomes until the Soul Gem is crystallized. He just establishes the contract, let it drain as much as it needs from his energy reserves at the time to crystallize, and it's when the Soul Gem is already there that he knows what kind of magical girl she'll be. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114361522868]
		+
		+
		+	*But Sayaka is always pulling her 'sword' out of a cake...
		+	**She can pull swords out of mostly anything, as long as her hand is hidden [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114359423924]
		+
		+
		+	*Sayaka can pull swords out of cakes. Do any other megucas have odd tricks like this?
		+	**Mami has something similar with her rifles. Kharn can make Skulltaker grow larger temporarily. Chiaki can spawn 'reloads' and steal girls' underwear while they're still wearing it. I'm sure the other writeup girls have their own neat tricks, though. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114359447220]
		+
		+
		+	*Can all Culexus do memory modification?
		+	**Not all of them. Some don't have the fine pin-point acuity or the fortitude to do it (think of it like neurosurgery with your eyes closed and in a closed room where a thousand TVs on a thousand channels are on at the same time in full volume). It takes a special kind of Callidus and training to do so. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114358948276]
		+
		+
		+	*What abilities are inherent to all eversors?
		+	**Increased regeneration, increased speed, iron stamina, the ability to never get fat no matter what you eat, +++lewd. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114357608884]
		+
		+
		+	*What's inherent to vindicares?
		+	Sharp eyesight, dead-eye aiming, impeccable knowledge of their own selected firearm/group of firearms, increased stamina for relocation/gunfights, not a whole lot of regen but just a bit. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114357739188]
		+
		+
		+	*What's inherent to the others?
		+	**Culexus have super mind powers and low everything else (they have to manually increase strength/physical stamina/etc). Vanus are standard magical girls (standard on regen, stamina, etc) but generally are made for absorbing/regurgitating information. Venenum is a special case where you have a decent spread of stats but most of your stuff goes into either medicine or related things. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114358068404]
		+
		+
		+	*And callidus?
		+	**Oh, I forgot about them! Callidus start out with high stamina, medium melee, low shooty and medium speed. A few steps below Eversors in physical capability, definitely above Vindicares, and has that shapeshifting thing going. + Healthy [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114358556084]
		+
		+
		+	*And Maerorus?
		+	**EX all stats, SUPER LOW SAN. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114358302132]
		+
		+
		+	*Can a vampire or werewolf become a magical girl and vise versa?
		+	**More like a magical girl can wish to be either of those two! [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114351112628]
		+
		+
		+	*Speaking of vampires, does the supernatural exist in MGNQ?
		+	**It does! Ghosts, vampires, demons. Monstergirls somewhat, but they're all in the Sixth. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114327140788]
		+
		+
		+	*In TTS, it's common practice to kill a girl's body if they're on the verge of having a totally corrupted soul gem, to disconnect the body and Soul Gem so hopefully they'll be able to retreat to a place with therapists and large amounts of grief cubes. Is this also standard practice for Officios?
		+	**I think doing that in MGNQ would trigger witching out. Generally the best countermeasure for that is an emergency application of a Grief Seed if one's handy. If not, Soul Gem destruction would have to suffice. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114279895732]
		+
		+
		+	*Are humans capable of using magic without incubator/Godoka intervention? If so, how do they use it? Harry Potter or X-men style 'specials'? Hermetic style occultists hording ancient secrets? Or do they just occasionally FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING THEM?!
		+	**Not really, but the Golden Weapons are a shortcut to using magic even without a contract. [http://ask.fm/Deculture/answer/114157846708]
