Common forms for phylacteries are miniature treasure chests, rings and amulets. This term also comes from ''Dungeons & Dragons'', where liches or undead wizards use them as a means to store their soul. When the lich dies while the soul is still intact the body regenerates, similar to the in-show practice of making a virtually indestructible body from the Soul Gem. This is why some people to refer to Magical Girls as "liches" to make a joke. | ||

|description = | |description = Shorthand-corruption for speculation, this term originated on imageboards discussing the anime ''[[wikipedia:So Ra No Wo To|Sora No Woto]]''. Fans originally compared this series to the anime ''[[Wikipedia:K-On!|K-On!]]'' due to their similar art styles. The main character of ''K-On'' named her guitar 'Guitah', which led to some fans referring to the trumpet of ''Sora No Woto'''s main character as 'Trumpetah'. When ''Sora No Woto'' turned out to be more serious than fans expected, the naming scheme was applied to other words such as 'Speculah' and 'Post Traumatic Stress Disodah'. Ultimately, the 'Speculah' term migrated to the ''Madoka Magica'' fandom. | ||
