Barrier
|
- Barrier (結界, Kekkai)
- An otherworld used by Witches to conceal themselves. Should a normal human wander in by accident, it is impossible for them to escape.
- Image: Madoka and friends entering Gertrud's barrier.
|
Familiar
|
- Familiar (使い魔, Tsukaima)
- Lesser monsters divided out of the essence of a Witch. Though normally assigned the task of maintaining and defending their parent-witch's barrier, it seems that they can eventually gain independence and stray to form their own barriers. Further growing, they take on the form of their parent.
- Image: Ulla, Suleika's familiar in his own barrier.
|
Grief Seed
|
- Grief Seed (グリーフシード)
- A Witch's egg, which occasionally appears after a Witch is defeated. Puella Magi require these items to restore their depleted magical energies.
- Image: Gertrud's Grief Seed.

The odd center of weight in Grief Seeds causes them to balance on their bottom pins. It may indicate some sort of gyroscopic self-stabilization.
Puella Magi
|
- Puella Magi (魔法少女, Mahō shōjo, lit. Magical Girl)
- Girls who have formed a contract with Kyuubey, and in exchange gained the power of magic. Existences entrusted with the task of combating Witches.

Soul Gem
|
- Soul Gem (ソウルジェム)
- A gem birthed from a contract with Kyuubey. Proof that one is a Puella Magi; the source of her magical power.
- Image: Mami's Soul gem
|
Soul Gems contain the magical girl's soul, while the body is merely a husk that is controlled by the Gem.
Witch
|
|
- Witch (魔女, Majo)
- The negative impulse that is called anxiety or suspicion, or excessive wrath or hatred = existences that spread the seeds of disaster across the world. Normally, they conceal themselves behind barriers.
