''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.}}
 
== How to affect potential ==
In the main series, Kyubey says that Madoka Kaname has massive potential. In the same sequence, however, Kyubey explains that Madoka Kaname was no one special. Kyubey says that, because of [[Homura]]'s interference, the "strings of fate" has all aligned around Madoka. Because of this, with every new timeline, Madoka's potential power grew greater and greater. As Homura centered the world around Madoka, the potential of Madoka subsequently grew greater. With this information, it can be assumed that if the world or region centers around a single person, the potential of that single person increases greatly.
