|-
|Homura|| I had a very scary dream.
|ほむら||私ね、とても怖い夢を見たの。
|-
|Madoka|| A scary dream?
|まどか||夢？
|-
|Homura|| In that dream Madoka went to a place far away, a place that I could never reach. I was the only one who remembered Madoka, I was lonely and in pain. However no else understood my feeling. In the end I doubted whether or not the Madoka I remembered ever existed in the first place or just that something I imagined.
|ほむら||あなたが、もう二度会えないほど遠い所に行っちゃって、なのに世界中の誰もかもがそのことを忘れちゃって、私だけがまどかのことを覚えてるたったひとりの人間として取り残されて…。寂しいのに、悲しいのに、その気持ちを誰にもわかってもらえない。そのうちにまどかの思い出は私が勝手に作り出した絵空事じゃないかって、自分自身さえ信じられなくなって…。
|-
|Madoka|| That is a very painful dream, however don't worry, i would never go away and leave you alone.
|まどか||うん、それはとっても嫌な夢だね。でも大丈夫だよ、私だけが誰にも会えなくなるほど遠くに一人で行っちゃうなんて、そんなことありっこないよ。
|-
|Homura|| How can you be so certain?
|ほむら||どうして？なぜそう言い切れるの？
|-
|Madoka|| Because it's me. If that it's something that even Homura-chan started to cry about, I would never be able to endure it.
|まどか||だって私だよ？ほむらちゃんでさえ泣いちゃうような辛いこと、わたしが我慢できるわけないじゃない。
|-
|Homura|| That is also something that is unbearable to you?
|ほむら||あなたにとっても、それは我慢できないほど辛いこと？
|-
|Madoka|| That is right, Homura-chan Sayaka-chan, Mami-san, Kyouko-chan, papa, mama, Tatsuya and Hitomi-chan and the rest of the class, I don't want to part with any of you. Even if that is something I must do, I would not have the courage to go through when the time comes.
|まどか||そうだよ。ほむらちゃん、さやかちゃん、マミさんに杏子ちゃん、パパやママやタツヤ、それに仁美ちゃんやクラスのみんな、誰とだってお別れなんてしたくない。もしほかにどうしようもない時だったとしても、そんな勇気私にはないよ。
|-
|Homura|| Ah... is that so....
|ほむら||っ...！
|-
|Homura|| Are these your true feelings then? Then I was a fool to have misunderstood it. I should not have approved. I should have used every possible mean to stop you back then.
|ほむら||そう、そうだったのね。それがあなたの本当の気持ちなら、わたし、なんてバカな間違いを…。やっぱり、認めちゃいけなかったんだ。あの時私はどんな手を使ってでも、あなたを止めなきゃいけなかった。
|-
|Homura|| Madoka...
|ほむら||まどか
|-
|Madoka|| Eh?
|まどか||ん？
|-
|Homura||I know.. that you are kind to everyone and not afraid of making choices. When you feel that there is something that only you can do, you would not hesitate even if it means hurting yourself.
|ほむら||あなたにはね、どれほど辛いことだとわかっていても、それを選択出来てしまう勇気があるの。あなたが、あなたにしかできないことがあると知った時、あなたは自分でも気付いていないほど、優しすぎて、強すぎる…。私ね、知ってるんだよ。
|-
|Madoka|| Homura-chan?
|まどか||ほむらちゃん？
|-
|Homura|| As I thought... you didn't remember it. Once I thought you were just a mirage... a construct made by someone else. How else would I have been able to meet you again like this? But I know, you definitely are the real Madoka. I am really happy, to be able to speak to you again, to be able to feel your gentleness like this once more. Thank you, this is more than enough happiness for me. I need to go now, there are still much to be done.
|ほむら||そっか、やっぱりまどかも、なにも覚えてないんだね、もしかしたら、あなたは幻かもしれないって、誰が用意した偽物かもしれないって思ってた。でなければ、こうしてまた会えるなんてどう考えでもおかしいもの。でもわかる。あなたは本当のまどかだわ。こんなふうに一緒に話ができて、もう一度また優しくしてくれて、本当に嬉しい。ありがとう、それたけで十分に私は幸せだった…。もう行くわ。わたし、まだやり残したことがあるから。
|-
|Madoka|| Homura-chan?
|まどか||ほむらちゃん？
|-
|Madoka (Voice Over)|| I don't understand, Homura-chan.
|まどか||どうしちゃったんだろ、ほむらちゃん…。
|-
|Kyubey|| Kyu?
|キユゥべぇ||きゅう？

|-
| QB||Even though you shouldnt have wanted to know the truth, but you can't help but chase after it. Human curiosity is really illogical. Well, I have long thought that you would have found the answer, Akemi Homura.
|キュゥべえ||真実なんて知りたくもないはずなのに、それでも追い求めずにはいられないなんて、つくづく人間の好奇心というものは理不尽だね。まあ、君ならいずれはきっと、答えにたどり着くだろうとは思っていたよ、暁美ほむら。
|-
| Homura|| Incubator, of course you are the one behind all this.
|ほむら||インキュベーター。やっぱり何もかも、あなたの仕業だったのね。
|-
|Kyubey|| The question is thus, where exactly is your life and soul located. Well, let me show you the answer.
|キュゥべえ||残こる疑問は、君の命と魂は、今どこにあるのかだよね？その答えは、僕が教えてあげる。
|-
|Kyubey|| This is what is beyond the boundary of this fake Mitakihara, your condition in the real world.
|キュゥべえ||これがこの偽物の見滝原市の外側、現実世界の君の姿だよ。
|-
|Homura|| How!!
|ほむら||そんな！？
|-
|Kyubey|| We created a barrier field surronding your soul gem that prevented all intereference from outside. What will happen when we seal off a soul gem that is darkened to the limit?
|キュゥべえ||僕たちの作り出した干渉遮断フィールドは君のソウルジェムを包んでる。すでに限界まで濁りきっていたソウルジェムを、外からの影響力が一切及ばない環境に閉じ込めたとき、何が起こるのか？
|-
|Homura|| An experiment.....
|ほむら||実験…！
|-
|Kyubey|| When we isolate it from the power that purifies and ascends magic girls, the power that you called 'laws of cycle' then what will happen to the soul gem? The resulting observation is indeed rather fascinating. An isolated dimension was formed with its own independent law that seeks to guide and capture victims from the outside... This match what you have previously explained, the power of a 'witch'. So long as you are protected by the isolation field, then you would not become a full 'witch'. Like a chick who grew up within its own shell. That is why you formed a labryinth within. It's quite shocking that it is fully capable of replicating and reproducing an entire city. This place we are at right now, is a world existing solely within your own soul gem.
|キュゥべえ||魔法少女を浄化し、消滅させる力、君たちが「円環の理」と呼んでいる現象から隔離されたとき、ソウルジェムはどうなるのか。確かに興味深い結果を観察させてもらったよ。独自の法則に支配された閉鎖空間の形成と、外部の犠牲者の誘導・捕獲。これこそまさしく、いつか君が説明してくれた魔女とやらの能力、そのものだよね。遮断フィールドに保護されたソウルジェムがまだ砕けていない以上、君は完全な形で魔女に変化できたわけでもない。卵を割ることができなかった雛が殻の中で成長してしまったようなものだね。だから君は、自らの内側に結界を作り出すことになった。まさか、町一つを丸ごと模倣して再現できるとは、驚きだ。ここはね、君のソウルジェムの中にある世界なんだよ。
|-
|Homura|| That is quite a strange logic, if it's isolated from the outside world. Then it should not possible for someone to enter the labyrinth.
|ほむら||その理屈は変よ。外部と遮断されているなら、この結界に、誰かが迷い込むことだって、なかったはずでしょう？
|-
|Kyubey|| That is due to our adjustment. The isolation field will only stop interference from one direction. Even though it will reject all attempts from the outside, it is still possible to guide a victim in from the inside. Only targets that your witch side unconsciously seeks will enter this world. After such limitation, if the force known as 'law of cycle' seeks to contact Akemi Homura still. Then the only way it will enter is through being captured by the labyrinth as a victim and be forced to materialize in this world. In that case, us Incubator will then finally be able to ascertain the puzzle behind magic girl's disappearance, and observe it directly. In fact, the characters that existed in the real world already joined in strange ways. What is more fascinating, a girl that neither existed in past memory nor future possibility, someone who should have no connection, no cause or effect to this world, joined seemlessly in your world. Well, there was never any need to search, from the begining you have made things easier for us, Akemi Homura. Even before this all started, you have always called the 'law of cycles' by the name of Kaname Madoka.
|キュゥべえ||そこは僕たちが調整しているのさ。フィールドの遮断力はあくまで一方通行だ。外からの干渉は弾くけれど、内側からの誘導で、犠牲者を連れ込むことはできる。魔女としての君が、無意識のうちに求めた標的だけが、この世界に入り込めるんだ。ここまで条件を限定した上で、尚も「円環の理」なる存在が、あくまで暁美ほむらに接触しようとするならば、その時は、君の結界に招き入れられた犠牲者という形でこの世界に具現化するしかない。そうなれば、僕たちインキュベーターはこれまで謎だった魔法少女消滅の原因をようやく特定し、観測することができる。実際、君が作った結界には、現実世界にはすでに存在しないキャラクターが奇妙な形で参加している。とりわけ興味深いのは、過去の記憶にも未来の可能性にも存在しない一人の少女だ。この宇宙と一切の因果関系がない存在なのに、彼女は何の違和感もなく君の世界に紛れ込んできた。まあ、そもそも最初から探す必要さえなかったんだ。手間を省いてくれたのは、君自身なんだよ、暁美ほむら。君は以前から、「円環の理」のことを「鹿目まどか」という名前で呼んでいたからね。
|-
|Homura|| Then she is really..
|ほむら||じゃあ、あの子はやっぱり…！
|-
|Kyubey|| The only troublesome point was that, it does not appear that Kaname Madoka possess any unique power. It seems that the memory control effect produced by the labryinth is effective even against Madoka. Not only has she forgot the purpose of providing salvation to you, she even forgot her true identity and power. As such we had no way of progression.
|キュゥべえ||唯一厄介だったのは、鹿目まどかは未知の力を発揮する素振りを全く見せなかったことだ。結界の主である君の記憶操作はまどかに対しても作用してしまったみたいだね。彼女は君を救済するという目的だけでなく、自分自身の力と正体さえ見失っていたようだ。これでは手の出しようがない。
|-
|Kyubey|| Kaname Madoka forgot her identity as goddess, Akemi Homura forgot her identity as 'witch'. Due to this circumstance we are forced to run around in circle meaninglessly. Well, even though we were intending on waiting for the chick to break its shell, but since now that you have come to the truth, it should make things easier to upset the status quo. Now then Akemi Homura, just seek the help of Madoka, that way she will remember her own identiy, and the reason why she came here.
|キュゥべえ||鹿目まどかは神であることを忘れ、暁美ほむらは魔女であることを忘れ、おかげで僕らはこんな無意味な堂々巡りに付き合わされることになった。まあ、気長に待つつもりでいたけれど、君が真相にたどり着いたことで、ようやく均衡も崩れるだろう。さあ暁美ほむら、まどかの助けを求めるといい。それで彼女は思い出す、自分が何者なのか、何のためにここに来たのかを。
|-
|Homura|| Incubator, what is your goal?
|ほむら||インキュベーター、あなたたちの狙いは何？
|-
|Kyubey|| Of course it's to observe the force,'law of cycle', that is only a theory up till now.
|キュゥべえ||もちろん、今まで仮説にすぎなかった「円環の理」を、この目で見届けることだよ。
|-
|Homura|| Why? For beings who speak of mere curiosity as illogical, why would you go through the trouble of setting up all this to merely ascertain an existence? No, what you seek is to control Madoka!
|ほむら||何のために？好奇心なんて理不尽だって言ってたくせに、まどかの存在をただ確認するために、こんな大げさな段取りまで用意するわけがない。まどかを、支配するつもりね！
|-
|Kyubey|| I wont deny that was our final goal. Well this is a difficult road in itself. The occurence itself is a puzzle to us completely, an existence that can not be ascertained is truly difficult to handle.
|キュゥべえ||最終的な目的については否定しないよ。まあ道のりは困難だろう。この現象は僕たちにとって全くの謎だった。存在すら確認できないものは、手の出しようがないからね。
|-
|Homura|| It would not be you to give up so easily.
|ほむら||それで諦めるあなたたちじゃないわ。
|-
|Kyubey|| That is correct, if it can be observed , then it can be interfered with. If It can be interefered with, then it can be controled. One day we will be able to fully strip the power of 'law of cycles'. That way magical girls will become witches once again, energy collection on a higher level then can be expected. The conversion of energy from hope to despair will be of a level beyond our expectation thus far. There truly exists infinite possibility within magic girls. From the process of you turning into a witch, its value will then be shown.
|キュゥべえ||そうだね。観測さえできれば干渉できる。干渉できるなら、制御もできる。いずれ僕たちの研究は「円環の理」を完全に克服するだろう。そうなれば、魔法少女は魔女となり、更なるエネルギーの回収が期待できるようになる。希望と絶望の相転移、その感情から変換されるエネルギーの総量は、予想以上のものだったよ。やっぱり魔法少女は無限の可能性を秘めている。君たちは魔女へと変化することで、その存在を全うするべきだ。
|-
|Homura|| tsk
|ほむら||
|-
|Kyubey|| Why are you so angry? This is really a topic that no longer relates to you. The existence known as Akemi Homura is over. At the end of your cruel destiny, you have completed the promise to meet again with the existence that is most important to you. That should be a joyous occasion.
|キュゥべえ|| なぜ怒るんだい？君にはもう関わりのない話だ。暁美ほむらの存在は完結した。君は過酷だった運命の果てに、待ち望んでいた存在との再会の約束を果たす。これは幸福なことなんだろう？
|-
|Homura|| No, I have never sought such happiness.
|ほむら||いいえ、そんな幸福は、求めてない。
|-
|Kyubey|| Unbelievable, you are letting your own grief increase on purpose... !? What are you thinking, there would not be any time for purification!
|キュゥべえ||そんな…自ら呪いを募らせるなんて、何を考えているんだ？浄化が間に合わなくなるよ！
|-
|Homura|| Even though you would not know that right now. But I became a magical girl with but one wish, 'to save Madoka'. That is why I will do so again this time. I would rather become a witch than reveal Madokas secret any further. Incubator, I wont let you have any further contact with her!
|ほむら||今のあなたが知るはずもないけれど、私はね、「まどかを救う」ただそれだけの祈りで魔法少女になったのよ。だから今度も同じことを！まどかの秘密が暴かれるくらいなら、私はこのまま、魔女になってやる！もう二度と、インキュベーターにあの子は触らせない！
|-
|Kyubey|| You want to deny salvation with such a reasoning? You want to spend an eternity cursing the world?
|キュゥべえ||君はそんな理由で救済を拒むのかい？このまま、永遠の時を、呪いと共に過ごすつもりなのか？
|-
|Homura|| It's fine, this labyrinth will become my grave. Both Tomoe Mami and Sakura Kyouko are here, I believe in them.
|ほむら||大丈夫。きっとこの結界が私の死に場所になるでしょう。ここには巴マミも佐倉杏子もいる。彼女たちを信じる。
|-
|Kyubey||How can it be! Do you know what it means to die within the isolation field? If you refuse to break the shell and became a witch from within, then you wont be detected by 'law of cycle' and vanish. No one will be able to save you from despair then! And you will once again, lose your chance to reunite with Kaname Madoka.
|キュゥべえ||バカな！この遮断フィールドの内側で死ぬことが何を意味するのか、分かっているのかい？殻を破ることすら拒んで、卵の中で魔女として完成してしまったら、君は「円環の理」に感知されることすらなく破滅する！もう誰も君の魂を絶望から救えない。君は再び鹿目まどかと巡り会うチャンスを永久に失うんだよ！
|-
|Homura|| Shut up!
|ほむら||黙りなさい！
|-
|Kyubey|| This will undoubtly be the worst end for you.... really, why are human beings so illogical?
|キュゥべえ||君にとっても最悪の結末だろうに。まったく、どうして人間の思考はこうも理不尽なんだい？

|まどか||うん、それはとっても嫌な夢だね。でも大丈夫だよ、私だけが誰にも会えなくなるほど遠くに一人で行っちゃうなんて、そんなことありっこないよ。
|-
|Homura|| How can you be so certain?
|ほむら||どうして？なぜそう言い切れるの？
|-
|Madoka|| Because it's me. If that it's something that even Homura-chan started to cry about, I would never be able to endure it.
|まどか||だって私だよ？ほむらちゃんでさえ泣いちゃうような辛いこと、わたしが我慢できるわけないじゃない。
|-
|Homura|| That is also something that is unbearable to you?
|ほむら||あなたにとっても、それは我慢できないほど辛いこと？

|-
|Homura|| Madoka...
|ほむら||まどか
|-
|Madoka|| Eh?
|まどか||ん？
|-
|Homura||I know.. that you are kind to everyone and not afraid of making choices. When you feel that there is something that only you can do, you would not hesitate even if it means hurting yourself.
|ほむら||あなたにはね、どれほど辛いことだとわかっていても、それを選択出来てしまう勇気があるの。あなたが、あなたにしかできないことがあると知った時、あなたは自分でも気付いていないほど、優しすぎて、強すぎる…。私ね、知ってるんだよ。

But I know, you definitely are the real Madoka. I am really happy, to be able to speak to you again, to be able to feel your gentleness like this once more. Thank you, this is more than enough happiness for me. I need to go now, there are still much to be done.
|ほむら||そっか、やっぱりまどかも、なにも覚えてないんだね、もしかしたら、あなたは幻かもしれないって、誰が用意した偽物かもしれないって思ってた。でなければ、こうしてまた会えるなんてどう考えでもおかしいもの。でもわかる。あなたは本当のまどかだわ。こんなふうに一緒に話ができて、もう一度また優しくしてくれて、本当に嬉しい。ありがとう、それたけで十分に私は幸せだった…。もう行くわ。わたし、まだやり残したことがあるから。
|-
|Madoka|| Homura-chan?
|まどか||ほむらちゃん？

|-
|Kyubey|| I wont deny that was our final goal. Well this is a difficult road in itself. The occurence itself is a puzzle to us completely, an existence that can not be ascertained is truly difficult to handle.
|キュゥべえ||最終的な目的については否定しないよ。まあ道のりは困難だろう。この現象は僕たちにとって全くの謎だった。存在すら確認できないものは、手の出しようがないからね
|-
|Homura|| It would not be you to give up so easily.
|ほむら||それで諦めるあなたたちじゃないわ
|-
|Kyubey|| That is correct, if it can be observed , then it can be interfered with. If It can be interefered with, then it can be controled. One day we will be able to fully strip the power of 'law of cycles'. That way magical girls will become witches once again, energy collection on a higher level then can be expected. The conversion of energy from hope to despair will be of a level beyond our expectation thus far. There truly exists infinite possibility within magic girls. From the process of you turning into a witch, its value will then be shown.
|キュゥべえ||そうだね。観測さえできれば干渉できる。干渉できるなら、制御もできる。いずれ僕たちの研究は「円環の理」を完全に克服するだろう。そうなれば、魔法少女も魔女もない、更なるエネルギーの回収が期待できるようになる。希望と絶望の相転移、その感情から変換されるエネルギーの総量は、予想以上のものだったよ。やっぱり魔法少女は無限の可能性を秘めている。君たちは魔女へと変化することで、その存在を全うするべきだ。
|-
|Homura|| tsk
|ほむら||
|-
|Kyubey|| Why are you so angry? This is really a topic that no longer relates to you. The existence known as Akemi Homura is over. At the end of your cruel destiny, you have completed the promise to meet again with the existence that is most important to you. That should be a joyous occasion.
|キュゥべえ|| なぜ怒るんだい？君にはもう関わりのない話だ。暁美ほむらの存在は完結した。君は過酷だった運命の果てに、待ち望んでいた存在との再会の約束を果たす。これは幸福のことなんだろう？
|-
|Homura|| No, I have never sought such happiness.
|ほむら||いいえ、そんな幸福、求めてない
|-
|Kyubey|| Unbelievable, you are letting your own grief increase on purpose... !? What are you thinking, there would not be any time for purification!
|キュゥべえ||そんな…自ら呪いを募らせるなんて、何を考えているんだ？浄化が間に合わなくなるよ！
|-
|Homura|| Even though you would not know that right now. But I became a magical girl with but one wish, 'to save Madoka'. That is why I will do so again this time. I would rather become a witch than reveal Madokas secret any further. Incubator, I wont let you have any further contact with her!
|ほむら||今のあなたが知るはずもないけれど、私はね、「まどかを救う」ただそれだけの祈りで魔法少女になったのよ。だから今度も同じこと！まどかの秘密が暴かれるくらいなら、私はこのまま、魔女になってやる！もう二度と、インキュベーターにあの子は触らせない！
|-
|Kyubey|| You want to deny salvation with such a reasoning? You want to spend an eternity cursing the world?
|キュゥべえ||君はそんな理由で救済を拒むのかい？このまま、永遠の時を、呪いと共に過ごすつもりなのか？
|-
|Homura|| It's fine, this labyrinth will become my grave. Both Tomoe Mami and Sakura Kyouko are here, I believe in them.
|ほむら||大丈夫。きっとこの結界が私の死に場所になるでしょう。ここには巴マミも佐倉杏子もいる。彼女たちを信じる
|-
|Kyubey||How can it be! Do you know what it means to die within the isolation field? If you refuse to break the shell and became a witch from within, then you wont be detected by 'law of cycle' and vanish. No one will be able to save you from despair then! And you will once again, lose your chance to reunite with Kaname Madoka.
|キュゥべえ||バカな！この遮断フィールドの内側で死ぬことが何を意味するのか、分かっているのかい？殻を破ることすら拒んで、卵の中で魔女として完成してしまったら、君は「円環の理」に感知されることすらなく破滅する！もう誰も君の魂を絶望から救えない。君は再び鹿目まどかと巡り会うチャンスを永久に失うんだよ！
|-
|Homura|| Shut up!
|ほむら||黙りなさい！
|-
|Kyubey|| This will undoubtly be the worst end for you.... really, why are human beings so illogical?
|キュゥべえ||君にとっても最悪の結末だろうに。まったく、どうして人間の思考はこうも理不尽なんだい？

Witch Runes

7kry: Add md5sums of some files

[[File:Runes_chart_expanded.gif|thumb|A reference sheet displaying runic alphabets.]]

The runes that randomly appear in the Magic World have been solved. This page is meant to show the current works and discoveries in the domain, as well as the latest discussions and hypothesis.

==History==
[[File:runes_translated.jpg|thumb|Runes as of Episode 2]]
[[File:Dramatic depiction of 4chan breaking the rune code.jpg|left|200px]]
Initial efforts at codebreaking began by identifying each unique rune and assigning it a random letter for identification. The general (correct) assumption was that each rune corresponded to a letter in German but at the time it was still possible that the text was encrypted, a newly constructed language or even that they were just scattered completely at random. German was chosen as the most likely candidate because it appeared as direct quotes from Goethe's Faust and the Cottonballs/Pringlemen/Anthony's were observed to be chanting in German. Other candidate languages were: Japanese, English and Latin (due to the use of "Puella" in the title).

A number of codebreaking methods were tried unsuccessfully. For example; attempts at identifying the letters through numerical analysis of their frequency failed, implying that the runic script was not really a language (see complications below). A more focused approach, taking a single word or short phrase and attempting to match an appropriate German word to it also failed due to large amount of possible matches.

After some urging to use the Faust quotes as a [[wikipedia:Rosetta Stone|Rosetta Stone]], an anonymous found and [http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/44782290#p44786690 posted] a line of runes which matched one of those quotes. The runes and the German sign they matched are marked in red on the translation chart for episodes one and two.

This discovery confirmed that the runic script was a direct substitution for German letters and provided an initial set of translated runes to work with. /a/ quickly got to work using this starting set to translate more lines and fill in the gaps. Within 21 hours of this discovery, the vast majority of runic text appearing in the first two episodes had been translated into German and English, all letters had been identified (except Q and X which are extremely rare in German, though they appeared later on).

You can find the full discussion (900 posts long!) in threads [http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/44782290 #21], [http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/44790618 #22] and [http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/44797549 #23]

===Trivia===
*The runes are an original art by Inu Curry.
*During the [[Aniplex USA Madoka Premiere]], production staff was very surprised when overseas fans cracked the runes. It was stated that even obsessive Japanese fans had not gone that far.

==Complications==
[[File:Runes_chart.gif|thumb|Rough, work-in-progress reference sheet showing the different rune alphabets as they were being deciphered.]]
Throughout the translation process, efforts were hampered by several complications:

;Runic fonts
:There are at least three structurally distinct variants of the runic script. The most common variant is known as archaic and it is presumably the main set from which others are based on. The modern variant is a simplified version of the runes and corresponding letters are generally quite similar with only mild variation in their overall structure but a few letters, such as D, are completely different from each other. The third variant is constructed from elements found in musical scores and many of the runes look different.
;Typos
:Whether by mistake or on purpose (to frustrate codebreakers) approximately half of the lines of script contain one or more typos or misspelt words.
;Spacing
:Many lines of script have no spacing between the words or may be seperated in a deceptive manner. Also, some lines have multiple adjacent letters overlaid on the same space.

==Extras==
At first, a custom font had been created using the Runic characters and a Greasemonkey script allowed 4channers to communicate on the board in Runespeak. Afterward, lots of other scripts appeared here and there.

=== Fonts ===

==== Archaic and Modern Font ====

*[http://a.pomf.se/maqbsm.ttf Download MadokaRunes-2.0.ttf font] (Last Update: 11/11/11 - Version 2.0 - Redesigned and more accurate runes.) [https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6ys414nviitr9y/MadokaRunes-2.0.ttf Mirror] md5: a34bd82eaf6250c042b824eb33b38e2e
*[http://www.mediafire.com/?kf0frllp2oc005e Single Letters (SVG)] (Updated: 11/11/11) (dead link March 2014)

The archaic version of letters can be accessed by using uppercase letters, the modern variant is on lowercase letters.

==== Musical Font ====

A very rough font made from already vectorized musical runes.

==== Special Characters ====

[[File:Anja A.svg|thumb|right|95x95px|Stylized A.]]

Aside from the basic alphabet, runic numerals and diacritical marks are included in the font, as well as a number of special characters which can be viewed using ?, ~, ®, @, #, *, ^ and &. Archaic ß can be accessed using this character: <span style="font-size:large">ẞ</span> (uppercase ß(U+1E9E), not included in all browsers; copypasting the character should do the trick though).

=== Scripts ===

[[File:Shaftspeak.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"This is so cool, I can write in Runespeak!"]]

==== GreaseMonkey ====
*[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/94741 Greasemonkey script for 4chan] (replace spoilers by Runespeak)
*[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6792608/madoka_tag.user.js Greasemonkey script for 4chan] (replace spoilers and [madoka] tags -- please refrain from using [madoka] tags though)

To use GreaseMonkey scripts:

#Download and install the Greasemonkey add-on:
#*[http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox]
#*[http://d.hatena.ne.jp/os0x/20100612/1276330696 NinjaKit extension for Safari]
#*Chrome natively supports userscripts
#Download and install the MadokaRunes font
#Install the script
#Restart your browser if necessary
#Spoilers and/or [madoka] tags will now be displayed in runic script

==== Runes translators ====
*[http://p.mcfog.com/madoka-runes/ Online Converter] (just type and get runic text immediately)
*[http://starlet.s145.xrea.com/madoka-rune-converter/ Madoka Rune Converter] (type and get runic text)
*[http://kirie.net/~melon/app/madoka_rune/ MADOKA RUNE TRANSLATION] (type runic characters and get normal text)

=== Using runes on this wiki ===
You can use runes on this wiki with the <nowiki>{{Runes}}</nowiki> template, e.g. <nowiki>{{Runes|DENY THE OBVIOUS, UPHOLD THE INANE}}</nowiki> becomes {{Runes|DENY THE OBVIOUS, UPHOLD THE INANE}} (use uppercase for archaic variant and lowercase for modern variant).

To use musical runes, add <tt><nowiki>|variant=musical</nowiki></tt> to the template, eg. <nowiki>{{Runes|OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF|variant=musical}}</nowiki> becomes {{Runes|OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF|variant=musical}}. The font does not distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters, so either will produce the same results.

The runic fonts are embedded on this wiki via CSS. This should make the fonts visible without installing them in the operating system, and is confirmed to work with recent versions of [http://www.mozilla.com Firefox], [http://www.opera.com Opera], [http://www.google.com/chrome Chrome] and [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/products/ie/home Internet Explorer]. If you have trouble seeing the runes, update your browser or install the font files ([[#Archaic and Modern Font|MadokaRunes.ttf]] and [[#Musical Font|MadokaMusical.ttf]]) on your system.
