''Potential'' is a term [[Kyubey]] uses in [[Madoka Magica]]. While the potential of any given [[Magical Girl]] is never explicitly said, Kyubey gives clues and sequences to help estimate the potential of any given girl to become a Magical Girl
#REDIRECT [[Magic#Karma/Karmic Destiny]]
 
== Explanation ==
In order to become a Magical Girl, a girl in puberty must have a high enough potential.
 
Kyubey explains that the placement of a girl in her respective standing in the social sphere in the amount of potential a girl has. For example, it states, a girl who is a princess will have more potential than a peasant girl.
 
Additionally, the amount of potential decides how strong or accurate the wish is. For example, (spoilers for [[Tart Magica]] and [[The Different Story]]) {{spoiler|Lapin [[Lapin|(link)]] made a wish for Isabeau [[Isabeau|(link)]] to become human again after becoming a Witch. This, however, did not work as expected. Isabeau's body was a husk, and the Witch took over her body.}} in The Different Story, however, {{spoiler|Madoka [[Madoka|(link)]] makes a wish for Sayaka [[Sayaka|(link)]] to "de-witchify" [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|(link)]]. Unlike Isabeau, however, the process worked.}} {{spoiler|It can be assumed that even though both Lapin and Madoka made similar wishes, the potential difference between their potentials affected the strength or "accuracy" of the wish.}}
