Speculah talk:Magical Powers

Direct Energy Attacks

Only seen in Ep.1. first by the prologue's witch against Homura, then by Homura as she is trying to kill Kyubey. Gertrud may have been attacking with this method before she is distracted by Mami's tendrils and Mami's gunshots may fall into this category.

I totally forgot about this. Sadly we did not see much of this magic (we did not even see Homura using it in fact, she was shown later and we did not see her attack Kyuubey since. I think it's not pure energy shots, just enchanted arrows from her bow, which is first kind of magic.

Japanese Speculah & General Cleanup

The following observations appear on the Japanese wiki, in regards to magic:

   * 魔法少女たちの使う異能の技。魔法少女になくてはならないもの。
   * 魔女との戦いの生命線。魔法の得意分野や性質は個人によって違う模様。
   * 契約時の祈りが魔法の性質に影響を及ぼすらしい。
   * 本作では呪文、詠唱などは必要とされないようだ。
   * 以下、今のところ使われた魔法らしきもの。
         o 空を飛ぶ（1話・ほむら）
         o 盾に魔法を付加し、攻撃を防御する（1話・ほむら）
         o 周囲の空気を払う（1話・ほむら）
         o 変身（1話・マミ）
         o 大量の銃(マスケット)を出現させ、それらを一斉に撃つ（1話・マミ）
         o ケガの治療（1話・マミ）
         o 念話（2話）
         o リボンを伸ばす・増やす・操る（2話・マミ）
         o 金属バットの形状を変え、魔法の力を付加する（2話・マミ）
         o リボンで物を切る（2話・まみ）
         o 大火力の巨大な銃(拳銃風)を出現させ、撃つ「ティロ・フィナーレ」（2話・マミ）
         o リボンを出現させて相手を拘束する(3話・マミ)
         o 手に大砲を出現させる(3話・マミ)
         o 離れた場所に一瞬で移動する(3話・ほむら)
         o 時限爆弾を出現させて仕掛ける(3話・ほむら)

English speculah content in this article as of present is a huge mess. The first and foremost issue is that there is no canonical distinction between 'material magic' and 'support magic.' Secondarily, 'bind/barrier' magic seems to be an umbrella for a variety of skills that don't necessarily fall under the category, and aren't restricted only to Mami. Thirdly, not all of the magic observed in the episodes are documented here. If this speculah is to be generally useful or informative regarding magic in the show, some time and effort should be dedicated to rewriting it. I'll try to put in some time in the next few days reorganizing and more fully documenting magic.
