It might be possible for a normal human soul to heal corruption over time. A natural magic user could either descend into corruption-induced madness or gradually cleanse their soul depending on their purity of heart, personality, good/evil deeds, or extent of magic use. Soul gems trap the corruption, causing it to build up with no outlet.

An anonymous user posted the following theory in thread #27:

Here's what I think:
  1. A human soul is actually capable of doing abnormal stuff like shitting rifles. at all times. You can't do it because it has a limiter, just like your body has a limiter that prevents you from using it's full strength in order to avoid harming youself.
  2. Once a girl makes a contract with kyubey or whatever (do we even know for sure there are more contractor animals around?), her soul is like on steroids and the limiter disappears.
  3. However, using magic would damage the soul (for example, it produces some dark energy, I mean come on it's basically witchcraft no matter how you look at it). This is why soul gems are needed - the damage is redirected onto the soul gem and it slowly dims, corrupts instead of the girl's soul.
  4. Once a soul gem is completely black it no longer can absorb corruption and using magic begins to hurt the soul, turning her into a witch.
  5. However, it will still absorb corruption if you "force" it to, and that's what they do to transfer it off their own gems onto the "grief seeds", which are actually completely corrupt soul gems.
There. the only inconsistency is the "grief seed cannot absorb corruption from your soul, but you can still transfer it from another soul gem"...
This could be because at this point, a witch perhaps can absorb corruption to become even stronger


Using magic and cleansing corruption without a soul gem

It might be possible for a normal human soul to heal corruption over time. A natural magic user could either descend into corruption-induced madness or gradually cleanse their soul depending on their purity of heart, personality, good/evil deeds, or extent of magic use. Soul gems trap the corruption, causing it to build up with no outlet.

A natural, uncontracted magical girl could defeat witches or even absorb corruption from soul gems and seeds as long as she rests and heals enough to avoid being overcome with corruption. This means she could gradually remove all the corruption from the system.

Magical girls and witches would hail her as their savior, but Kyubey would never see a grief seed again. Kyubey is obsessed with Madoka because, given the right training, she could become a natural magical girl and eliminate Kyubey's food supply.
